Co-op Dance Operators COVID Compliance Support PACK

A general overview of the 2020 (Recreational Structured Partner Dancing) known as RSPD Special Pack:
In early October a revision was put forth by the Approved DPPA Industry Plan authors in relation to “social dance” , this will likely see “social” now be referred to as “RSPD” as a safeguard, to ensure we are distinct from any other form of freestyle/social/dance eg: nightclubs.
The Exclusive RSPD offer is intended to assist with compliance and allow all participants to have a streamlined option to access.

C2 – Some options that were well accepted in the pilot or currently being provided:

DANCE EVENT = The FIFTH Saturday of the month

Discounted Supporter fee goes to your operational costs – the RAFFLE income goes to the Co-ops “Nurture program”
Goodwill – Operators have provided a Discount entry to (4 Ballroom Dance Supporters or members) for the event, requiring bookings to keep numbers manageable.
Dancers have contributed by donating prizes to the usually large rolling raffles.

The Co-op is happy to look over any proposals you have in this regard to sign off on Co-op inclusion – that is inclusive of current or encouraging of new dancers

C3 – VOLUNTEERING

Volunteering – in time and skills in schools or ancillaries via programs, offers a prudent way to increase attendance and inclusion all round:

The Programs have been designed to productively expose the largest volume of people to the craft and facilitate the wide reaching community with highly focused input both “subtle and direct” to allow many participants, both teachers and students to prosper.
You can be part of the “team” coaches providing direction that allows numerous volunteer “teacher-teams” by either attending the school or directing the teaching groups that do attend.

The program inceptions have been likened to the “Ball sports” allowing Qualified instructors access to a vast range of early dancers to “Scout” for talent, encourage attendance of basic dance lessons to extended family members (Mums, Dads, Brothers Sisters Carers etc) to join in the culmination fundraisers etc
Some teachers are offering *scholarships (as part of the 1,2,3 commitment)
*offer X number free lessons to school students, to encourage appropriate up and coming talent,
*offer group discount for school parents, extended family to learn the listed dances prior to the fundraiser
*offer group discount for school families + to sample social dancing (specific dance night with like minded dancers attending to assist)

Dance operator fee for 2020 =  $15 per week, monthly & yearly discounts apply, Fees include the listed benefits above[/content_protector]
