Update 23 Nov 2020: a farewell and a welcome back

​It's an eventful update this one:

1. Farewell to Scott
2. Welcome back

Farewell to Scott
You might recall that our instructor Scott Everard was studying education. Well he now has work at Caulfield Grammar helping out around the school in different places, particularly around the boarding house doing administrative stuff for the heads of boarding. He will also be doing relief teaching. That means it is time to move on from Destine Dance. He was a great recourse for the studio. He had excellent rapport with students - I am sure his private students will miss him - and he brought great expertise on the swing based dances that highlighted his overall dance knowledge and ability. He did say he will also come in from time to time. So as well as wishing him all the best, we look forward to seeing him around in the future.

Welcome Back
And this is the week of our return!
I am very keen to see you back on the dance floor and also simply interested to see what things will be like given the past. The next 4 weeks will be a time of reflection on what things are now like (I have little idea what to expect) to establish plans on what to do next year. It is a very interesting time full of potential and I am glad to be sharing it with you. 
Also, I wanted to remind you of a few things:

1. We will be wearing masks 
2. I know some have already told me that they are fine with group classes, but if you wish to stay with your partner, then that is fine too.
3. There will be a lot more hand washing and sanitising so the vibe might be a little different
4. There will be fewer cases of shared space and we will ask that you leave when your class is done - especially before capoeira (that's an opportunity to separate groups that we will pursue)
5. There might be times when we reach capacity and we need to say you can't join a group class 

No matter what, we will be doing our best to give you the best dance experience you can have.


See you on the dance floor
Clint
