Delaney Dancing
The Friday Dance Restarted 23rd July. Our Covid Measures are under ongoing consideration and will evolve as Government Guidance is Updated
This page lists specific measures being used to minimise the risk of Covid infection at the Friday Dance. In addition, please be familiar with our Covid Awareness webpage which includes links to Government and NHS websites. Thank you.
Your Health - If you develop Covid-19 Symptoms please don't come and follow NHS Guidelines.
Location - The main hall at Portchester Community School, White Hart Lane, Portchester, PO16 9BD. This is a large airy hall ideal for social distancing.
Access to the hall is via the front foyer and rear car park. The school has its own Covid measures in place and your cooperation adhering to these is appreciated - thank you.
Schedule - Virtually every Friday.
Timings - The dance will start at 7:30pm and will end at 9:30pm (see Packing Away below). Please don't come in early and please leave promptly when it ends. If you arrive early please wait outside or in your car. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Payment - Cost £7.00. To protect us all, the handling of cash will be minimised so please have the correct money to hand. Thank you.
Pre-Booking - Delaney Dancing is obliged to keep records and manage the numbers attending. If you can email or text to let us know beforehand if you intend coming it would be appreciated. In the same way if you have said you are coming, but then can't make it please let us know. Your help with this is much appreciated.
Format - A blend of Ballroom, Latin American and Sequence Dancing, with some line dances. It's not a teaching environment as such - but we are all a bit rusty - so if the moment feels right we may go over a Sequence or Line Dance.
Social Distancing - Thank you in advance for your help maintaining appropriate social distancing.
Seating - Please look to seat yourselves appropriately as per Government guidelines.
Hand Cleaning - Whilst we will be providing a hand sanitiser station we are also asking people to bring their own.
Communal Areas - These include: foyer, corridors and toilets - areas potentially used by varying groups. Whilst the school will include cleaning of these areas in its daily maintenance schedule, Delaney Dancing recommends heightened Covid awareness when in these areas (minimise touching of hard surfaces and hand washing after).
Toilets - will be available as usual - no more than two people are allowed in the toilets at any one time.
Refreshments - drinks will be available for purchase as usual, but Delaney Dancing stresses you are very welcome to bring your own...
Packing Away - we don't need any help packing tables and chairs away - when you go it's fine to leave furniture where it is - thank you.
Short Notice Changes - Things might change and at short notice. We recommend that you check your emails before setting out.
Face Masks - The school asks that you wear a mask in communal indoor areas. You can remove your mask when dancing...
Your help supporting these measures is appreciated. Thank You
