Hello Vermont Swings Community,

Due to the spread of COVID-19 throughout the United States and the diagnosed case in Burlington yesterday, we are suspending all Vermont Swings activities through the end of March. This includes all classes and social dances at the Champlain Club. We will make an announcement by March 28th about our plans for the beginning of April.

We love seeing you at dances and classes. Seeing you brings health to our souls, and dancing with you brings health to our bodies. At the same time, some of us are worried about our personal health and the health of the community at large.  We hope that by acting early we can help “flatten the curve” (http://www.flattenthecurve.com) so we as a community are less likely to overwhelm healthcare resources.  This helps to protect everyone in our community, especially those who are more vulnerable. We hope we are wrong, but we would rather feel silly for overreacting than feel guilty for underreacting. 

Anyone who has paid for a 4-week class series will be refunded for the canceled classes.  Please let your instructor know that you paid for all 4 weeks and we will reimburse you as soon as possible. If you have questions, you can always reach us through our website (http://www.vermontswings.com), on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/vtswings) or at contact@vermontswings.com.

Keep dancing in your living rooms. Here are some videos you can try!

Thank you for your understanding. Stay healthy, and we look forward to dancing with you again soon.

Sincerely,

Your Vermont Swings Board
