2020 Evening Classes
Term 4
will begin on Thursday 15 October, and, COVID)19 permitting, will
run for 10
weeks up to 17 December, just one week before Christmas Eve.
Our distanced dancing and exercising solo under
a COVID-19 Safe Plan, proved worthwhile in Term 3, so we plan to
continue with physical distancing (hands free of course), observing the usual
hygiene precautions and subject to the advice of the NSW Department of
Health.
It is essential that you let us know if you'd like to come along, as we need to
limit numbers & to have contact details.
We recommend wearing a mask when travelling on public transport, and in
class if you prefer to do so, as well as using
hand sanitiser regularly, and having the COVIDSafe app active on your
phone. Bring your own water and snacks, and get a COVID-19 test and stay home if you are
at all unwell, or have been exposed to any recent contact, hotspot or travel
risks.
