COVID-19 Studio Policies and Upgrades
(Updated May 17, 2022)
​
As our local community continues to improve in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 and reaching herd immunity through vaccination, we will continue to update this page with scientific and government sources.
​
The information here is based on current CDC, American Circus Educators Association, and NC Department of Health and Human Services recommendations and on recommendations and legal orders from the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. The decisions we are making as a business are informed by the above metrics and guidelines, as well as feedback from our staff, students, and community at large. Please know that we are constantly monitoring the variants and updated scientific data to make the best decisions for the safety of all.
As of May 17, 2022, we are implementing the following policies:
​
Can vaccinated people be unmasked in your studio? Yes
​
What is your mask policy? Masks are optional in our facility.
​
Can we ask our students and their families if they are vaccinated and show proof? Yes, we are legally allowed to ask and ask for proof. We can legally keep a log but no photos of your vaccination card. There is still gray area but we feel safe with this based on discussing this topic with lawyers in North Carolina. This is voluntary. We will not mandate that you show us proof. But if you are fully vaccinated and want the opportunity to train without a mask, you have to show proof.
​
Sharing of Apparatus: We will allow up to 2 participants of any age to share an apparatus during a class. Students who have their own equipment will not be asked to share their personal apparatus with someone else.
​
Please do not come to the studio if you feel unwell.

How does the COVID-19 affect youth? Children, including very young children, can develop COVID-19. Many of them have no symptoms. Those that do get sick tend to experience milder symptoms such as low-grade fever, fatigue, and cough. Some children have had severe complications, but this has been less common. Children with underlying health conditions may be at increased risk for severe illness. Read more
