  • Where I stand: I am pro-vax, with all possible shots and boosters taken! I caught COVID for the first time July 2023 and it knocked me out HARD. As an individual who struggles with chronic illness, getting sick means a longer recovery than some and I thank you for your grace and understanding as we continue to navigate this virus 😫 At this time, masking and vaccination for participants will remain optional, but strongly recommended.

    What I ask: Remain flexible, roll with me, stay home if you feel sick - especially if you have a fever - and mask up if you’re feeling that icky throat or stuffy nose feeling. 🙏🏼
    … I also will be the first to say that dancing + teaching in a sweaty, sticky mask sucks. It just does. And, at the same time, ya girl needs to prioritize her health.

    THANK YOU for understanding and respecting these requests. I appreciate you so much!
