While participating in Dance Exchange programs:

  • To support our intergenerational community, masks are required for those who can safely wear them over 2 years old at all times inside the building (including lobby, studios, bathrooms, and hallways) or in designated outdoor class areas. Program participants should proceed directly to the correct studio to avoid congregating in the lobby.
