Oahu Nightclubbing, 2021.

The night club scene is beginning to open up. They must try to make money but they also like to see happy customers. Is it safe to go to these Oahu venues? Are there any other safety measures taken by venue? There has been a little trouble with Trumpanxzees, they want "their" freedom. Venues that are opened right now have implemented very strict and comprehensive COVID-19 protocols to ensure safety and well-being of their patrons. While it varies per venue, most places have temperature checks at the door, and some even have quick COVID test kits available prior to entry.

“Social dancers know that we cannot erase the past. We cannot even change it.

But sometimes life offers us the opportunity to put it right.”

 

Do you need to wear a mask? Masks are mandatory upon arrival - if you don't have one, the venue staff may provide you with one before you are allowed to enter. Once inside the venue, hand sanitizers are available and masks are not required at your table or when entering the general area. However, they are still highly encouraged when you leave your table area to use the bathroom. Play it safe, for you and your fellow dancers. Wear them and just remove when taking a drink.

When attending nightlife venues during the pandemic, you should expect some level of capacity restrictions. It varies by venue, but most places are not allowing general admission and have reduced their capacity to anywhere between 25-75%. Tables are spaced out to maintain social distancing guidelines. Bottle service groups are expected to stay at their table only. Mingling with other groups is frowned upon, and often closely monitored. With the current state of affairs, most venues do not have a live DJ. Pre-recorded DJ sets are common, Patience, we may be out of it by year's end.

"Life is like dancing – it’s not about getting from one place to another.

It’s about enjoying each step along the way."
