The safety of our Dancers & Staff is of the utmost priority here at Van De Veere Productions. Listed below are the current procedures we will be utilizing going forward.
MASKS, WATER BOTTLES AND HAND SANITIZER
Masks are optional; bring a water bottle full of water and your own hand sanitizer. We have extra masks and sanitizer in the studio too, if needed.
CLEANING
Ballet barres if used during class, will be wiped down between each class.
All high touch areas will be wiped down in between classes.

VDV follows school district closures for inclement weather. If they are closed or close early, we will be closed. Any bad weather that occurs after school hours or Saturdays will be evaluated and emails will be sent out. All closing info will also be posted on our Facebook page.
The first two closure days per dance year will not be made up. Makeup classes for further closures will be announced once scheduled.
If an instructor is ill, VDV will attempt to find a sub for the day, which could include an advanced student teacher. If no sub is found, classes will hold a make-up day.
