Things you need to know about this week.

NEW! WAITING AREA FOR PARENTS AND FAMILIES

'Ballet Breakfast' will be coming back soon but until that time comes, we are delighted to announce that we are opening a new waiting area for parents, friends and families at Studio S. We do have plans to open our Café again once regulations permit.

Whilst we are unable to allow any public access to our buildings in line with our protocols for Covid-19 and Safeguarding, we have made a covered outdoor area available, and we will be offering a limited selection of drinks and individually wrapped confectionery / snacks for purchase. We politely request that our customers are mindful of all of the following terms and conditions:

  No toilet facilities are available for either adults or children using our waiting area at this time. (Toilets are still available for those taking part in classes in our marquee with sanitisation taking place between each individual use). We apologise for any inconvenience caused, but this is necessary at this time for health and safety purposes, please do not ask our staff if you can use the toilet, the current rules are in place for very sound reasons.

Studio S (The Senate Group) will accept absolutely no responsibility for any accident, damage or injury which occurs in this area, it is used entirely at the risk of the customer.

Drinks and snacks are available for purchase and we would request that those choosing to use the waiting area only consume food and beverages purchased on our premises, not bring their own.

The area is within a section of our staff car park, and therefore we ask that customers remain aware of that and restrict their use to the designated area only. The area is not suitable for use as a children’s playground for obvious reasons.

All adults and children using the area should remain seated at all times.

Please do not use the area if you or a member of your household have tested positive for Covid-19 within the last 14 days or are manifesting any of the signs and symptoms associated with the virus.

All tables and chairs will be sanitised at the end of each class. We would respectfully request that customers use the bin provided for cans, food wrapping papers, tissues etc. 

We have given consideration to Government and HSE Guidelines in relation to the mitigation of the risk of Covid-19.

We have also listened to our customers, many of whom enjoyed dancing outdoors last summer and would prefer to continue with classes in our lovely garden rather than dance indoors in the studio.

We have invested heavily in a professional marquee, lighting etc,  and some audio equipment to enable us to continue with our outdoor classes. 

Government guidelines allow for outdoor classes with effect from March 29th , up to a maximum of 15 children. 

IMPORTANT CHANGE:

Please note that for the foreseeable future, advance booking is required for all Studio S classes and activities. Should you need to cancel for any reason, please notify us 48 hours ahead of the class so that your place can be offered to others. Otherwise, there is an expectation that any 'no shows' will pay the usual class fee anyway. More details to follow very soon about our new booking system..
