COVID-19 Cleaning & Safety ProceduresCOVID Updates & Procedures
Storm Dance Alliance is extremely proud and excited about some new equipment that we have invested in for the health and safety of our dancers, their families and our staff. We have purchased 11 Pure and Clean Active Pure units for the studio. The Active Pure unit eliminated 99.96% of airborne SARS-CoV-2 virus within 3 minutes. There is one unit located in each one of our 9 dance studios as well as one in our lobby area and one in our café area. Please take a quick minute to look over the attached information sheet on these units.
We have also ordered, and are waiting for installation next week, two iWave purifiers that will be installed on each one of our rooftop units. The iWave air purifier has no only shown to eliminate the COVID virus by 99.4% in the air but also on hard surfaces. https://www.iwaveair.com/
We want you to be at ease knowing that we are doing everything we can to keep the studio clean and sanitized and in doing so, keeping your dancer healthy. This was a major investment but we want this to be a safe place for your dancer.

In-Studio Protocols
Please understand that issued protocols have been a very fluid situation, with rules and pronouncements changing on a near daily basis. Our studios are very large, as is our waiting area, so social distancing is easy to accomplish. Our class sizes will be limited which further simplifies the situation. You will be informed about any changes as they occur.
- Masks must be worn by children and adults.
- Temperatures will be taken at the door and we do ask that everyone sanitizes their hands upon entering.
- Please enter through the main door and exit through the cafe doors.
- If possible, please drop your child off at the front door.
- For our dancers 5 and under, we understand that this is probably difficult to do. Not to worry: One parent may enter and stay in the marked off areas.
- For the safety of everyone, parents please do not wait in the studio for you child. We want to keep our occupancy low.
- If you or your child is not feeling well, please stay home.
- If you have any exposure to COVID please call or email the studio immediately.
- Please talk to your child about social distancing. Not only in class but in the common areas as well.
