DESCRIPTION
This series of classes was hoped to concide with a lift of lockdown that on 21 June. Unfortunately that didn't happen so we'll remain with the 20 restrictions until the government guidelines change.In other words, something more like "normal' 5 Rhythms will hopefully return soon, but for now we'll need to continue with the social distancing.
The space will be restricted to half of the official capacity, to allow those who feel safer dancing with space to feel safe and accommodated.
This will be an ongoing group and to get the most out of this you can join for the whole series, but you can also join for one or more individual sessions if you can't make them all. Tickets can be bought individually or on a series pass basis. If you choose a series pass and you can't make a session, your ticket can be transferred to another dancer as long as you confirm their name more than 24 hours before the class.
If for some reason the series has to be postponed due to Government guidance changing, or if some other covid-19 restrictions affect your locality at the time of the events that prevent you from attending, you'll get a full and no-quibble refund.
PLEASE REVIEW AND BE SURE YOU'RE OK TO COMPLY WITH THESE RULES BEFORE BOOKING:
I'm looking forward to welcoming you to Stretford Public hall! I know so many of us are ready to move, but for this to happen, it will need to be a different kind of 5Rhythms class than we're used to. I want us to stay safe, and also hopefully to be able to continue this class in future as circumstances change. For now that means following some clear rules.
In order to comply with health and safety regulations and risk assessments completed by both myself and the Stretford Public Hall, and considering 5Rhythms as an exercise class according to the Government guidelines, we need dancers to cooperate with us in following the requirements (listed below). Please only book if you're able to agree to respect and adhere to all of the 20 points below.
1) Please don't come if you have any symptoms of Covid-19 or if you're supposed to be self-isolating or in quarantine. Cancel your ticket in these circumstances and you will be refunded.
2) Turn up ready to move by the official start time. You can arrive up to 10 minutes before the start time and warmup music should be playing from 20:00 for the start of the class.
3) It's not required to wear a mask to dance, but at time of writing the we require that a mask be worn whilst entering and leaving the class. Please respect this.
4) Please follow the safety signs put in place by the Stretford Public Hall and avoid congregating in communal areas, also leaving 2m distance whilst queuing to enter the building
5) We reserve the right to take your temperature at the door
6) We reserve the right to take your name and phone number for Test and Trace on the door
7) We will not allow dancers to join any later than 15 minutes after start time (i.e. 20:15). Please be on time.
8) No physical contact on the dance floor, no exceptions, sorry.
9) If possible, arrive in the clothes you will dance in.
10) Please cover your feet with socks or indoor shoes of some sort. If you're wearing socks, use socks with a suitable grip for the floor - e.g. yoga socks - because the floor is slippery. If dancing in barefoot is what's needed to keep you from slipping, do that.
11) Bring enough water for yourself, we won't have access to the kitchen
12) Hand sanitisers will be available
13) We will be maintaining 3m physical proximity between dancers in the dance space (absolute minimum 2m when you're moving around the dancefloor), please respect this. This also applies to those sharing the same social bubble or living together, to keep things simple for me as I'm holding the space and to keep things consistent in terms of the shared experience for everyone
14) Please keep your eyes open whilst dancing
15) Don't dance topless. If you think you'll sweat with a top on, bring extra clothes to change as needed.
16) Belongings can be brought into the space and safely left away from public entrances at the side of the dance space. Leave physical space between your belongings and those of other people.
17) Class will be finished at 19:15. Please be out of the building by 19:25 and after class don't congregate with other attendees inside or near Stretford Public Hall.
18) If you have symptoms or test positive for Covid 19 within 7 days of the class please inform NHS Track and Trace immediately.
19) These guidelines can be changed or adjusted if circumstances demand it and without warning in advance of or during the class
20) Please respect that whilst new additional requirements might appear on the night to deal with situations that unfold, the first 19 will not be relaxed. Please help me and help you and your fellow dancers to be able to continue to offer 5Rhythms in the weeks ahead in Manchester by adhering to them!
Wow, that's alot! At this time, it's what we need to do to be able to make this happen...
I look forward to meeting you on the dancefloor on Wednesday!

FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
Due to covid-19 restrictions, this class is restricted to over 18s
What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?

What can I/can't I bring into the event?
Please bring water and your own bottle to drink whilst you're dancing. Water will not be provided. Please do not bring alcohol (or drugs!). These should also not have been consumed prior to the class.
How can I contact the organiser with any questions?
Email is best: markaustin5rhythms@gmail.com
What's the refund policy?
If you've bought a pass for the whole series you can request a refund via eventbrite up to 30 days before the class. Tickets bought on the week of the class are non-refundable. The only exception will be refunds if you are exhibiting symptoms of covid-19 or have been exposed to someone who has. This refund will be available with notice up to 2 hours before the event. Refunds will not include the Eventbrite booking fee which is unfortunately non-refundable, and in the case of a pass the refund will only be a proportional refund for the night in question, not for the whole series.
Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?
Tickets are transferable if new names are emailed to markaustin5rhythms@gmail.com at least 24 hours before class. If you've bought tickets for other people, please let us know names of attendees when purchasing.
Also last minute "selling" of tickets to strangers at the door is not permitted, sorry, as this causes confusion and disturbance for those arriving.
Am I allowed to talk or take photos during the class?
Chitchat with other dancers is discouraged during the class, as it's distracting for dancers and the teacher. Photos and video recording are not allowed in person or online.
For more information please contact markaustin5rhythms@gmail.com
