Allow Dance studios to remain open during lockdown

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Dance studios are a fundamental part of mental wellbeing in adults and children. It is an essential educational activity providing an outlet for life challenges. Allow dance studios to remain open during any national or local lockdown, ensuring we have a mentally happier future generation.
The impact of Covid-19 on the younger generation for not being able to continue with hobbies such as dance or sport has meant they have no outlet for energy, stress and any mental health concerns, stoping these activities as further impacted this. Dance is an educational setting for students to learn a new skill/talent and be inspired. Classes are done in a covid secure safe space. Online does not offer the same benefits that in studio classes do. People need this!
