As a not-for-profit community group, Thursday Nite Swing-In is deeply committed to the safety and security of its participants and the facilities we use. The volunteer organizers ask that you adhere to the following policies to help keep everyone safe.

Health Safety Policy

Social dancing is a high-risk activity. Please do not attend if you are feeling sick or have been in contact with someone who has been sick. Swing-In must adhere to any safety requirements of our host facility, St. Thomas Episcopal Church. Policies may be modified if conditions require.

General Health Standards

• If you are feeling sick or have been in contact with someone who has been sick, please stay home

• Wash your hands upon arrival, and frequently throughout the event. Hand sanitizer will be provided

• Masks are optional, but are available if desired

Vaccination

• Up-to-date vaccinations for influenza and COVID are recommended, but not required

Food & Beverages

• Swing-In will provide free water; you are encouraged to bring your own beverages to ensure healthy hydration

Facility Security & Event Policy

As a renter of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Swing-In is required to follow the facility’s security & event policy.

Exterior Door Security

• All exterior doors must remain closed & locked at all times

• Swing-In attendees should use the front door only

Using the Access Code

• Swing-In participants may use the dedicated Swing-In access code on the security panel at the front door

  • The code is provided to Swing-In participants at the dances; watch for updates, as the number may occasionally change

  • Enter the 4-digit number, followed by the “#”

  • The code is only valid during scheduled Thursday Swing-In events, beginning 15 minutes before the start-time, until the end-time

Without the Access Code: Doorbell

• If you do not have the Swing-In code, you are invited to ring the Swing-In Doorbell

• The doorbell will signal organizers in the room; someone will come downstairs to let you in – please be patient!

General Guidance

• Swing-In participants should restrict their access to the Great Hall, restrooms and hallways; the rest of the facility is off limits

• Every effort should be made to keep the hallway carpets and wooden dancefloor clean and dry

  • No boots or wet shoes are permitted on the carpet or dance floor; no shoe powder or chalk allowed

  • Please leave coats, umbrellas, and outside shoes in the hallway coat area

  • Bringing dry shoes specifically for dancing is a great option

• Please limit use of perfumes and colognes, as some guests may be allergic

• Alcohol is not permitted on the premises
