🕺 TESTING
In order to protect everyone and to make the night a safe and enjoyable environment, we are requesting that everyone provides proof of a negative lateral flow test on entry, taken no more than 48 hours prior to attending.
Simply show your negative test confirmation message from the NHS| upon entry.
Lateral flow tests are free and self-administered at home.
Test kits can be obtained from pharmacies, test centres, by calling 119 (7am - 11pm) or ordering online via the link below (allow 2 days).
If you plan on attending, please obtain your test kit ASAP.
Here's how to take the test, but it's best to follow the instructions in the booklet that comes with the kit:
More details on lateral flow test kits can be seen here:
🕺 PROOF OF VACCINATION
Proof of vaccination is NOT required.
Here's why: although a person may have had a vaccine they may still be carrying the virus but showing no symptoms.
However, according to the NHS, a negative lateral flow test result is hightly accurate in showing a person is not carrying the virus.
🕺 MASKS
Masks are optional, it's your choice.
If you want to take part in the class please note that some people may choose not to wear a mask.
That's their choice.
Remember, everyone in the class will have recently been tested negative.
🕺BUBBLES
If you want to stick to one partner during the class then you can do this by standing in the outer circle.
🕺 HUGGING
Hugging is optional. Always ask first and be cool if the other person says 'I would love to but can we do it another time?'.
🕺 HAND WASHING
Hand sanitiser will be made available on the entry desk. Please sanitise your hands on entry.
🕺 ENTERING THE BUILDING
Please enter via the entrance at the front of the building.
🕺 FINAL THOUGHTS
Taking a few minutes to take a test is a very small price to pay for the reassurance that we are keeping ourselves and each other safe.
Now, go ahead and get your lateral flow test kits, if you don't have them already, and dust down those dance shoes.
See you Monday if you want to join in the fun, with your dance mode switched to ON
With love,
Paul and the SALSA SQUAD Team.
