TFAP Health & Safety Protocols
The F.I.L.E.S. Arts Project (TFAP) looks forward to sharing the joy of dance with your students this summer. Safety and health are our priority and we take our lead from the CDC, Alabama Department of Public Health, and current local case data. Anticipate changes in these protocols as we continue to learn and adapt to follow best practices. We will periodically communicate changes or re-affirm current protocols. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
Coming to Class
- Students will wash or sanitize hands before and after class.
- Hand sanitizer will be available by each studio and the front desk.
- Students may not wear street shoes in the studios; dance shoes are not allowed outside the facility such as on the sidewalk or in the parking lot. We recommend students find shoes such as Crocs to slip on over their ballet shoes or change shoes before entering the studio space.

- Dressings rooms are open for use. Students may bring their personal items into the dressing rooms which will have assigned spaces.
