We recognize the reality and the fear in our community regarding the spread of Covid 19. Our goal is to create a place that puts safety first. We know that many in our dance community have to take a cautious approach to returning to dance and we are here to make that process as safe and stress-free as possible. Dancing has always been an activity with some innate risks. It is more-so with Covid 19 out there, but life is about personal responsibility and choices. It is beyond our control to make everyone happy so if you are uncomfortable with what we have in place, it is best to not join us yet. Some people are bound to stay away because we aren’t strict enough and some will stay away because they see us as too strict. We can respect both points of view and hope that when you are comfortable to again join us in the future, you will do so. We all await that light at the end of the tunnel where we can go back to dance parties like we use to have.
A face mask and/or face shield that covers your mouth and nose is mandatory at Sultry Swing. We do enforce our rules, so if you want to join us, please be respectful of that. Beyond that, our parties are mandatory masks (meaning a shield isn’t enough). We have added a UV light to our main AC unit and both side ACs, that’s 10+ tons of AC to help kill viruses and bacteria as the air is circulated. Dance Socials are held to 16 guests to allow for space between partnerships both on the floor and while seated. Hand sanitizer are available at each table. The studio is sanitized daily with areas of regular use being sanitized multiple times thru-out the day. Please, no hugging yet! We ask those who join us to keep the mask on at all times except for when necessary because you are eating or drinking. Please do not remove your mask to talk or to rest (we ask those who want to remove their mask for a bit to do so outside the studio).
We are asking those in the high risk category or having ANY symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, or a fever not to join us. Thank you in advance!
