COVID-19 Protocol & Policy
Updated January 2023
COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
Kizomba RDU Dance Company has been keeping close watch on the updates from public health and Governmental officials, as well as monitoring the spread of Covid-19 in our area. In accordance with CDC guidelines and Durham County mandate, MASKS ARE OPTIONAL to attend class, regardless of vaccination status. We do honor and respect peoples choice to wear masks in our class and hope you will do the same.
Some of the measures we are using for the safety of our students, staff, and families:
-
VACCINATION required for all teachers of our classes.
-
TEMPERATURE SCREENINGS at the door prior to entry into any class.
-
CONTACT TRACING. Online registration for classes allows us to keep record of all classes or events participants, and the ability to contact all participants if necessary. This also completely eliminates the physical transfer of cash, which helps reduce spread of the virus.
-
TRANSPARENCY. We trust that you can and will contact us in the case of infection, and we will communicate immediately to those who might have been in contact with you.
-
PRIVACY. Your privacy is our priority. None of your information will be shared with anyone or any other entities.
-
TESTING. Team members receive periodic COVID-19 tests for everyone's protection.
-
COMMUNITY SAFETY. As our dance community interacts between different events and dance companies, we will try our best to support one another and work together towards the safety of each members of our community.
If you feel sick, are symptomatic or think you may have been exposed to COVID-19 we ask that you stay home.
Everyone attending classes or events will be required to review and agree to our below COVID-19 Liability Waiver.
