San Francisco has moved to the Yellow Tier and gyms, fitness centers, and  niche indoor activities, have been approved to reopen with modifications for adults only. In many neighboring cities children’s activities have reopened. 

Our children in SF have been left behind. While safety of any aerobic indoor activity is necessary, dance schools that meet safety standards should be allowed to reopen safely now!  

As a parent of dancers, I have seen the emotional and physical toll that not dancing on a good surface, in a large space,  via more dreaded screen time, has taken.  Dance floors are specialized to prevent injury, dance shoes cannot be worn outside without damage. Dancing on cement is not safe!  Some kids do not like and cannot participate in outdoor sports. Some kids love to dance as both their exercise, and as their artistic expression. 

Children have as great a need, if not greater, to have their dance studio as an outlet during these tragic times. Adults can walk, run and exercise by themselves outdoors. Children need supervision to get any physical activity.  They count on us to make the right decisions and to make available physical exercise and opportunity in order to stay both physically and mentally healthy.  

Please support this cause to reopen San Francisco Children’s Dance Studios Now!
