Health & Safety Protocols

Ballet Austin’s highest priority remains the health and safety of all the members of our Ballet Austin community. We believe that our mission that focuses on the encouragement of health and well-being as part of the experience of dance, addresses a vital need in people’s lives.

Protocols effective 3/24/2022:

  • MASK GUIDANCE: While choosing to wear a mask remains an option, masks are no longer required. The City of Austin and Travis County have lifted all COVID-19 emergency rules and orders.

  • Pre-Register for Class or Previously Schedule Meetings: Only those previously registered for a class or have a previously scheduled meeting will be admitted to the building. No one will be admitted to the building without a previously scheduled purpose.
  • Note: As of August 1, 2021 all Ballet Austin staff, dancers, faculty/ instructors are fully vaccinated. All new hires are required to be fully vaccinated.

Ballet Austin will continue to monitor the CDC, federal, state and local guidelines, as well as the guidance of our medical advisor, and will update our protocols and communications with you, as the situation requires.

We look forward to seeing you as we continue to fulfill our Mission to involve and strengthen our community through the creation and experience of dance, and the encouragement of health and well-being.
