Its an interesting time

Like all dance teachers here and abroad I am following the updates on the Coronavirus (COVID-19) very closely and are continuing to evaluate the situation as new information comes to light. I will continue to follow the advice of the NZ Ministry of Health who are still advising that with good hygiene practices and continued vigilance that there is still a low chance of a widespread outbreak.

NEED TO KNOW

• I am still available to teach private lessons for couples only on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in Tauranga as normal and will continue to evaluate the situation as we move forward.

• I do have soap available so do wash your hands before and after classes.

• Please practice good hygiene such as washing your hands and coughing/sneezing into your elbow or a tissue that needs to be put immediately into the bin before you re-wash your hands.

As part of the protocols concerning the COVID-19 virus, I suggest you ask yourself the following when you are considering coming to class (or any other social situation):

1. Have you personally been diagnosed with Covid-19 (Coronavirus)? (Y/N)

2. Are you in contact with anyone that has been diagnosed with Covid-19 (Coronavirus)? (Y/N)

3. Are you displaying any symptoms of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) – dry cough, fever, fatigue, muscle pain etc? (Y/N)

4. Are you in contact with anyone that is displaying any symptoms of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) – dry cough, fever, fatigue, muscle pain etc? (Y/N)

5. Have you returned from any overseas ‘high risk’ countries in the last 14 days (currently listed as Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Iran, Italy, Japan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Tenerife, Thailand & Vietnam)? (Y/N)

6. Have you been in contact with anyone that has returned from any overseas ‘high risk’ countries (as aforementioned) in the last 14 days? (Y/N)

If you answers YES to any question then we please ask that you do not come to class until you have completed the 14-day self-isolation requirement.

We understand that this will be causing some anxiety and uncertainty within our community. We want to encourage everyone to be kind, look out for each other and stay positive.

If you want to learn to dance and feel that this is a great time to learn with your partner or a friend – please contact me.

WHAT A YEAR !!

Often I receive the nicest comments from the wedding couples I work with:

“Just wanted to let you know we pulled our dance off brilliantly! The guests were incredibly impressed that we’d been to dance lessons and couldn’t believe my husband picked it up so easily! We had a lot of fun and were so proud we nailed it! Thanks so much for your choreography and positive teaching.” L&C

“The wedding was amazing and we surprised everyone with our dance. They all absolutely loved it and were so impressed! 🙂 Thank you for your patience and crafting a dance that suited us, you really made learning easy and fun. Definitely a memorable experience and I’m so glad we did it.” K&N

If you want some help with your wedding dance do call or email. Remember you may not need a complex dance, just a few moves might be all that is necessary.

Dance Company is now closed for the holiday break and will be back teaching from the 13th of January.

In February I will be starting a “Ladies who Latin” class on Wednesdays 6.45pm – 8 pm in Matua. If you think this might be just what you need to look forward to in 2021 send me an email. I promise a fun class with a good dollop of technique.
