Covid regulations
Last update: April 5th, 2022
We are super excited to welcome you all back at the Hep Cat Club in Augsburg and to be able to host the event!
Officially there are no more Covid-Regulations for the event in Bavaria since April 3rd. We discussed the situation and we are dedicated to make the 2022 Augsburg Jazz Rhythms a safe experience for everyone. Everyone should feel as safe and as free as possible. Therefore, the Augsburg Jazz Rhythms 2022 will be a "only tested or boostered" Event.
That means to attend you either
need a current antigen-test with official documentation (!!!no self-test!!!) that is max. 24 hrs old OR PCR test that is max. 48hrs old with official documentation
OR
you are boostered. We still kindly ask you to do a voluntary test before attending, even if you are boostered, since you can still have Covid even if you are vaccinated/recovered but do now show symptoms and can infect others.
Please provide your record at the entrance. We will check it only once when you check in and get your wristbands.
If you get tested positive directly before the event, you will get your money back, by sending us the official result.
You can get an official test at various places. There is a test station with long opening hours (Friday and Saturday until 22.00) right below the studio. Please take the time needed for the test to make it to class on time. If there are no more online dates to register you can also go there and register directly at the test center.
Please contact us at info@hepcatclub.com if you have any questions.
Individual sign-up and rotation in class for dances with partners
For partner dances, you can only sign up with a partner. Currently, rotation in class is possible on voluntary basis.
Evening Social Dance
To attend, you have to be tested or boostered, like described above. You do not have to participate in the Augsburg Jazz Rhythms. However, since spots are limited, please book early to save your spot.
Masks
Masks are not required anymore at the venue. But feel free to wear a mask, if you want to.
Hygiene / air filtration
Please use the desinfectant provided and wash your hands regularly. The air conditioning will be on full level to ensure the repeated exchange of air with air from the outside several times per hour. It might be chilly, so please bring a pullover or scarf just in case. While you may of course put that pullover/scarf on during class, we kindly ask you that you already come to the event dressed in your dancing clothes.
No attendance if sick or in quarantine
You cannot attend if you are sick or in quarantine/isolation.
