Covid-Safe Dance

Following the 22 April 2022 easing of restrictions, we are able to welcome everyone into our indoor, in-person classes. 

Staying well to dance

Please don’t attend Moving Essence classes if:

• you feel unwell or if you are displaying any of the COVID-19 symptoms
• you have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 7 days or are awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test
• you have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 7 days.

The rules are constantly changing so if you have any doubts please familiarise yourself with the current guidelines at https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/

Distancing

This is not a requirement however, we encourage you to please be sensitive to individual needs to maintain physical distancing. Not everyone may feel comfortable having a hug, or dancing with contact so we suggest you check in and ask first if you want to make physical contact in some way. 

Masks and dance classes

Face masks are no longer required indoors or when dancing.  However, you may choose to wear one for your own personal reasons or as required under the close contact guidelines. Please respect people’s individual choice to wear a mask..

Hygiene

Please use the hand sanitiser we provide, or wash your hands.  If you sneeze or cough, please do so into your elbow or a tissue.

We recommend that dancers bring their own water bottle.

Lost property

Please take responsibility for collecting your belongings at the end of each session. We will store valuables like wallets, phones & keys but cannot promise to store abandoned, sweaty clothes.  If left at the hall, venue cleaners may dispose of them.

Payment

We can offer contactless payment methods or online registration for our classes. For weekly classes, there is no need to book, just pay with a card or cash as you enter.

Respect and Compassion

We have been in a very challenging and divisive time. Moving forwards, we hope and pray that this era is over… We feel that now is the time to come together again and dance, with care, respect and understanding.

Please respect our work and the guidelines we offer.  If we feel like we don’t have that shared support and understanding of the guidelines, we have the right to deny entry or ask someone to leave.
