Colin's Israeli Dancing in London
Effective immediately until further notice: All Colin's dance classes are cancelled due to the novel Coronavirus Covid-19.
Firstly, thank you for your responses to my question around Covid-19 - I was most impressed with the number of responses to my question and want to thank all of you who communicated and I appreciate you taking the time to set out your thoughts.
To summarise: although a number of this group expressed that they happy to carry on dancing, the overwhelming majority are understandably not comfortable. Several people in the community are self isolating due to contact with the virus, have existing health issues, or an abundance of caution to avoid becoming carriers to protect vulnerable loved ones.
I feel a duty of care towards all of you and therefore wish to do my part to slow the spread of the virus, particularly as people are spreading the virus unknowingly before they begin to show symptoms. In dance classes this is in part due to everyone breathing in the same air in an enclosed space, and sadly aircon doesn't help. Therefore, the right thing to do is to stop all my classes (Mondays, Wednesdays and Retro) until further notice.
It's everyone's responsibility not only to wash hands, but to practise social distancing in order to flatten the coming peak of cases and to help avoid the NHS being overwhelmed. Please read reliable sources for advice: www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ If we have warm weather in the upcoming weeks, then I will consider opening a class outside in the fresh air, preferable in the sun. So that's all folks for now - stay healthy and well, Suzie and I will miss dancing with you.
Colin and Suzie
P.S. Whilst I will miss dancing with you for the duration of this outbreak, I will still be broadcasting my radio show on Radio Harokdim with all our favourite dances

Dancing for the fun of it every Monday (except certain holidays ) for £7 in our wonderful new hall in Finchley, London UK.
If you have been dancing for a while and looking for something a bit different or if you have danced other styles and are quick to follow then this is the class for you.
The class is attended by a wide range of people who have returned to dancing and those who attend other classes
and we do tend to play dances that have been taught at this class,
which does cover a large and growing repertoire mix of the very new, the not so new and the traditional.
The three hours of non stop fun is provided by Colin who is the DJ and teaches.
