Salsa & Bachata classes return to Lakeside, Frimley Green on MONDAY 4th OCTOBER! 

It’s been a long time coming and we hope you’re as excited as we are to get back on the dance floor at Beepy’s.

For now, anyone wishing to attend our classes will need to take a LATERAL FLOW test BEFOREHAND. 

This can be taken at any time up to 36 HOURS PRIOR to the class. 

Full details on how to do this are provided below.

We fully appreciate this requires a little extra time and effort.

However, with case numbers still relatively high, the often-asymptomatic nature of Covid and the fact we’re engaging in one of the more high-risk activities, we would prefer to err on the side of caution for the time being. 

We will be reviewing the policy on an ongoing basis.

The measures will reduce the likelihood of any of us unknowingly passing on the virus.

Our aim is to create an environment where all in attendance can feel confident, safe and therefore more relaxed – to the extent possible at this time. With this collective effort, we hope that will be the case.  

 * Masks will not be compulsory but you should feel free to wear one.

 * We will be ventilating the venue with fresh air via the doors on either side of the dancefloor.

 * Hand sanitiser will be widely available at the venue and you’ll be encouraged to use it frequently during the evening.

 *If you have any Covid symptoms, even if the result of your lateral flow test is negative, please refrain from attending the venue.

It’s inevitable and apparent that there are very differing feelings on what we are all comfortable or not comfortable doing at the moment. 

We ask that all try to be sensitive to these differing feelings and respectful of everyone’s individual choices.

It may mean someone doesn’t want to give you a hug, or declines your offer of a social dance. 

Please be understanding and gracious at all times – whether you’re asking or being asked. 

With this approach we are sure to have the welcoming, friendly dance venue we have always had!  

Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation of all of the safety measures. 

Let’s dance!

Details for providing proof of negative lateral flow test:

To attend the classes or social dancing everyone will need to provide evidence of a negative lateral flow test reported within the last 36 hours.

Lateral flow rapid test kits are available free from pharmacies or you can order online here:

https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests

Once you’ve taken your test, which takes just a few minutes, simply report your result here:

https://www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result

Then bring the text/email confirmation to the class to show at the door. 

You don’t need to bring the actual test 😉 You might want to take a screen grab, to make it easier to locate.

Alternatively, if you’ve registered with the NHS app, your result will automatically be added to the app shortly after reporting it. You can find it by going to ‘View Covid-19 records’

If you’re not familiar with this procedure or have any questions, please email or message us in good time.
