After months of considering it, and studying the official guidelines we have decided to take our first baby steps to return to on-site venue classes while taking all the appropriate precautions and following all the official COVID-19 guidelines for fitness & dance classes, such as:
ππΌ One-way in & out system. Separate entrance in & separate exit out of venue
ππΌ Strictly Limited numbers (please hurry & book)
ππΌ Pre-booked classes to guarantee plenty of space for all participants (compulsory)
ππΌ Large venue with Socially distanced marked-out spaces for singles/solo or couples classes
ππΌ Non-contact classes (singles/solo)
ππΌ Partnerwork classes for same household or genuine support/social bubble partners (without partner swapping)
ππΌ Face-masks must be worn in all communal areas (along with physical distancing), and recommended for classes also, especially partnerwork classes when everybody is facing in different directions
ππΌ Ventilated venue with open windows & extractor fans, plus high ceilings
ππΌ Hand sanitiser stations
ππΌ Contact tracing names & phone/email registration kept for 3 weeks with venue
Initially we are running weekly Tuesdays & Saturdays Salsa & Bachata classes & special workshops, with separate Wednesdays & Thursdays venues to follow soon hopefully. If we have enough people we will introduce more choices, more days & more venues, and finally get back to doing something which is proven, and we all know from experience to be great for our physical & mental well-being. We hope you can join us.
