UPDATE FOR MARCH 18 2020

To Our Families and Students of JNLDC:

Everyone in our community is feeling the impact of the coronavirus and we want to share with you what is next at JNLDC.

Starting Wednesday, March 18 the studio will closed temporarily to all group classes INCLUDING open tumbling until further notice. I am willing to conduct private lessons throughout the day, mornings and afternoons, Monday through Friday. To schedule or confirm a current private please email me at JNLDC@TWCNY.RR.COM OR MESSAGE ME ON FACEBOOK at Joanne’s Northern Lights Dance Co. Time will be allowed between classes for cleaning.

I know this is a difficult time for everyone including small businesses. I plan to conduct privates as long as the state allows. To be sure the healthiest environment is available to you, we ask that only one observer per private. Parents are also welcomed to watch from their vehicles if they have small children with them. With the front doors close to the building many parents have been backing into a parking slot and watching from their vehicles., or even from the windows on nice days. To insure everyone’s concern of my health, I have also been taking my temperature everyday as a precaution since Friday, March 13.

Please only consider coming to a private if you are feeling 100% well of any illness. No 24-hour cancellation policy will be in effect for those who cancel due to illness. However, please be respectful of your time slot and give as much notice as you can to allow another student to participate. Private are $20 and payable at the time of service.

Please follow us on Facebook and the web page for UPDATES as they become available.

May we all get through these rough times ahead and support each other and pray for everyone’s health and wellness.

Sincerely,
Joanne

IMPORTANT STUDIO UPDATE FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 17, AS OF TODAY ALL CLASSES ARE STILL ON .

THIS IS A DAY TO DAY DECISION. DUE TO THE 10 PERSON RULE SET BY THE STATE PER SPACE, WE WILL BE HAVING "CLOSED PRACTICES" WHICH MEANS NO OBSERVERS. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE IS IF THERE ARE LESS THAN 4 STUDENTS PER CLASS. THEN IF THE 4 STUDENTS WERE PRESENT WITH THEIR ONE ALLOWED OBSERVER INCLUDING MYSELF, WE WOULD STILL BE WITHIN THE 10 PERSON GUIDELINES.

THE PREVIOUS POST GUIDELINES STAY IN EFFECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. No need to inform us if you will not be attending , I do not expect full classes and respect everyone's decisions.

COVID 19 UPDATE! MARCH 15 2020

To Our Families and Students of JNLDC:

Everyone in our community is feeling the impact of the coronavirus and we want to share with you steps we are taking to prepare for coming days.

For the time being ALL classes will be held as scheduled.

*To limit unnecessary observers at this time, we are asking that only one observer per child attends class and to avoid bringing other siblings or friends to class.

* Each student and guest will be asked to wash their hands upon entering the building and again before leaving the studio.

* Each group class will be finishing 5 minutes early so we can take a few extra moments to clean counters, door handles, chairs and wipe down the bathroom and chairs and mats used between classes and use disinfected spray. A full cleaning will be done before each day as we do every day.

* Please only consider coming to class if your child is completely healthy, have no fever or signs of any illness of any kind.

*I also feel the children’s mental health is also important. Therefore, I am asking people to refrain from talking about the coronavirus during class time while at the studio. I realize adults as well as children may have anxiety and I would like to give students 45 minutes where they can free their mind and thoughts.

I’m happy to hear that children are the least effected with the coronavirus however this does not alleviate the stress and fear of our children.

These requests are effective immediately and may change at any given time due the changes around us that are out of our control. I understand classes may be smaller due to parents’ decisions not to attend and we certainly respect everyone’s decisions to do what they are comfortable with. Updates will be posted here as needed or as conditions change.

Thank you for your support and understanding. For any and ALL comments or questions please private message me or email me at JNLDC@twcny.rr.com
