VanTap Arts Centre is Open

We have implemented cleaning protocols, social distancing measures, and made the VanTap space as safe as possible for you to come back and join us in person.

If you are coming to the building:

  • Please wear a mask in common areas (lobby, hallways etc.)
  • Masks are optional when dancing as long as you can remain in your square, and social distanced from any other students or the teacher
  • Please wash your hands with hand sanitizer or in the bathroom upon immediately entering the building
  • Wash your hands thoroughly throughout your visit in the building
  • Keep your distance, 6ft/2m between you and others at all times. Be mindful of this especially in our hallways, and coming in and out of the studio
  • Enter and exit through the front of the building on Hastings St.
