You can repeat the movement motifs we worked on in class or work on something from your everyday life or a dance sport form you like. If you have a contact improvisation partner you are attending with you can do contact improvisation inspired by the axis syllabus.

Thomas Publisher, as well as blog and academic writing). She has a Master’s in Expressive Arts with a minor in Psychology. She has a passion for functional movement and is a teacher candidate for the Axis Syllabus.

COVID PRE-SCREENING QUESTIONS:
Do you agree to bring proof of vaccination status to each class?
Do you agree to disinfect your hands at the start of class or after touching your face?
Are you experiencing any of the following COVID-19 symptoms: shortness of breath/breathing difficulties, fever, coughing, loss of smell or taste, sore throat, headache, muscle pain, chills? If so please seek medical attention and you must not attend the class. We will give you a refund if you have already paid.

Have you returned from traveling outside of Canada in the last 14 days? If please so you must not attend the class until 10 days symptom-free have passed or until you have had a negative COVID test result performed three days after arriving home.
Do you agree to the following notification policy: If someone at the class reports having COVID and having attended a class we will let all attendees know without giving out the person's name. Then everyone would get tested or do 14 days of quarantine and if there is deemed to be no spread things would continue as per usual. At the point of spread we would call up public health and they would let us know all the things we would need to do but most definitely if we are at the point of spread in class we would be shut down for a period of time.
Do you agree to wear a mask and keep a minimum of 6 feet between yourself and those not in your household or social bubbles/pods in the building and during class time as per Ontario Phase #3 Teaching and Instruction Sector regulations?
Do you agree that participants can make contact in the lab portion of the evening as per Ontario Phase #3 Sport Sector regulations that allow for contact if actively practicing your sport requires you to do so?
Do you agree to give us contact info in case contact tracing is needed?
Do you understand that even though vaccination provides some protection from catching COVID and a much-reduced risk of ending up in the ICU that vaccinated people can still catch and spread COVID and may still require medical care if they catch it?
Do you recognize that despite these screening, disinfecting, mask-wearing, protocols there is still some risk in meeting socially indoor to practice? Do you accept this risk as part of your participation?
