PANDEMIC RESPONSE
As a community, dancers reap the benefits on a weekly or even daily basis.
We are constantly challenging our bodies and our brains whilst maintaining/improving our mental well-being. At the same time we risk sharing our germs with each other ...with the current pandemic we need to react appropriately, not overreact and not under react.
It is prudent to react prior to necessity ...and to take the specific advice of the government and health professionals whilst understanding that this advice will change from time to time.
In response to the current situation we are inclined to change our current dance classes to LINE DANCE CLASSES where there will be no touching necessary.
We must unfortunately avoid any unnecessary contact such as hugging kissing or even shaking hands.
MINIMIZATION
We must ask anyone who recently travelled overseas or been in direct contact with someone who has to stay away from the classes for 2 weeks... this and the rest of the advice from government, such as self isolating if you have a fever etc etc should be observed.
Rumba course ...with our Rumba routine, we will dance through it several times without a partner for the purpose of maintaining the learning that you have done so far.
This is not as much fun of course but it will maintain what you have learnt.
HYGIENE
Of course we request that everyone maintains proper hygiene standards. It is well documented that washing your hands thoroughly with soap is more beneficial than hand sanitizer.
At this time we do have hand sanitizer available in our classes for you to use (despite one bottle being stolen).
We request that you bring your own supply of hand sanitizer to ease the pressure on our supply.
HOPE
We learnt today that there are two research facilities in the world who are close to cracking the vaccine. One in Canada and one here in Australia (Brisbane).
MONDAY WEST COAST SWING CLASS.
Tonight, Monday, 16 March
Tonight's class at Balcatta will not go ahead but instead we will run our Lake Monger class as a line dance class.
All other classes at this time will proceed as line dances. Looking at the positive some of you will get to learn stuff that you otherwise might not have.
We look forward to things returning to normal as soon as possible.
Regards
JDK Team
