Burn the Floor

Coronavirus Update & Social Dance Hygiene Tips At this point, there are no plans to cancel the DYOS weekly dance. That may change very quickly, so please keep ...checking this page. If you feel under the weather, are at a higher risk for respiratory illness, or are going to be in close contact with somebody who is at a higher risk for respiratory illness, please stay home. ***If you (or someone you’ve been in contact with in the last 14 days) tests positive for coronavirus, and you’ve attended DYOS in the last 2-3 weeks, email Michelle at [email protected] immediately*** If you have purchased a series package for March and choose to stay home for health reasons, please email Michelle at [email protected]. You can either: -Receive a $10 credit towards the April class series for every week you need to stay home -Receive a video notebook of the class material With the exception of the free beginner class, lesson material will continue to be hands free/independent movement. If you attend DYOS, please wash your hands as soon as you arrive. If you choose to social dance, try to alternate songs on and off the dance floor so that you can wash or sanitize your hands for at least 20 seconds between dances. If you cough, cough into your elbow to contain the spray. Wear short sleeves so that if you cough into your elbow, you can wash/sanitize your elbow. I encourage you to leave class for a moment to do so. DO NOT leave used tissues or paper towels lying on the tables or counters. Throw them into a trash can. Bring your own water bottle. I will be sanitizing the water cooler throughout the night, but I also recommend filling your bottle at home before you arrive. I will be regularly walking around the studio with disinfectant wipes to wipe down the hard table and counter surfaces. I have not been able to find any hand sanitizer on sale, so if you have your own supply, please bring it with you. On a personal note, it is so hard to know exactly what to do. I care a lot about each of the humans who come to DYOS. I hope you’ll all take good care of yourselves and be mindful about choosing to participate. I know many of us come to DYOS for a dose of joy and human connection. I’d like to keep that resource available to you as long as it doesn’t seem reckless or irresponsible. If you have any comments or concerns, I’d love to hear them. M

Burn The Floor Community, We are very excited to be able to bring you amazing instructors and dancers to BTF every month. We are constantly listening and finding ways to make your experience the best we can. With that being said, you might have noticed last month we started leveling the lessons we offer. Currently we have a Level 1 and Level 2 available before the social dance. ... ((We also have an intro class, but that's pretty self explanatory.)) What does this mean? Level 1: (Novice to Intermediate) Is tailored for dancers who already have some WCS experience or points. To take this class you should be confident in your basic patterns, be able to do them solo (without a leader), and dance them on time. Level 1: Is designed to offer you more patterns, more moves, and to expand your dance vocabulary for WCS. Level 2: (Intermediate to Advanced) Is tailored for dancers who are confident in more complex patterns and have intermediate or advanced points. To take this class you should already be dancing beyond the basic patterns. Level 2: Is designed to offer you more advanced technique. For example: musicality (phrase changes and beyond), frame and connection (double resistance, resist and release), and flare (spins, dips, and so on...) Why have we leveled our lessons? Because you ask for it! ;) Often at dance, when an out of town instructor comes in, they have to teach the majority in the room. Or who shows up to class. This can lead to two classes geared for two different levels to both cater to the less experienced dancers. Resulting in two beginning lessons. We want to be sure to offer classes to dancers of all levels! Including our more advanced dancers, who are often left out. Also by leveling our classes, we make sure our often Champion level instructors are able to teach more advanced concepts and technique, rather than just beginning information you can receive from local instructors. So with this all said, we encourage you to be honest with where you are at in your dance journey, and honor the fellow dancers around you. We will NOT be looking up points, for now we will be running on an honor system only. Also we encourage you to push yourself as well. This change is by no means to discourage you from learning or pushing past your comfort zone. If you feel you are truly ready for Level 2, then give it a go! :D Also, if you are unsure, you can take the Level 1 and after ask the instructor if they feel you are ready for Level 2. Thank you so much for all your support for BTF and for showing up every month to share the passion and love for WCS. Our community is growing strong, lets keep up the great nights of dancing! <3, Burn the Floor (Stacey & Elizabeth)

July keeps getting better Westies! We hope you had a wonderful weekend. Whether you were at Phoenix 4th of July or Wild Wild Westie, or just enjoying the weekend with your family...we are thrilled to be bringing you a great night of dancing this month! Courtney and Sean are coming to Sacramento! ... If you haven’t been to Burn The Floor before then this is the one to put on your calendar. When we started BTF, our goal was to connect dancers from Chico, Sacramento, and The Bay. For us, we saw BTF as being a bridge allowing Chico dancers and Bay Area dancers to have a place other than a convention or a 3 hour drive one way, to get to dance with one another. So we’ll see you July 27th (the fourth Saturday). It’s gonna be a great night!

Don’t forget to book your private lessons with Sean and Courtney for next month’s dance!
