I'm currently only dancing at private lessons.

I have been dancing remotely and dancing at outdoor venues when possible. Unfortunately I have chronic conditions and have allergies so I have been advised to wait on a vaccine. I have recovered and get tested weekly for work so I continue to take precautions.

The studios I have been to require proof of vaccination and masks.....

I’m still dancing whenever I feel comfortable who I dance with. Dancing at least every other week for now

I avoid take classes where you change partners and I am searching for a partner who is reasonably careful, this way I hope to still take lessons and enjoy dancing .

I'm still dancing

Both Moderna shots + Booster + Masking

Vaxed and masked.

Dance with my teacher and long term partner who is equally cautious. No parties

I am only dancing just now with my instructor

I'm wearing my mask to dance and not dancing with lots of different people, it's not great but I want to minimize the risk of infection again

Fully vaccinated but still wear mask as a precaution.

All the jabs and twice weekly lateral flows and back to fully enjoying dance

I just moved to FL from NH. There was no partner dancing at all there. I was so happy to see there are classes here. I know singles are welcome but a dedicated partner is recommended. I understand that and wish to comply. I'm here to find a compatible partner who has the same passion for dancing as I do.

I had to give up dancing at the competitive level, as I have not been able to find any competition opportunities where I now live. I am taking a basic/beginner level dance class once a week, as this is also the only thing I have been able to find that works/is remotely similar to the type of latin dance I am accustomed to. I wish I had a steady partner that was willing to keep practicing with me, although I am not and have no intention on being vaccinated any time soon. I have plenty of natural immunity, and antibodies, as well as an immune system that I take care of more than most, daily vitamins, supplements, and fitness regiment, as well as wearing my mask regularly is more than enough protection for myself, I think, but knock on wood, right?

In not jive dancing till I've hsdvmy booster any time now but happy to practice ballroom with 1 nominated vaccinated partner

Do not plan to go back dancing until things settle down more,maybe once I get my booster or if I find a regular partner who has been double jabbed.I have been double jabbed & going for my booster on 18th November.

I really want the dances to open again but won't attend any until everyone gets the "all clear".

I am still dancing by MY SELF!

More cautious about venues and who i dance with.

Currently taking classes at just dance ballroom.

No reason to stop

I currently interested in learning Argentine Tango but need a permanent partner.

Fully vaccinated

For a long time during covid-19 dancing was restricted to outdoor dancing or zoom only. Currently attending about 4 social dances/week, abiding with whatever precautions are dictated by the organisers.

I'm fully vaccinated so I feel safe not to wear a mask.

I'm fully vaccinated so I feel safe not to wear a mask.

Fully vaccinated, recently moved to Tampa, FL, and would love to get back into dancing.

Shadow dancing daily. Especially CEROC,Slow FOXTROT,Partnered Line.Smokey Places and Flamenco. Double Vaccinated thus providing a very high level of protection to unvaccinated DANCERS.

Fully vaccinated, back on the floor.

For now, being fully vaccinated I feel pretty safe in lessons and at social dances without a mask. Very appreciative of the thoughtful way the dance community has incorporated vaccine verification into event sign-ups.

I go for a 6km (4 metric miles) salsa walk every day which means I walk to the beat of salsa music namely Africando Mario using a mobile phone app which reduces the tempo by 68% for 130 steps per minute. I record my progress using the MapMyWalk app. On 10 July 2021 I completed my 483rd day of salsa walking in a total time of 56 minutes and am very much looking forward to 19th July when I will be happy to dance with anybody anywhere in any circumstances!

I have one to one with a dance teacher no holding and believe me as a male dancer it makes you aware of posture,body shaping etc.

I don't believe it

I’ve started dancing recently, using all precautions.

I love the vaccination status feature on DancePartner.com. Thank you!

Have not danced for over 18 months, but am about to restart, but only in small provate dance groups and all attendees must have had both vaccination jabs

Of those respondents who have elected to take a break during the covid siege, do any of you think there is a general sense that social dancing will or not be affected for some time to come  especially with the rise in variants ?

I'm dancing, but only within small groups that I trust and where most are vaccinated.

I'm fully vaccinated and just started dancing again. I'm not using precautions when I dance, but I am when I go shopping.

Practising by myself, working on flexibility and general fitness.

Fully vaccinated, using mask and hand sanitizer as precautions.

Fully vacinated and dancing outdoors in Wemyss Bay and Rothesay

I'm about to get my second shot tomorrow, but will continue using precautions until we are in a vastly improved situation.  I'm trying to view mask-wearing while dancing as an endurance training opportunity - cheaper than training in Utah!

Fully vaccinated and teaching dance

I... can't.... wait!!!! I have been on a break but now my family is fully vaccinated, Bring on the fun!

Mask on & lots of hand sanitizer! Can't wait till things get back to normal!

I miss dancing!

infection control is essential not fear.

Private lessons with mask and group lessons with no partners and social distancing.

Taking private lesson only.....

May locate a Partner and dance exclusively, with precautions.

I have had both Pfizer vaccinations and it has been well over 21 days. I am feeling healthy and relieved.

Keeping the number of people I come in close contact with very limited. I've likely already had COVID back in late March 2020 when it was hard to get tested unless you were in really bad shape. I've also had the first of 2 vaccine shots. Looking forward to being fully vaccinated.

I'm  dancing again in a class just outside Plymouth and hoping to attend Plymouth monthly tea dances at the Guildhall in the City centre.   

Busy seaching for young talent by training young people from my community

Also, I’m fully vaccinated.

Still dancing...

Been taking private lessons and trying to remember the things I learned my first year of dancing. Covid shut down was right at the beginning of what would have been my 2nd year.

I only wear a mask when I absolutely have to and I will not be getting the gene modification treatment that does absolutely nothing to prevent the China virus nor keep you from infecting others if you have it.

DancePartner Comment

After the recommended 2 doses and 2-week waiting period, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been shown to be 95% effective against contracting Covid-19, and 100% effective against hospitalization and death from the virus. Current studies show that a vaccinated person is 75% less likely to spread the virus.

I’m training with my dancing partner and attend small meetings of dancers

Both Moderna shots + Booster + Masking

I attend balls different places travel all over NSW wish to have a regular dancepartner to enjoy venues with me

Using masks when necessary and still training hard!

Due to my volunteer work, I'm fully vaccinated.

Only interested in doing rounds International Latin!

I’m vaccinated and ready to dance with a partner who has been vaccinated!

I'm vaccinated. Compliant with all covid protocols. Looking for a practice partner. I have a small floor space we can dance on in my home. Cannot wait!! Have danced a lot at home and outside 6’ apart. Been studying private flamenco classes during the plague as I love it and it literally keeps me on my toes, keeps my dance spirit up, strengthening and good for technique in general as it is so complex.

Can't wait until we are all immunized.

I have received both doses of the Moderna vaccine and the booster!

Due to living alone and not having a designated dance partner I have not been dancing for almost a year. I am now seeking a private dance partner rather than continue to wait for social dance to start up again.

I’m taking private dance lesson in a dance studio . Since day 1 of pandemic I’ve been practicing at home .

I love dancing! I’ve dancing at home by myself, staying active and happy!

My answer isn't given as an option.
I'm beyond ready for this COVID conspiracy to be over because no one else seems to want to dance in person.

Would be dancing if I could find a partner who dances only with me.

I feel safe with covid if all precautions taken.

I know several who kept dancing without precautions and got wicked sick. Not me. Not willing to risk permanent lung damage or worse.

It’s hard to believe it’s been more than a year since COVID
halted social dance. I’ve missed dancing more than anything else and I’m sooo
ready to make up for lost time!

would continue if I had a partner but using safety precautions are important to me. I have only been practicing by myself in the mean time.

I have been choosing venues that require vaccinations since September. I am in the medical field and am trying not to pass it to a immuno-compromised patient or other people who may become very sick or die. I also feel strong that we all have to do what we can to end this pandemic. If not vaccinated I believe a person should be wearing a mask in a close public setting out of pure and simple caring for someone outside of yourself.  As time goes on and the variants continue to loose their potency ( hopefully). I will re-evaluate and make choices accordingly. Thanks for reading!! ;)

I limit my dance partners and usually do not change partners at a group lesson or at a dance.

got the vaccine last month, I'm back in with precautions

Still dancing in private studio having private lessons.

I would continue dancing if I had one partner to practice and dance with. I don't want to switch partners in a social setting.

I do what I always did, clean my hands, which is proven effective. As a man and as a lead, I always respect what my partner withholds. But myself am an athlete, and I will not dance nor live without oxygen. If I hid from life, merely because I were afraid of death, I would be irresolute as a man,
and a puny tango.

Not doing any dance socials, I would if I had just 1 partner to dance multiple dances no switching. Still taking private lessons but we both wash our hands, do a temperature check and wear mask. I get covid tested before and after my lessons to help make me feel better about it cause its still a bit scary

I’m fully vaccinated and am dancing again

I danced a few of times over the summer and fall at outside events. Don't feel comfortable just yet. With restrictions being eased, I may venture out, but will definitely be taking precautions.

Am taking Private Lesson. Would be willing to have ONE practice partner that could do several dances with. I'm good with one partner as long as we are both being cautious in our private lives.

I take on line lessons (KOROS app) and practice regularly at home. I can't wait to dance at studio with a partner. Happy dancing! Stay safe

Unfortunately I don't have a dp atm

Learning some Lindy solo dances.. dying to be led by a human soon!

I started lessons!

Can't wait to get back to dancing!

Just practicing shines until people wish to dance again. Im ready! Are you?

Just being careful recording where I have been etc.

Will always be dancing!

I would still be dancing if the current restrictions did not make that impossible

I'd love a dance partner, Argentine tango. Even though I had Coronavirus months ago I would still wear a mask.

Both vaccine + booster.

I refuse to dance with anyone being muzzled. .

I always practice dance. Keep my immune system strong. And follow current regulations.

i've been lucky enough to have a teacher quarantine to join my pod. And now I'd love to find a partner to quarantine and join my pod.

I am still dancing at home alone just to be prepared after lock down.

Not by choice.

Zoom classes for ballroom and Argentine Tango are keeping me going!

Dancing in a local studio and taking precautions. We wear masks and one of us wears gloves. Not ideal but allows us to dance and practice safely.

There are no dance opportunities here local. The Governor has shut all public dance venues, and most restaurants down tight. I am getting real tired of this isolation. There is some dancing across the border around Vancouver, Canada, but, the borders shut tight too, Bad deal.

Taking classes as locally allowed (in Germany, federal state Baden-Württemberg)) in special settings with keeping distance, no exchange of partners. No social dancing allowed anyway, but practice evenings with only 10 couples (Argentine tango!), sometimes each dancing in their own square. During the new in-part lockdown since November all dancing schools closed, but one can hire all the room for one couple for an hour or more. Dancing and practising there and mostly at home with dance partners, strictly limiting to one dance partner and from time to time dancing with some other with awareness to Covid-19.

I have a personally designed mask holder which is a plastic form supporting N95 so it doesn't collapse when you take a deep breath! When used with coffee filter to absorb sweat and exhaled moisture to preserve N95 which is reusable!

I have my own small studio which is also my office at home. It is sufficient for 4 people comfortably depending on the routine. I have 4 people in my group who rehearse and perform with me in small local community dance events.

I did a few dances in the past 2 months with one partner. Masks and precautions were followed. Felt pretty safe . Looking to find a practice/dance partner willing to use precautions to take lessons with and attend dances in a safe environment.

We have several places we dance socially outside - I wear a mask always.

Unfortunately I will have to avoid dance classes until Covid19 is over. But I'm open to learning dance routines over webcam, until we could take dance classes together.

Not social dancing much, but taking a few lessons with precautions. Socializing with dance friends to stay together. We all miss dancing.
