NEW AIR PURIFIERS
Well before Covid, Marietta Dance
Academy was committed to safety
and cleanliness. For dancers' physical
safety, we installed quality dance
flooring and train a dancer's entire
body not just teach cool tricks seen
on Instagram. We also do everything
we can to create a safe space where
September 6 a dancer can express themselves and
grow as artists.
In the time of Covid, we've followed
National best practices to keep everyone safe. In the summer of 2020, that
Pawpaw Day included adding an electrostatic sprayer to sanitize classrooms &
Sept. 16 equipment between classes. This summer we are proud to add
another safety tool: Medify Air Purifiers. Air purifiers have become
standard in most classrooms and businesses. Medify Air Purifiers
use HEPA filters to remove 99.9% of particles and are large enough
to filter the air of the studio every 30 minutes. While air purifiers
National won't keep us safe from Covid by themselves, they have been
Talk like a proven effective when used with other best Covid practices.
