Consideration for Reintegrating Into the Dance Studio

05/11/20 • 47 min

As restrictions are beginning to be lifted many dancers, teachers and companies have reached out with questions on how to safely bring dancers back to the studio. Dr. Kat PT and Dr. Davenport MD have worked to combine their knowledge of the dance environment and the current understanding of COVID-19 to provide information for you to assess how the virus may spread in your location, and some ideas on how to mitigate the risk. These questions along with the guidelines from your state and local governments can be taken into account when determining what measures you may want to take prior to allowing dancers back into your location.
