[Viva] Dance classes for poz women!

[Margarite Sanchez]

Hi gals,

I'm forwarding this message along from the Positively Dance Program. I
couldn't forward it with the posters - the file was too big.


Good morning,



I hope you are well. Firstly, thank you very much for sharing our previous
employment poster. We are thrilled to have received so much interest. I am
reaching out today to share that we are now recruiting participants for the
research arm of our study. *As part of the Positively Dance Program, we are
seeking cis and trans- women living with HIV who would be interested in
participating in dance classes, (2 classes per week) from June to August
2022.* Our research team is interested in knowing if participation in a
dance program led by peer instructors is feasible, accessible, and
enjoyable for women living with HIV. We are also interested in determining
if group dance classes will improve physical, mental, and social wellbeing.



Attached please find our research participant recruitment poster for women
living with HIV in Vancouver’s Lower Mainland. We would appreciate it if
you could share widely with your network. We are also happy to print out
11x8 posters of our advertisement and drop them off for you to post around
your organization. If you provide us your address and how many copies you
would like, we can send or drop them off for you this week. In addition,
you can access more information on our website positivelydanceprogram.com
<https://www.positivelydanceprogram.com/>. The website has a significant
amount of additional details for women to review. We have also included a
‘FAQ” document for women, in case questions arise prior to viewing the
website.



Lastly, we have included ads for different social media platforms
(e.g., twitter, Facebook, Instagram) in case you would like to share about
this program on your platforms.



Please let us know if you have any questions or comments. If you would like
to contact us, you can reply to this email (kin.dance at ubc.ca). Someone on
our team will get back to you within a day or two



Thank you!



Best,

Naomi, Shelly, and Eli, Team Leads of the Positively Dance Pilot Program
