Zouk Connect NYC

Hi guys!

We currently have a few zoukers already volunteering here thanks to Ms Georgia Desmond.

In case anyone is free to join, there is a program that prepares and delivers food for people who are immunocompromised and can’t leave home right now. They are really desperate for volunteers, do a good job of enforcing social distancing inside, and it’s a really important cause right now. So, if you’re bored or feeling cabin feverish you should definitely join... See you there!

God's Love We Deliver Help us make deliveries to our client's home using your own car. We will send you will 5-7 stops to a Manhattan neighborhood to deliver meals to our client's. 

At Zouk Connect NYC, we strive to create a safe space for our community and dancers.

In the interest of your safety and the safety of those around you, please refrain from attending social events if:

- "You have any flu-like symptoms, including fever, cough, or difficulty breathing

- "You returned from travel in the last 3 weeks that has had sustained local transmission (not just a travel ban/warning).

- "You have had close physical contact with a person currently under investigation for COVID-19, or whom is a confirmed case of COVID-19

We will be issuing full refunds if anyone feels ill and cannot make the event. Kindly note that we have the right to refuse anyone that appears ill or has a fever.

"If you are healthy and do attend a social or event, please wash, wash, wash your hands. If alcohol-based hand sanitizer of at least 60% alcohol content is unavailable to you, please wash your hands with soap and water for a minimum 20 seconds (long enough to sing “Happy Birthday” to yourself twice) as frequently as possible. Avoid touching your face and avoid touching other people’s faces."

Thank you to our friends at The Dancing Grapevine for the excellent article.

Always good to use an over-abundance of caution!

Howdy guys.

Just want to take a moment to thank our friends at Ballroom Hub for letting us use their space and being so helpful and flexible at all of our Zouk Connect NYC events.
