Common Questions
How long are classes?
- 40 minutes
Why are classes mostly outdoors for winter?
- Safest option against Covid
- Since classes are movement based, in full sun locations, and winters are trending milder, classes work well outdoors. We were bundled up for 2020 winter and it was a blast!
- More students have the opportunity to attend class outdoors.
- With our flexible make up policy, you can be sure to get in the full 11 classes for your session.
What weather would prevent class from happening outdoors?
- Cold weather of low 30°'s or below
- Rain or snow depending on how heavy it is
What are the options if there's bad weather?
Ft. Greene
1. Attend class indoors at the vast space of the Fort Greene Clinton Hill Playgroup
2. Make up the missed class at another regularly scheduled class time outside
3. Roll over missed classes to the spring session
Carroll Gardens
1. Attend a 25-minute remote session at your regularly scheduled class time
2. Make up the missed class at another regularly scheduled class time
3. Roll over missed classes to the spring session
What if I miss a class?
- Make up any missed classes at the other regularly scheduled class times during the session or roll it over to the spring session.
What safety precautions are taken?
Outdoors:
- Social distancing
- Anyone that's sick should avoid coming to class.
- Bringing your own instruments to class is encouraged.
- Instruments provided in class are thoroughly sanitized between uses.
- Mask wearing required for unvaxxed adults
Indoors:
- All of above outdoor safety guidelines
- Proof of vaccination for adults
- Temp check for everyone upon arrival
- Masks required for adults and kids 2 and up
- Adults should do their best to keep their kids near them during class
- Indoor space is huge - 1000 square ft. with 30 ft. ceilings. Space will have windows and doors open as well as filtration fans going.
What is the youngest a baby should start classes?
- It totally depends on each child! I've had babies begin as young as two months and gain great benefits from class. My recommendation is to try out class with your little one to see what makes sense for them.
