My 7 year old attended studio c Dance. Before re enrolling her I confirmed that any children under the age of 10 would not be required to wear masks. Due to their dances they have accelerated breathing and heart rate, the last thing I want is her oxygen limited. Everything was fine for months minus the fact there were no recitals due to covid and the children are watched on a screen so the parents just drop their kids off and leave so there isnt any relationship building I eventually stopped going in myself Because just sat there alone. A sub instructor came to teach my daughters class of only 3 young girls. She asked my daughter if she had a mask to wear, like they always do although they know I do not want her to wear one, and my daughter said no. They proceeded to separate my daughter from the rest of the class and have her practice the routine away from her friends/other students as if she was some virus ridden nonhuman thing. My daughter rarely ever gets upset over anything but that day she came out crying so upset. The owner did reach out to me with an apology but never addressed handling the situation we never experienced this before and my heart broke for my daughter she loves ballet but we will never be going back. They informed me that, that instructor has serve asthma, what that has to do with my daughter, I dont know but at the end of the day, my daughter was and is healthy and its not her responsibility to worry about other peoples health, to each their own. If the instructor is worried or has some personal issues she should have been separated from the class or better yet stayed home.

So sad- loved this school and the fact that they did have such great safety protocols and now they don’t enforce masks or temps anymore at all. Very discouraged especially considering that the younger population doesn’t have access to the vaccine yet.

They are very good with the kids! They are also very serious about keeping things clean and safe for all the kids!
