Covid Policy: We are excited to be back with the Skye & Naomi Workshop Weekend, including Uptown Swing Dance with the Gordon Webster Band. It is of utmost importance to provide as safe an environment as possible as we continue to deal with Covid-19 in our lives. Partner dancing is a high risk activity. However, there are things we can do to limit the risks, with the cooperation of all who attend. It is not possible to completely guarantee that no one will be exposed or infected with Covid-19 while participating. Please evaluate your comfort with the level of risk prior to deciding to attend.

Everyone will be required to show proof of up to date vaccines, including a booster if more than 6 months since your original vaccine shots, and received no later than 10 days prior to the weekend. Only one booster is required.

Masks will be required when indoors. As there is a huge protection difference with the variety available, acceptable masks include N95, KN95, KF94, and surgical masks. Cloth or vented masks are not acceptable.

What you can do prior to attending:

• Limit exposure during the 10 days prior to weekend, especially indoor activities with groups of people.
• Wear a mask while traveling on a plane or public transportation.
• Do not attend if you are feeling any symptoms related to Covid-19.
• If you have reason to believe you have been exposed to Covid-19 in the 10 days before, take a Covid-19 rapid test prior to attending.

Please send proof of vaccination to info@hoptothebeat.com. Your name will be added to an approved list. You do not need to send if you attended Beantown Camp 2022.

Shoes & Bags: Bring comfortable shoes such as clean dry sneakers or soft-soled flat dance shoes. Smoother soles have less traction and are better for easy turning and movement. (Hard soled shoes will scratch the floor finish.) Please change shoes on the entrance mat to help prevent outside wet, salt and grit from getting on the wood floor. Bags and street shoes should be left outside the gym so as to maximize the dance space.

Snacks & Drinks: You may want to bring snacks for the breaks. There are no vending machines in the building. There are nearby places to get food, however, there is nothing close enough to the workshop location if time is short.
