Class Cancellations in March
DanceWell PDX Schools — Covid 19 Cancellations — and Temporary Class Formats
In effort to keep everyone well and feeling safer we have cancelled March classes temporarily. DanceWell classes usually follow the school district closures anyway, and partnering may not be in folks’ best interest right now. 😊
However, we have different options for restarting March classes and we are planning various different class formats for April as well. I’VE DESIGNED SOME SURVEY QUESTIONS SO WE WILL GET AN IDEA OF WHAT OUR STUDENTS WOULD LIKE FOR THE TEMPORARY FORMAT
What format you would like the classes to be?
- Keep everyone solo, learning good technique and movement, syncopations and styling with NO CONTACT or partnering.
- Keep your one regular partner throughout the classes – no changing of partners during classes at all.
- Wait until the virus threat is over
- WHAT DANCES would you like taught with these new temporary formats ?
Please email, text or call this coming week — March 15-20 — to confirm your interest in a class [or NOT] linda@dancewellballroom.com
😊 and we are also offering Private lesson appointments in the Beaverton and Parkrose locations for $65 during the months of March and April [Our regular rate is $75-$79 — *Note there may be time limitations on this rate]
Detect Scammer Emails easy
💭 How can I tell if emails are malicious emails? Use the “Second to the Last Dot” rule.
>>> PAY ATTENTION to your emails. Malicious scammer emails are getting trickier and even more aggressive than in past, using bank names, credit cards and government agencies and scare tactics.
BE WISE –Check the return email or link address. “The “real” site is revealed by what comes between the second-to-last dot and the first slash. Scammers can’t fake this part. For example: the URL https://microsoft.login.com.x.co doesn’t go to microsoft.com or microsoft.login.com – it goes to .x.co ”
ALSO never use any links or phone numbers in any questionable email or text that’s using any type of scare tactics. Rather find the business on the web and use the real phone numbers and links found there for real info.
Here is the LINK where most of this info was gathered.
Health Notes March 2020: Protect yourself – Protect others
>>> 💭 Health note: PROTECT YOURSELF – PROTECT OTHERS at classes and events you may attend.
Here are some common sense actions
*Wash hands for 20 secs on arrival and when leaving [enough time to sing the happy birthday song 2x].
No touching your face.
Washing hands every now and again during events and definitely after a cough or a sneeze…
Plan to STAY HOME IF ILL.
**Note that if the ballrooms smell a little “cleanser-ish” its because we are wiping commonly used surfaces every day. .
>>> 📢 If you have any hand sanitizer to spare we’d love if you’d donate 1 or 2 to one of the ballrooms so we don’t run out.
