Notes for everyone’s safety: Masks that cover both the nose and the mouth are required, as is proof of full vaccination against covid-19. If it’s been more than 7 months since your first vaccine course, show proof of booster as well. We encourage dancers to bring their own water bottles and to take their water breaks outside (weather permitting). We will also have a designated indoor area for water breaks by the water fountains at the far end of the Spanish Ballroom.
