Masks are recommended while indoors but not required. Masks work best when they securely cover the nose and mouth and form a seal around the face.

We strongly recommend taking extra precautions in the two weeks leading up to the event, wearing masks while indoors and around others, and limiting your possible exposure. This includes working from home if possible and opting to not eat indoors at restaurants.

Please wash your hands with soap and water upon arriving at our classes and dances, and please wash your hands after using the restroom, sneezing, or coughing.
