We reserve the right to add to or change our COVID policies if we deem it necessary.
Common-sense COVID courtesy:
- Do 👏🏽 not 👏🏽 attend 👏🏽 if 👏🏽 you 👏🏽 are 👏🏽 sick 👏🏽
- Do not attend the event if you have had a positive COVID test within the preceding 7 days, unless you have re-tested and received 2 negative results.
- We recommend that all attendees do a self test before the event and also a few days afterward.
- If you attended a large dance event in the 7-10 days preceding I Heart Bal, and there are known exposures at that event, you should wear a mask, even if you feel fine. Same thing goes for known exposures in your office/school/friend group/etc. (Single use masks will be available for free at the front desk and throughout the venue.)
Masking: we are a mask-optional event.
We know that wearing a mask is the best way to protect yourself & others from COVID. However we also recognize that for many people, COVID has ceased to be a daily concern. We do not plan to require masks at our event, but we support anyone who chooses to wear one.
If you'd like to reduce your personal risk of COVID, flu, and other respiratory diseases, we recommend wearing high quality N95 or KN95 masks during all indoor activities at the event. We'll also have the windows open wherever possible in our venues to increase air flow in the space.
Vaccine Recommendations
RVA Swing no longer requires proof of vaccination for our classes & events.
However we super duper STRONGLY recommend that you have received both a COVID and a flu shot for the 2024/2025 flu season. (If you're old enough to qualify for an RSV shot, you should totally get that too!) Dance events are germy places: please take steps to protect yourself!
