Health Policy
Disclaimer: The Hot Rhythm Foundation reserves the right to adjust the Health Policy based on local data and recommendations from Austin Public Health. If local conditions worsen, in regards to COVID-19/new variants, we reserve the right to implement more strict precautions or cancel the event if necessary.
Hot Rhythm Holiday attendees and staff are expected to practice reasonable precautions to protect themselves and others from COVID-19 and other illnesses.
Proof of full vaccination (required)
For the current guidelines and definition of "fully vaccinated", see: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html. Your vaccination card or a picture of your card are both acceptable. Please present your card at check-in. If you wish to request an exemption to our vaccination policy, email us at info@hotrhythmholiday.com. Exemptions are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Masks (strongly recommended)
N95/KN95 masks are recommended for preventing the spread of viruses. It is unknown at this time if we'll need to require masks in February. We will aim to make a final decision around mid-January, post-holiday spikes. Currently, we feel that masking can be optional for this event. As stated above, the Hot Rhythm Foundation reserves the right to change this requirement based on local COVID data and recommendations from Austin Public Health. Hot Rhythm Holiday is a judgement-free zone, and all attendees agree to respect each other's choice to wear a mask or not.
Testing (strongly recommended)
For the safety of our dance community, we encourage everyone attending any multi-day social event to consider a PCR test prior to travel and attendance. We also recommend bringing at-home tests with you to test during the weekend.
General Guidelines
If you are sick, do not attend.
If you become sick during the weekend, do not continue to attend classes and dances. Notify an event organizer of your status.
If you have been in contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19, kindly get a negative test before attending the event.
Free PPE will be available, but please do your part in bringing your own to help keep our costs down.
