Temperature Check Update, after doing more research we will be taking temperature checks from the wrist or elbow fold, instead of the forehead. We also stand strong behind our decision of making face coverings mandatory while arriving, during class & exiting the studio. We came to this conclusion after having done extensive research, speaking to health professionals & other dance studio owners, teachers & dancers that have all made face coverings mandatory at their studios..., as well as, testing it out ourselves this summer during our in-studio 1hr. classes. Students will not have to wear them longer than 1hr. :) Exempt: Students 5yrs & younger, students/staff with an underlying medical condition or disability that inhibits the ability to wear a face covering, or who are unable to place or remove a mask or face covering without assistance. Other suitable options will be discussed (ex. face shield, ZOOM online class option). Students 5yrs & younger are encouraged to wear a mask if they are able to. We respect & support any decisions you make about your family's choice of joining our studio with our mandatory face coverings policy in place, as well as our full COVID-19 Safety Plan. Thank you for your cooperation in our journey of providing a safe place to dance indoors. We will continue our research & will always be open to suggestions from our families/students that are returning to the studio in Sept. KK Studio / Kelly Konno

Thank you everyone for your cooperation & understanding. KKS... https://www2.gov.bc.ca//covid-19-provincial-s/restrictions
