AUSTIN FRIDAY NIGHT REFRESH: A WEST COAST SWING DANCE HOSTED BY CHRIS BROWN

Please contact Chris Brown if you have any questions.

Social dancing starts at 8:30pm and goes until 1am.

What is Austin's Friday Night Refresh?
This is a West Coast Swing social that aims to help you unwind from the week, spend time with great people, and put that dance bug back in action!

It is a place for all dancers whether they are new to the dance, have had years of experience, are feeling social or just can’t stay away from the dance floor.

Why: We want to get Austin dancing again!! The COVID-19 pandemic really put a damper on our dance community's social dance opportunities. Now that a good number of us are fully vaccinated and the COVID-19 infection rates are coming down (we're almost down to stage 2 again!), we want to provide a social experience that leaves you feeling excited about dancing.

COVID-19 Protocols:
While the COVID-19 situation is getting better and a lot of us probably have the vaccination already, it is still a present concern. With that in mind, we will be implementing:

  • Mandatory face masks: All patrons must at all times wear a face mask properly (it must cover your mouth, nose, and chin properly) that adhere to CDC guidelines (https://www.cdc.gov/.../prevent.../about-face-coverings.html)

  • Temperature checks at the door: We do plan on checking temperatures at the door. This is a measure that (based on recent surveys) will make our fellow dancers feel safer and more comfortable.

  • Hand Sanitizer: There will be plenty of hand sanitizer available and patrons are encouraged to make use of this.

  • Full Floor use: We plan to make use of the entire floor area so there should be plenty of room to maintain social distancing to your comfort level.

As one last point on this subject, if you aren't feeling well, we do ask that you stay home and get healthy. We will miss seeing you, but we care about your health and the health of all of our patrons too!

Cost: $12 entry at the door.
Please bring a debit or credit card as this is the preferred payment method.
