COVID Policy
Hello Breakaway dancers and community!
The Breakaway has made an update to our mask policy. Classes that begin on or after September 25th, masks are optional in both the lessons and the social dance.
Prior to this, masks were required in lessons but optional in social dance. We will continue to provide masks for free at the front desk as we wish to support those individuals who may feel uncomfortable dancing with an un-masked partner.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at info@breakawayswing.com or chat with an organizer at the venue.
Disclaimer: There is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 or other illnesses, in any public space where people are present. By attending The Breakaway, you agree that entry is at your own risk and you voluntarily and expressly assume all risks associated with entry. We have put in place policies and preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but cannot guarantee that exposure to or infection with COVID-19 will not occur while at The Breakaway. You must assess your own risk tolerance and if you decide to register/attend, you will agree to not hold The Breakaway or any of its staff liable for contracting any illness. A full refund (minus PayPal fees if paid via credit card) or full credit will be available for anyone who chooses to stay home as a result of illness.
Additional Guidelines Before Attending The Breakaway:
If you are feeling at all sick, sniffly, scratchy throat, feverish, chills, muscle ache, or abnormally tired, PLEASE don't attend the dance event! Reach out to us at info@breakawayswing.com for a refund if you feel ill.
If you have taken any big risks in the preceding days such as air travel and big crowd events such as concerts, please consider taking a home antigen test or PCR test even if you DON’T have symptoms. This will help protect the community.
Hand washing with soap and water before the event as well as the use of hand sanitizer is also highly encouraged between dance partners.
If you do attend the dance event and later test positive for COVID, kindly inform the organizers and people you may have shared a dance with or had close contact with. This will encourage other community members to get tested themselves and prevent further spread of the virus. You can email us at: info@breakawayswing.com
Last, but certainly not least, get your booster shot if you're eligible for one and haven't already done so!
