Hand Sanitizing 

Multiple sanitizer stations will be positioned around the event venue. These stations should be visited and used frequently by all attendees.

 

Social Distancing

Social distancing is not required and is hard to observe when dancing in close proximity. We ask that you are mindful of your interactions with people that not attending the event but may be in and around the hotel e.g. Hotel guests, Service staff, Taxi and Public transport staff.

None required at this time.

 

Do not attend if you are unwell

It is important to act safely and responsibly if you are not feeling well, for yourselves, as well as your fellow dancers and friends.

Please think about this if you are feeling unwell or present any symptoms of Covid 19 in the lead up to the event. In this case we ask you to stay at home and not attend.

 

What to do if you feel unwell at the event

If you feel unwell at all, stay in your hotel room, do not attend the event activities. Contact one of the event staff privately, immediately through the messenger app on the Facebook event page or us. The Staff will be happy to help get you over the counter medicines, further medical advice or attention if necessary.

 

Room sharing

If one person in a room feels unwell, then all room mates should also be aware and take precautions.

 

Fixed or Mixed partners

Be mindful that not everyone is ready to mix with others as freely as some.

Now more than ever, do not be afraid to say ‘no’, or feel awkward about someone saying ‘no’ to you. Just try to be understanding, as none of us know anyone else’s story.

If the event has to be cancelled, then full refunds will be given or as an option, your pass can carry over to SwingVester 2023.

If you have any other suggestions on how we might make you feel safer please feel free to contact us via Facebook messenger.

 

Thank you for your support, understanding, dedication and patience.
