24.01.2022 Hi dancers, we are finally opening our doors with a COVID safe plan in place, so please read below if you are going to attend! Here are just a few rules to follow, as we return to the clubs dance lessons on Monday nights. Please DO NOT attend if you are slightly unwell with a cough, runny nose, or any other flu like symptoms.... Try to come with a dance partner, and stay with that dance partner (no rotations) Singles are most welcome too, you may partner up with a another single for the night. Please try to have the correct money for entry, members $5, non-members $10. Please bring your own drink bottle, as there will be no communal drink fountain. Upon arrival everyone must sign in, (name and contact no.,) for tracing purposes. Wash or sanitize your hands on arrival, before, during and after class; sanitizers will be available at the front table and kitchen ledge. Social distancing will need to be adhered to at all times unless dancing with a member from your household or partner. We do not require bookings at this stage, as we do have a limit of 100 people to be in the hall at any one time. We will also be keeping a check on numbers, but I am sure from previous classes we won't get that many attending. Thanks everyone, we are looking forward to seeing you and getting you back to dancing!
