Maison Burlesque Covid Guidelines for Students

Unless otherwise specified here, usual T&C's (outlined below) will apply.

 

IF YOU'RE FEELING WELL

(ie, just another day in the studio)

- Please remember to sign in on arrival using the QR codes that are posted at the entrance and in other locations around the studio

- Please use the hand sanitiser provided upon entering and exiting the studio, and before using studio props (eg fans, gloves, boas, chairs, etc)

- Please be aware of personal space of your fellow students - if an area eg reception is looking busy, don't forget you are welcome to wait for your class in our downstairs bar too.

 

IF YOU'RE FEELING UNWELL OR SICK

- Stay home!

- Do not attend your class if you are unwell or directed to self-isolate (eg after taking a covid test)

- If you are unable to attend a in-person class due to illness or quarantine Maison Burlesque will offer you the option to attend one of our online classes instead for that week.

- Once you receive a negative covid test please show this to your teacher or email to the admin team before coming back to class

 

IF YOU'RE SHOWING SYMPTOMS BUT COVID-FREE

(eg you have some residual symptoms from a non-covid illness)

- Please have a chat to your teacher prior to class start (eg I have a cough but its from a cold from 2 weeks ago) 

- Please wear a mask when in the studio out of respect for your teacher & peers

- Please be extra vigilant about hand sanitising and distancing 

 

 

If the studio is closed due to government direction or a local outbreak:

- In the case of a studio shutdown leading to class cancellations due to covid-19, students will receive a class credit equal to the number of classes cancelled. This credit can be used towards a future in-person class or any of our online classes.

 

If you ever have any questions please just chat to your teacher or contact our studio manager Maple either by email (info@maisonburlesque.com.au) or call 03 882 6693.
