DanceChamp offers a variety of Ballroom and Latin dance classes for both Adults & Children so whether you are young, old, new to dance, already have experience; if you want to dance for fun or competitively, get fit or make new friends, we have a class that is right for you.

DanceChamp provides top quality group tuition, in addition to other services, such as private tuition, wedding dance choreography, party bookings and Pro-Am partnering by fully qualified, licensed and insured former ballroom and Latin American champions.

So if you want to Cha Cha, Rumba or do the Quickstep, you can learn them all with Dance Champ.

 

There are a number of measures we are taking to ensure the safe restarting of classes & private lessons.

* Sanitiser and kitchen roll will be available ( but you may want to bring your own!)

* Windows and back doors will be opened prior to student’s arrival.

* There will be a one-way system in operation for entry and exit of the halls to help the flow of people and adhere to social distancing. Doors will be clearly labelled.

* You must pay your class fees by booking Online. All classes will need to be paid for in advance and by term to secure your place (as classes will have reduced numbers and need to be full)

* Music will be run at ‘conversational level’ to prevent the need to raise voices (which can increase virus transmission distance).

* There will be gap between lessons/classes to reduce the chance of student’s grouping/overlapping. This will also allow us time to clean surfaces between sessions. Please do not enter until your allocated time. If a student is in 2 consecutive classes then they may remain in the hall during changeover.

* Sadly, parents will not be able to come into the studio for group classes whilst we are so restricted on numbers. 1 parent per student for under 8s and private lessons please where possible. If a parent of a SEN student has a specific concern then please talk to a Dancechamp teacher in advance of the class.

* Any local lockdowns will be monitored and may require short-notice cancellations.

To return to dancing, following lockdown, we will be asking students to adhere to the following:

* Face masks will be required upon arrival at the studio/hall by parents and children over of 12 years however you are not required to wear them whilst dancing. Face masks will need to be worn if a student needs to use the toilet facilities

* Some of our venues require temperature checks to be carried out upon arrival and you will only be permitted to enter the studio, and remove your mask, if you are below 38°C. Entrance will also be subject to a pre signed waiver to confirm you will not come to dance if you or anyone in your household is unwell with Covid symptoms, or if you have travelled back from any restricted areas or countries.

* If a student is late for a class then they must wait outside the hall until invited in by the teacher who will wait for a suitable break in the class.

* Whilst it will be lovely to see you all again we ask that you refrain from hugging our teachers, or other students.

* There will be no refilling of drinks allowed at the studio, please ensure you bring a sufficient amount for your lesson.

* Please avoid entering the studio/venue before you are invited by a teacher (and have had your

temperature checked where applicable).

* Check and confirm that your contact details are up-to-date... these will be collected on the waiver form but if details change after that is completed then please inform us as soon as possible. This is needed for NHS Track & Trace purposes.

* Try to leave one parking space between your car and others if possible.

* Wash hands regularly and use sanitiser provided.

* Students must arrive changed and ready to dance but can change shoes in the hall. We ask that students do not wear school uniform during sessions.

* Towels are not permitted to be brought into dance studios under current government guidance. It is recommended to use paper towels where possible.

* Only those who share a household or are in “fixed” partnership from separate households can dance together. Solo students will not be able to dance with another student or their teacher until government guidelines remove the social distancing regulations.

* Good behaviour in the class is essential as teachers and pupils will be encouraged not to raise voices as this can increase the risk of transmission.

* We kindly ask that until further notice, everyone refrains from taking photos or posting on social media regarding our lessons and classes. It is a difficult time with a lot of blank holes in government guidance and others are very quick to judge. We just want to concentrate on ourselves and our students!

We can’t wait to get back to normal! But for now this new normal allows us to be back in some sort of normality.
