Keeping you safe in class

Monday 10 January 2022

In light of the Omicron variant we are operating a reduced programme at our studio and in the community this January. We will be announcing new classes and introducing programmes steadily this term. We have implemented the following measures in all of our classes to keep everyone safe but still dancing!

DanceWest staff & teachers:

  1. Lateral Flow Tests: We are asking every teacher to test twice a week. 

  2. Isolation: If the teacher tests positive then we will ask that they isolate for 7 days and a cover teacher will be arranged if required. 

  3. Masks on entry and exit: We ask all teachers to wear a mask into the venue and out of the venue. 

  4. Ventilation: We have asked our team to ensure the windows are open during the class. 

  5. Washing of hands: We ask our team to wash their hands before and after each class. 

In class:

  1. We will encourage social distancing, so limit contact between participants and encourage them not to connect, touch or support.

  2. We will supply our own sound system to limit the use of equipment. 

  3. If equipment is used in the session (for example resistance bands, balls and mats). DanceWest will supply these and disinfect after each use.

Deskercise

Thursday 27 May 2021

DanceWest Deskercise.jpg

In partnership with Hammersmith Bid. We are delighted to launch a brand new programme for our colleagues in the borough working from home. Delivered every Tuesday morning in June, this activity provides a gentle and efficient way to stretch at your desk at the start of your working day. Screen users all suffer to some extent from tight shoulders, necks and backs from repetitive movements, static pose and a lack of attention to our posture. Deskercise allows participants to release stress and spark some energy with a quick bout of seated dancing. Further details here
