SUMMER 2022 COVID-19 Protocols Agreement as of 3/31
*As of January 7, 2022, the CDC Guidelines for Exposure and Quarantine states you must quarantine for 5 days if you have been in close contact (within 6 feet of someone for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with someone who has COVID-19, unless you have been fully vaccinated. People who are fully vaccinated do NOT have to quarantine unless they have symptoms. However, fully vaccinated people should get tested 3-5 days after exposure, even though they do not have symptoms and wear a mask in public for 14 days following exposure or until Covid test result is negative.
*INDEMNITY: Student (adult or minor and minor’s parents or legal guardian) shall release, indemnify, defend and hold Ballet Spartanburg (including its officers, directors, agents and employees) harmless from and against all liabilities, claims, penalties, damages, expenses, attorney’s fees and judgement by reason of inquiry, COVID-19 or related illness and/or damage to persons or property arising out of dance lessons at the Ballet Spartanburg premise or other premise designated for rehearsals and/or performances.
The joyful picture above of children from Sidewalk Hope, an inner-city ministry in Spartanburg, captures the essence and innocence of joy, hope, and the connections that are created when we dance. Sidewalk Hope participated in the 2018 So You Think You Can Dance, Spartanburg! community event, a fundraiser in partnership with 10 local organizations. The picture above reflects opportunity, joy, happiness, dance and above all, who we are as an organization: education, outreach and performance.
The happiness in dancing on stage is reflected in this precious little dancer's eyes and body. Arms open, lights aglow, feet planted firmly on the stage, basking joyfully from a successful performance. This is the feeling we have as we anticipate returning to the stage this October with the premiere of Carlos Agudelo's, The Wizard of Oz. Ballet Spartanburg and its Board of Trustees and staff will monitor and adjust all health and safety precautions as directed by the CDC. We are ready to dance. We are ready to see our audience. We are ready.
Thank you for your continued love and support for 55 years. Onto our 56th season we go! Now follow the yellow brick road and grab your SEASON TICKETS TODAY!
