Announcements and Reminders

Covid-19 policy reminders:
Vaccination is still encouraged but not required. It will be up to the discretion of the instructor whether masks must be worn during classes, so please continue to bring masks with you to class (and social dancing to respect the wishes of those who would prefer to dance with masked partners).

Pricing of 802 Westie Events:
Our events operate on a suggested donation model rather than a fixed cost. If you are feeling generous and have the ability to give more, that allows others to give less while still ensuring we cover costs. Thank you for continuing to support 802 Westie Collective and our mission to provide classes and social dancing to the community! (Note that we are now using Square rather than Venmo, so remember to bring your wallet.)
