COVID 19 Pandemic Rules and GuidelinesFor In-Person  dance Classes

8/1/2020

 
 UMA is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace and learning environment for all our staff and students. We have developed the following COVID 19 Pandemic Rules and Guidelines for all of our in person dance classes. UMA’s goal is to mitigate the potential for transmission of COVID-19 (and all illness) in our workplace and throughout our communities. Full cooperation from all UMA staff and students is critical to our collective success. All UMA instructors, administrators, and students/clients are responsible for implementing and complying with all aspects of this COVID 19 Pandemic Rules and Guidelines. Our COVID 19 Pandemic Rules and Guidelines follows guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Pennsylvania Department of Health guidelines, and OSHA Standards related to COVID-19.

Booking Classes
  • You must reserve a space and pay for class via the MindBody website or app.
  • Booking of classes will open three days to a week in advance. 
  • UMA in person classes will operate with a 20 participant limit.
  • All UMA members who proceed to book in person classes via MindBody are required to sign an updated Liability and Release form. (This is a one time signature.)
Returns, Exchanges, and New Pricing
  • As of August 2, our pricing structure will change:
    • All online classes are $10/ class
    • All in person classes, out-doors or in the studio, are $15/ class. 
    • Membership pricing and access remains the same.
  • All gift cards and class passes valid as of March 16, 2020 will be honored through the last day of September. 
  • No refunds or exchanges will be possible for in person class bookings.
Before Leaving Home:
  • Take your temperature. We also have a no-contact thermometer at the studio and will take temperatures if we feel it necessary.
  • Put on your dance/workout clothes. We will not be providing a sanitized area to change on site and are working to minimize public use of our bathrooms. 
  • Fill your water bottle. We will not be providing water. 
  • Read and sign the updated Mindbody waiver

  • Arrive 5-10 minutes before class start time and wait to be checked in as you enter the building by an UMA staff member. Clients unable to arrive with adequate time for check in will not be allowed to take class. There will be no refunds for late arrivals.
  • Clients will enter Studio A (the big studio) by turning right at the top of the stairs. 
  • UMA will NOT provide drinking water or cups. Please bring your own. . 
  • Please arrive in your dance/workout clothes. We discourage use of the lobby or hallway bathrooms to change clothes. If you must change your clothes after class, you may use the hallway bathroom. We are not responsible for sanitation and maintenance of the hallway bathroom, as it is shared with other businesses in the building. 
  • Clients unable or unwilling to follow this protocol will be asked to leave or may be suspended from booking future classes.

  • Outdoor class may be cancelled due to poor weather. You will receive cancellation notices via text and/email 30minutes before class if there is bad weather.
  • ​If there is a cancellation due to either reason stated above, your pass will be credited to another class of your choosing on our schedule. UMA staff will be in touch promptly in order to reschedule your pass. There are no refunds.
Our COVI9-19 Sanitation and Controls Protocol
Controls for social distancing
  • Students are not allowed to share personal items with others, nor allowed to borrow from UMA.

70% isopropyl and 60% ethanol alcohols may be used to disinfect in 20-30 seconds. (CDC)
3% hydrogen peroxide: 30 seconds for nonporous items; 6 minutes for other items. Hydrogen peroxide can also be diluted to 5 parts water to 1-part hydrogen peroxide without reducing efficiency. (CDC)
Additional EPA-register disinfectants can be found on the EPA website. (EPA List N Chemicals)
