In case if Ontario government is bringing back mask policy, which only usually applies to entrance into the building or for dancers who leave their sitting area to go to washrooms or common area, such as food and drinks tables, we will ask you to kindly put on a mask when you are not consuming food or dancing. We apologize that we will not issue any refund for dancers that object to the mask policy.
