Dance schools should be under the same category as schools.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government and Parliament to give dance schools the same restrictions as schools.

Dancers wanting a career within this industry need, should and deserve to be able to train, gain education and qualifications with their dance SCHOOL if schools are remaining open.
Under The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No. 4) Regulations 2020 dance studios must be closed. There is also no exemption listed for the use of dance studios for education and training purposes.

This means dance schools cannot open for education or training purposes, but schools can?

The only difference is we have the word dance infront of the word school.

We should be categorised with schools.
