Rejected petition Let dance classes be able to continue, as this is still education

Let them continue as it is educational!!

More details

because it is part of education (schools are still opened), some people have it as their jobs so they won’t get money from it if this closes. So many people do dance to help with their mental health and because they love it and it makes them happy

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

While dance studios are on the list of businesses that are required to close, they are allowed to open for education and training, childcare purposes and supervised activities for children: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-national-restrictions-from-5-november

This means that dance classes for children can continue during the current lockdown.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Allow all dance studios to open with covid safety precautions in place: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/557275

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
