Department of Dance Face Covering Policy: Fall 2022 (Stated on Dance Website Home)
While UCR’s indoor face-covering policy is currently “Strongly Recommended” for all individuals who are up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations, and required for anyone who is not up to date on vaccinations, because many of our courses require rigorous physical exertion, in accordance with my authority as Chair of the Department of Dance, I am delegating each instructor the authority and responsibility to implement and enforce a face-covering policy that works best for their own course and classroom needs, and that is informed by their own expertise and understanding of the risks associated with the material/content they are facilitating. This means that in some of your dance classes you might be required to wear a mask. You may request a free mask from The Well at https://campusreturn.ucr.edu/face-coverings . For the health and safety of our instructors, and the students we are serving, we appreciate your compliance with our department – specific policy.

If you have concerns, please reach out to me directly at anthea.kraut@ucr.edu
