BEAM All Abilities All Inclusive Movement to Music

After much consideration, and with very heavy hearts, the BEAM Team have decided to follow their individual dreams and careers.

Unfortunately this means that BEAM will cease to be.

We thank each and everyone of you who have Believed in us, Empowered us to be our best, shown what true Acceptance is and allowed for Meaningful opportunities and relationships to be forged.

In true BEAM style, there will be a big farewell party for all past and present participants, families and carers to share together on a date to be advised very soon.

Rebekah, Amy and Rebecca

Some dance schools have resumed classes this week but unfortunately as BEAM is in a community centre sharing the space with other groups we are still unable to return. Keep your fingers crossed for a return on Thursday 28th October 🤞🤞We will keep you updated!

Let’s hope restrictions continue to ease and we can back for a fabulous, lockdown free term four 🤞

Exciting news! We’ll be out of lockdown from Friday 😊

Please note the following changes that will come into effect:

- 5 reasons to leave home will be removed (except for Greater Shepparton)
- No limit on the distance regional Victorians can travel from home (other than restrictions to enter metropolitan Melbourne)
- Authorised worker list no longer applies
- If you can work from home, you should work from home
- Schools will re-open for onsite learning for Prep, Grade 1, Grade 2 and Year 12 students (or students studying year 12 subjects)
- Restaurants, cafes, hairdressing, entertainment venues and community facilities re-open in line with density limits (these businesses must be checking IDs)
- Importantly, masks continue to be required indoors and outdoors, except at private residences or an exemption applies

Now, more than ever, it is important that we stay COVID-safe. Please get tested at the first sign of any COVID-19 symptoms and remember hand hygiene and social distancing. Also carry your ID, as our businesses will have to check you’re from regional Victoria.

Tomorrow we will provide an update on City services that will be re-opening on Friday.

BEAM will be holding its next AGM Tuesday the 5th of October at 5.30pm. This is an online meeting. If you would like to be a part please email [email protected] for a link to be set up for you.

Just a reminder that there are no classes due to this lockdown - stay safe and hopefully we will be back in a couple of weeks

Yay we can continue classes under the same restrictions as a week ago! Check in, maintain social distancing, 10 people in a group and face masks for over 12s 😊
