The cleaning procedures at the Maryland Academy of Dance are designed to maintain a safe, hygienic, and welcoming environment for students, staff, and visitors. These procedures include daily cleaning and sanitation of all high-traffic areas, such as the dance studios, restrooms, waiting areas, and hallways. The cleaning team uses industry-standard, eco-friendly cleaning products to wipe down surfaces, including floors, mirrors, and ballet barres, ensuring that the studios remain clean and free of debris. Restrooms are regularly stocked with soap, paper towels, and hand sanitizers, with a focus on disinfecting high-touch surfaces such as faucets, doorknobs, and light switches. The floor mats and surfaces in these areas are cleaned thoroughly to prevent the spread of germs. In addition to routine cleaning, the Maryland Academy of Dance also follows specific protocols during flu season or other health concerns. This includes frequent disinfecting of shared equipment like yoga mats, weights, and props used during classes. Air quality is also important, with regular ventilation of the space to ensure fresh air circulation. Staff members are trained to encourage personal hygiene practices, including hand-washing and sanitizing, as part of their commitment to keeping the academy a healthy and clean space for all.
