Some important information:
SHOES: Please bring a pair of clean indoor shoes to change into. If you have dance shoes, that’s great. If you have neither, a pair of cozy socks will suffice..
HEALTH AND SAFETY: Please stay home if you are feeling unwell or are coughing or sneezing. There are hand sanitizer and masks on hand, should you need them.
NO PARTNER NECESSARY if you are okay with switching partners. If you are not okay with this, you must attend with a partner that you know and trust, and you don’t have to switch if you don’t want to.
