As these guidelines are constantly changing, we will send out a email with the appropriate safety precautions that we will take while attending class. Although some people may feel that it is not typical to restart a program with all the aspects that have affected us during this pandemic, Veterans have been fighting a battle on two fronts. Of course, there is COVID, which has affected us all in one way or another. But there is something in addition, veterans and first responders face detrimental that is plaguing our community... social isolation. This can severely and negatively affect those experiencing PTSD, anxiety and other health concerns such as depression which is prevalent within our community. To ensure we do not continue losing our brothers and sisters on both fronts, and as the vaccine has begun to do its job, we feel it is our responsibility as a veteran organization to reopen our program and provide those we serve with a place to safely decompress, socialize and re connect to the camaraderie that we once felt while in service. I want to assure you that we have and will take all the precautionary measures in all aspects to create a safe and fun environment for our members. We follow the guidelines suggested to us by the appropriate authorities at that time and will email you with the latest guidelines 2 days prior to the class. We look forward to seeing you on the dancefloor.
