26 Jan
With everyone’s health and wellbeing my major concern and therefore being cautious (2 of my halls are not large etc), I have made the decision to postpone classes and will be resuming Friday 11th Feb. Mon 14th Feb, and Tues 15th Feb.Now that the booster shot waiting time has been reduced to 3 months, i feel that the majority of us will have received our booster by then and it’s efficacy will have taken effect. Also, the number of cases will have peaked and continue to drop substantially.
MASKS: Whilst on the floor dancing, it is up to yourself if you are having trouble breathing and it is uncomfortable re wearing a mask or not. Please have it on you and when leaving the floor, entering, exiting, going to amenities and around the hall, sitting, standing off the dancefloor etc please wear a mask.
Unfortunately we have lost our Monday night venue at Springwood. A new community group have taken over the lease and it is unavailable for hire in the future. I will be taking the time (this is always an onerous task) to try and find a new venue for Monday nights. If anyone has any suggestions or know of a hall from say Loganholme up to greenslopes, Mt gravatt, west to sunnybank, or east to Carindale etc please feel free to email me any suggestions. It is always distressing to lose a venue as i love all of my clients and will do my level best to find one that is suitable! N.B. The attachment re venues will still have mon night class details – please ignore!
For Entry into all of my classes and socials/functions in 2022 everyone will need to be at least double vaccinated (unless you have a medical certificate).
Gold coast socials are now in our new venue which is A/C, new times of 10.30am-2.30pm. Helensvale Community Centre, 31-37 Discovery Drive, Helensvale (A/C).

Update 8 aug
PLEASE READ – LONG POST
Hi all At the time of posting nothing has changed in NSW wrt Stay at Home restrictions etc. until the NSW Govt changes it’s “Covid-19 Restrictions Notice”, which still has the 11 LGA’s of QLD listed as “Areas of Concern”. I live in nsw at Pottsville.
No classes in Qld for at least for 2 weeks – unless something changes drastically. I can’t venture into qld for classes – otherwise i am on ‘stay at home’ orders and can’t hold my pottsville class – only one running at the moment – (full mask mandatory) or go anywhere unless completely essential – not even to work?
i have to add a doctorate or masters degree to my degree so that i can understand the new restrictions orders in qld. Are we classed as a community sport, can we dance – who knows? updates have been slow
Not near enough – only about 1/3 to 1/2 people have answered my email re dancing in masks in qld (this is in the future, when things have settled down) -please respond! We are going to have to get used to this – new normal – everyone at pottsville class is wearing masks -(even if it is a NO – please respond anyway). Unless i get a good quota wearing masks in class – the travelling 3 hours each way to brisbane and another hour to cross the border………
Potty class people see below re registering for new session times until end of august
Mask wearing is mandatory in qld (at least in the recent LGAs affected) if you are INDOORS – same as in nsw
Whether you are exercising (strenuous, moderate etc) or not. So, in Qld, if you are going to a class that is not requiring you to wear a mask????? there are no grey areas anymore. I am committed to keeping everyone as safe as possible in my classes and will continue to do so! Taken directly from the qld website – no loopholes now… FACEMASKS “Indoors – You must wear a face mask at all times when you are indoors, including workplaces, even when social distancing is possible, unless: you are at your residence and there is no one else there except people you live with you are eating or drinking you are alone in an office with the door closed it is unsafe to wear a mask If you are an essential worker and you cannot wear a face mask due to a medical condition, you are strongly encouraged to stay at home and not go into your workplace, unless you are fully vaccinated. Remember, if you can work from home, you must work from home.”
QLD CLASSES (Not Pottsville class) PLEASE REPLY – in this format below – unless you have already replied and/or wish to change your mind or let me know if you have a medical exemption
re classes in future when things have settled down Mask: YES or NO Name: Class: eg tues morn at mt gravatt east Sesson/sessions: eg A or B or both AB
Copy and paste in an email – don’t just say yes or no, and please include your name and class (and your roll book number if you remember it – will save me having to search)
If we wish to return to dancing anytime soon, we will just have to become used to taking a break when we need to, popping outside at times and us taking a minute or so between dances

ALL classes cancelled – until after Easter Even gold coast class on wed morn (31mar)
Late yesterday afternoon (mon 29th) I had a covid test (because i have been in greater brisbane area at times since mar 20).
Of course i am erring on the side of caution, but thought that as i am a teacher and conduct classes, it was the responsible thing to do.
Please get tested!!
Stay safe everyone – and hope that the lockdown will clamp the lid on it all.
See you all after Easter

JULY 8:
Long Post – please read re class start dates and info
FANTASTIC NEWS – WE ARE BACK!
After many weeks of planning and getting hall approvals and Covid plans in place! YAYYY!
FRIDAY AM JULY 10
MON AM JULY 13
TUES AM JULY 14
WED AM JULY 15
MON PM CLASS START DATE IS NOT UNTIL 20 JULY
I will have to split some lessons (mon pm, tues am) into 1 hour (beginners) and 2 hours (improv/early interim/interm and upper interm). These dance spaces under 200sqm we can have 2sqm per dancer (max 50 in venue) but still have to allow for walkways to toilet and exits and front reception table etc. For eg Mon pm will be max of 40 per session, Tues am 50 per session.
NSW – Pottsville hall will have 2 sessions as we can still only have 20 max at a time
Gold coast classes are as normal with the 4sqm rule – but still have to adhere to a maximum allowed in the venue
Attendance at every class is prebooked and if you can’t attend (have registered and given me dates monthly) class please give me 48 hours notice so i can notify others who have missed out and can attend in your place. Please don’t leave it to the last minute -others will miss out. This is not fair to others or myself
I am working on separate group emails for each class so as i can let you know if there are any spaces in that particular class – please give me plenty of notice for non attendance
Below is info on each individual class. Am asking for commitment for dates as you can’t just turn up/walk in (max numbers in each session/class and attendance records are required by law for each hall)
you can always let me know at a future date if you can’t attend that date
FIRST time that you attend please arrive promptly (start of your session/class) so as to help things run smoothly
there is a little bit of info i need to let you know at start of each class/session etc re these unprecedented times
ALSO
There are many requirements for cleaning after our classes (required by law) and am sure that you will offer any help you can to this communal process.
Those who have already preregistered will have 1st option on class attendance
But, if you haven’t already emailed me, please do so now to be able to take up any spaces left. See below
Name
Class
mobile
address (needed for gold coast classes)
Session (if required for class that you attend) attendance dates
eg Fri 10 july – A (for register to attend)
Fri 17 july
Fri 24 July
etc
Remember:
*Arrive promptly (5-10 mins early at start of each class/session) but don’t congregate and observe social distancing. This is only fair on ladies on door so as not to have to take gloves on and off during session to mark your attendance/money.
*Please bring the correct money and place on table. (Don’t ask for change etc). Bring your own pen in case you need to fill a form out.
*Make sure that you have plenty of water and spare, as kitchens will be closed and not available
* Please don’t come to class if you are feeling unwell. If you have been ill, returned from overseas travel or been in contact with anyone with Covid-19 symptoms in the 14 days prior to class, please do not attend.
* Hand soap, paper towel and hand sanitizer will be provided, however please feel free to use your own hand sanitizer.
* You are encouraged to use your own rest room facilities at home rather than at the Hall All of the halls will only have one restroom available – the Ladies room – regardless of gender – please use facilities only one person at at time (please don’t use gents, disabled)

* Please refrain from any physical greetings upon arrival or on departure from class.
* You are encouraged not to use the chairs at the Hall, however, if you require a chair for any period of time, obtain one yourself. You will be required to clean with sanitiser (PROVIDED) after your use and return your own chair to utility room .

hi all

During the last month i have been in constant contact with all of our halls.
They all have differing requirements depending on size and how they are managed – council, community etc, QLD or NSW etc.
I will have to split some lessons into 2
There are many requirements for cleaning after our classes (required by law) and am sure that you will all lend a hand to this communal process.
I know that you are all wanting to resume classes and rest in the knowledge that i will have your help in making the classes and halls adhere to the covid safe restrictions and guidelines re cleaning, mopping and disinfecting.
I am in the process of working out how and when we can return to class and need your help re below. I need to know who is coming to class and how many?? as space restrictions will apply – can’t just turn up or walk in etc
Hopefully you are all receiving my updates via email, facebook and website. But so I have not missed anyone?? Haven’t heard back from quite a few of you etc – please read below.

ALSO
There is no dance challenge this week
i have meticulously walked thru and danced all of the dances in the last 4-5 months of classes as well as many more blasts from the past
Great way to keep in touch is to join our facebook group page- Unless the qld border is opened on or before June 30, the Potty weekend is in jeopardy.The hall is plenty big enough (for up to 60-70 etc) but number restrictions need to be eased as well as the border issue.Oct Perso is looking promising though!
Cheers and stay well and safe X
Does anyone own these please? Chucking them at end of June if not claimed

I’m keeping on top of the stages,rules and regulations for the Corona virus
I would love to start back right now but it’s going to take a bit more time, my venues are still closed. I’ve missed you all so much and I will send out more information as it comes to me on a starting date for my classes
You never know?? Potty weekend may go ahead if borders are opened and the number restrictions are lifted – YAY!
Am also working on an Aug perso (to replace march) if borders are opened and number restrictions are lifted
Week 9 Step sheet challenge I have decided for the next 4 weeks we will be doing some recently taught dances, so that we can be a little prepared on our return! This week the dances revised will be Beginner dance – Bootscootin Boogie Improver – Down at the Honky tonk Lower Intermediate – No Matter What Upper Intermediate – Blurred Lines Check out week 8 playlist on youtube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ-mXMELDYxwW7rCpNVB73VCckYm7SSIW And my website – dallaslinedancers.com
Am sorry for taking so much time to get back to everyone – Over the past week or so i have been trying to make our return to classes in early/mid june viable. I really do appreciate the time and effort that it took you all to email me back with our preferred class and personal info (over 600 emails and lots of time spent in making a spreadsheet etc)
I am very blessed that i have you all in my life – trying to help me/us return
But unfortunately, even with all of my forward planning, i am at the mercy of the halls as they are ruled in a lot of cases by the government to reopen with restrictions and a health plan (re covid) in place.Some halls are council, community associations, church or other associations and (some in different states) they all seem to have different requirements and timetables.So bearing that in mind i am unable to start classes again at this time, but as soon as i have some notification will let you all know
I am still hoping to have our Pottsville dance weekend on the 10-12 july!! if the border is opened in time and number restrictions are lifted
I have decided for the next 4 weeks we will be doing some recently taught dances, so that we can be a little prepared on our return!
This week the dances revised will be
Beginner dance – Midnight waltz
Improver/Early intermediate – Half past tipsy
Intermediate – Good at tonight
Upper Intermediate –May i have this dance
Hopefully we will be back in time for a mid/late winter perso – working on a date – hopeful harry!
Great way to keep in touch is to join our facebook group or if you aren’t receiving update emails please pm me or emailme page- https://www.facebook.com/groups/406323476066187/ LOVE TO ALL AND PLEASE COME BACK TO MY CLASSES, SOCIALS AND EVENTS X

It is with much sadness that i am letting everyone know that our beloved Carole Stirlng (tues morn) passed away this morning. The most gentle, kind (and sometimes mischievous) soul and loving lady you would ever find!! Please pass this devastating news on to our friends.
Carole Stirling’s family have asked for photos of her – dancing, trips, partiesplease email (only) them to me
Learning or revising a dance off a sheet is a real brain exercise (vastly increasing our retention of that dance) and great physical exercise as well – it will take time and practice, but we line dancers love a challenge! Every 2nd week i will be walking thru some dances recently taught in class (one for each level of dancer). Please email me with suggestions. Each week tonight(Monday night) i will attach some step sheets to learn – see files section
Beginner dance = stray cat strut Improv/Early Interm = Hillbilly Rock, Hillbilly Roll. Choreographer – rob and lorraine gent Lower Interm = Never Let Me Go. Choreographer – debbie greaves Intermediate = Country Boy. Choreographer – Red Hot and Country Line Dancing and DJ Services Upper Intermediate = Best Day. Choreographer – @stephen paterson
Each week (Monday night) i will attach some step sheets to learn. Over the weekend, I will post a video of each dance, and you can dance along with me!! They will be mainly older dances/classics usually without any YOU TUBE TUTORIALS (good luck to you though if you can find one)!!!
Great fun!!! Meanwhile seeing how you went in understanding the sheets
also attached will be an index of step definitions
any suggestions for following weeks please email me -although they must not have a tutorial online to be eligible
LOVE TO ALL AND PLEASE COME BACK TO MY CLASSES, SOCIALS AND EVENTS – when i am able to resume teaching again X
