NEW COVID RULES -May 2021
There’ve been changes in the covid rules. Here’s the DanceWell take on it.
Covid notes:
With constant changes over the past year, its been difficult to keep up. Right now at DanceWell masks are not required if fully vaccinated, and it’s up to individuals whether to exchange partners or not. We do ask those who are possibly contagious with cold, flu or whatever to remain masked or choose to take sick days off in consideration of others.

COVID COMMUNIQUE -December 2020
Happy Holidays to you all!
December 1, 2020
We wish you and yours well! Due to Covid mandates we are again closed to all in-person group classes and parties. We all will hope that anytime soon we’ll be able to open again. Virtual online classes are continuing.
We know it’s a drag to be on lock-down again but the Christmas magic is still here…holiday twinkle lights are everywhere…and visions of sugarplums are still dancing even if only in our heads. Keep watching the calendar for class updates since they are changing often. Current news will be sent out by email with some happenings as well.
We miss you all and have so much appreciated your continued support though the years, and especially during these days of closure. You can still help our small business by buying Gift Certificates for your friends; and donations can made through our online store 24/7.
Merry Everything and Happy Always!
from the DanceWell crewe
COVID COMMUNIQUE NOVEMBER 2020
DANCEWELL COVID COMMUNIQUE
November-December Business Lock-Down
No worries, things will get better and we will reopen our classes and parties just as soon as allowed. Currently in Washington County reopening will be in 2 weeks [DEC. 3rd] and in Multnomah County 1 month [DEC. 16th].
We at DanceWell are a little discouraged over both the refusal of so many to wear filtration masks and equally the government for mandating business shutdowns yet again. Public safety and business continuity are equally important.
People are social creatures, and many will socialize no matter the mandates. We just hope all socializing anywhere will be with masks in place.
Many businesses have limited and distanced their clients, taken temps regularly, enforced masking, encouraged frequent hand-washing, and regularly sanitized. DanceWell studios also have very high ceilings and plenty of windows for ventilation. We don’t take our clients health for granted — and we ask that our state government consider Oregon business health as well as public health, and take each case on individual merits. Not enough workers to enforce the rules? There are lots of unemployed people right now—give them jobs.
To add your complaints about the negative impacts of freezes and closure mandates to Oregon State Health Authority and also to the governor and Oregon congress: https://www.oregon.gov/gov/pages/share-your-opinion.aspx
Best wishes to everyone over the holidays!
