Taking care of yourself
The dance can be energetic and physically strenuous. Listen to your body and dance at an energy level that is healthy and safe for you.
Your body is always your guide… Following your own energy and tempo… respect your own physical limits…
Taking care of yourself:
All instructions for exercises and activities are invitations: adapt them for the needs of your body and always feel free to opt out.
Take care of your body in movement.
Pay attention to your sense of space and proximity.
Dress in layers; have a blanket at hand (we will have doors open even on colder days to ensure sufficient ventilation).
Bring your own water bottle.
Use the hand disinfectant provided and wash your hands frequently.
Make this a nourishing time for you.
Dance at your own pace.
No need to push, no need to hold back.
Taking care of others
Please use integrity in deciding whether to come and dance.
If you recently had contact with someone COVID-positive, if you feel unwell or if you have symptoms of COVID-19 (high temperature, continuous cough, loss of sense of smell or taste), please refrain from coming to the dance session.
Please respect other dancers’ space and choices, when it comes to hugs and physical contact in general.
We may have exercises that can involve safe physical contact. In that case, the receiving person declares what contact the receiving person wants (e.g., a flat hand on the back or no contact at all). I ask that these requests and boundaries are adhered to.
