Covid-19
Information, guidelines and rules relating to our classes & events
Class guidelines & rules
In spite of many/all regulations being relaxed we intend to keep some of our new guidelines in place in order to best protect our dancers and any vulnerable people who may come into contact with them.
It is important to understand that there are risks associated with group activities, especially dancing in partners, and by attending a salsa class you are accepting these risks.
We will continue to register all attendees and restrict numbers in class in order that we can both ensure adequate airflow for all dancers, and be able to alert all attendees should there be any cases of covid at class. Although you accept the risks by attending classes we want to ensure that anyone who attends and may have been exposed has up to date information in order to protect any relatives, friends or colleagues they may have who are vulnerable.
We will continue to work in all our dancers best interests and appreciate you following our guidelines. Failure to follow the new rules & guidelines will result in refusal of entry with no refund. This is to ensure the safety of all attendees, staff & teachers.
Thank you for your understanding.

- Proof of double vaccination, or a negative lateral flow test taken on the day of class, will be required for entry.

We are working to both ensure our dancers safety as well as create a fun welcoming atmosphere in class so at time of booking you will be asked how you prefer to dance in class as follows:
- Remain in couple (i.e. with the same partner all evening)
- Happy to bubble up with an additional dancer (i.e. a couple + an additional dancer if we have uneven numbers)
- Happy to rotate in class
We anticipate having a circle of dancers with a section of dancers who are staying with the same partner, a section of ‘bubbles’ of 3, and a section of ‘rotaters’.
It remains to be seen what works best but we hope to accommodate everyone’s desires in order that all attendees feel safe and welcome. This will no doubt be a work in progress so please bear with us as we find our feet – we have your best interests at heart.
