Health & Safety
Covid & Zoom Plans
We have moved to "masks optional" in our studio. We may need to change this over time if conditions warrant. We are trying to offer as many in person options as possible, while continuing to comply with changing local and state COVID regulations. At any time this may change if County or other prevailing conditions require -or- if we experience a high number of positive cases. We may need to convert some or all classes to Zoom only from time to time or for extended times. Please review our COVID video that relates our protocols.
Anyone who is experiencing COVID (or other contagious disease) symptoms should not come into the studio. If a dancer tests positive for COVID, please follow all current CDC recommendations about returning to the studio.
Zoom Options will be available in a limited capacity for the 2022-2023 year. If your dancer meet the criteria below and needs to utilize Zoom, we must be informed well before the start time of class via contact@ovationsstudios.com; advance notice is necessary to facilitate the zoom equipment set-up before the start of class time. While we will still include Zoom links in the parent portal, we ask that the utilization of said zoom classes be limited to the following:
- Dancers who have tested positive for and/or are displaying symptoms of Covid-19.
- Dancers who have tested positive for and/or are displaying symptoms of any contagious disease that may be spread in a classroom.
- In the event of an emergency situation that would prevent staff from being able to access the studio (i.e. Snow Days, Flooding, etc.)

Competition Team!
Thank you Amanda, Jessie, Kristen and Lori for continuing to lead our team to success!
Congratulations to our competition team on their amazing first four seasons!
2021-22 Season: Last season we attended two conventions and four competitions with considerable success at all six. We had four convention scholarship awardees in Ballet, Ballroom and Jazz and with multiple pieces earning "High Gold" and an overall 3rd for "Swanhilda's Friends". At our first competition "Swanhilda's Friends" again placed in the overalls, this time claiming 1st place, and won the "Breath of Fresh Air" Special Judge's Award. We also had 2 more judge's awards, 5 more overall placements AND an overall 1st place teen solo ("The Words"). Our last competition garnered three more 1st place finishes, three more Special Awards and a victory for our apprentice team with their tap piece winning 1st overall at the first - and only - competition this season.
