Returning to Dancing at Ralph Allen

To do social distancing dancing is a challenge and so there will be many differences to the norm.

RSCDS guidance suggests that if you are classified obese or are over 70 with an underlying medical condition it is not recommended that you attend.

Entrance to the gym will be through the back door not the Fire Exit – please see map (download below). The Fire Exit will be the exit once the class is in progress. 

1. To attend a class, you must inform the dance teacher, by email, by midday on the Tuesday – hbletso@gmail.com or telephone 01225 429573.  Numbers will be limited to 30 attending (this may change).  You must give a name and telephone number each time.
2. Sanitise hands when you enter the gym – sanitising gel is available.
3. Sign in and leave a phone number.
4.  Do not touch any equipment except for the seat you are using.
5. Only two sets will dance at any one time in the first instance.
6. Windows and doors will be open throughout the session – it will be cold on occasions!
7. Wear masks when dancing (these may be taken off when not dancing following precautions) – RSCDS guidance
   Please have your own hand sanitiser to clean hands between dances.
