Flooring and Footwear:
The hall has a linoleum over wood flooring. With the natural give of the floor it is the perfect surface for dancing and exercise classes.
- To protect this floor we ask that people, if possible, change into indoor shoes before entering the main Hall area. If this is not possible then please check your shoe treads for rocks and to ensure they are clean.
- Stilettos, high heels or tap shoes are discouraged to prevent damage to the flooring and other dancers' feet.
Mavericks Photography Policy
- No flash photography!
- All photographs and videos of people are by explicit agreement with a photographer:
- If you would like your photo taken, either individually or in a group, talk to the photographer about having it taken in the designated area.
- If a full square of dancers want action shots, pre-arrange to have them taken at the back of the hall so other dancers aren’t included by accident.
- If you would like your photo taken, either individually or in a group, talk to the photographer about having it taken in the designated area.
No Scents, Please!
Please be kind and come to our events scent free!
