HPSD is committed to the health and safety of all our dancers, faculty, staff, and their families.  The school follows the latest guidance from the CDC and local authorities. HPSD COVID-19 policies and procedures will continue to evolve as conditions of the pandemic change. 

Though it is not possible to eliminate the spread of COVID-19, this page outlines in greater detail the safety measures we are putting in place to help reduce the spread. Click on a topic below for more information. 

All guidance provided on this page reflects policy revisions enacted as of 7/20/22 for Fall 2022 and Winter/Spring 2023. Guidance is subject to change.

**Masking is recommended not required for all studio participants as of 9/15/22. Subsequent masking guidance will be based on HPSD community cases and the City of Chicago COVID Risk Level. Guidance will be posted on signage at entry and around HPSD facilities.**
