What it looks like for YOU when you attend the studio or a class (Protocol for Dancers):

  • All dancers will be verbally screened by DCDC staff members for symptoms prior to entering the premises. Temperatures will be taken.

  • We also request members limit the amount of personal items brought into the dance studio and store all jackets/layers prior to starting class. This is to avoid bringing further outside contaminants into the facility. You are allowed a small dance bag with a change of clothes and dance shoes.

  • We will not have our normal snack station open to purchase snacks or water bottles.

  • Dancers do not need to wear masks while in class since they are participating in a recreational activity, but we do welcome your dancers to do what is comfortable for them and your family.

  • Dancers are expected to adhere to instructions provided with respect to social distancing.

  • We are currently welcoming our Twinkle Baby & Twinkle Star parents in our lobby to ease back-to-dance anxieties. These parents who choose to stay in the lobby must wear a mask in accordance with the city mask mandate. Thank you for helping us follow this Shawnee ordinance.  

    • We love and miss you Mini ShowStars and Junior ShowStar parents!! We hope to get you back in the lobby soon!​

    • We will be posting extra videos to our social media sites so you can still see what your dancer has been up to in class!
