In order to dance with us, all attendees must abide by the following requirements:
- You MUST be fully vaccinated AND HAVE HAD YOUR BOOSTER SHOT for COVID-19 in order to attend in-person SAA events.
- You CANNOT attend any in-person SAA event if you have any of the following symptoms: cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, fever or chills, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, pain in chest. Even if you think you “just have allergies,” please stay home.
- You CANNOT attend any in-person SAA event if you have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last ten days or had close contact with someone in the last 10 days who has tested positive to COVID-19.
While the following are not requirements, we do recommend that you:
- Wear a surgical mask or KN95 mask. These masks are more effective at preventing transmission than cloth masks.
- Take frequent breaks and be aware of your sweat levels. Swing dancing is a highly physical activity. Moisture can contribute to mask ineffectiveness. Take frequent breaks to prevent sweating too much or bring multiple masks.
- Consider not attending if you feel unsure about your exposure. We expect you to use your best judgment on this.
- Limit your dancing partners. You can always say no to a dance, with or without a reason! You do not need to dance with everyone in the room, and solo jazz is always an option.
- Sanitize/wash your hands frequently. Hand sanitizer will be provided.
- Get tested weekly, and be aware of delays between exposure and having an accurate test result. The CDC recommends vaccinated individuals get tested 3-5 days after exposure to COVID-19. If you have been exposed to COVID-19, remember that you may get an inaccurate test result if you get tested too soon.
