- Please do a covid test on the Sunday night or Monday morning. We're doing this totally on trust, so don't expect photos or anything, but if you have a positive test obviously don't come. Similarly, if you're not well, please don't come along.
- Find your shoes!
- Remember the dance (if you dance at no.1 please think about calling):

Tower Ravens are London's all-female rapper sword dance team. The Jubilee dance was written by the team and comprises traditional and recently-invented figures.www.youtube.com
- Westerhope This is on our facebook page but when I share it from here it puts it in...I think Punjabi? Which is a bit confusing. If someone has a good link please share!

- If you can't come, or generally aren't planning to come back for a while, please let me know.
At practice
- We'll start at 7.30 (I'm not attempting to make our brains remember clog yet). We will start with stepping and see how we get on. There will be swords but there will be no pressure to dance in a set unless you are happy to do so.
- You will not be expected to wear facemasks, but please feel free to do so.
- I don't need to say this because I know how lovely you all are, but please respect other people throughout practice. Some people will want to leap into hugs and dancing, others will want a bit of space and will just stick to a bit of stepping.
- I 100% expect us to end up in the pub, depending how we're feeling I suspect this will happen sooner or later in the evening!
Love to all, I can't wait to see you in real life!
Becky
p.s. I suspect at some point in the coming weeks I will get something wrong (I've never had to run practice in pandemic circumstances before!).
Please push back if I do anything to make you feel uncomfortable or if you're just starting to feel a bit overwhelmed and want a bit of time out. There is no right answer atm.
