Back to Planning Dances - 220512
The SOCD Board met recently and voted to plan contra dances for the full 2022-23 season, which will begin in September, and end in May. A number of new & old items have yet to be settled (including the actual Calendar Schedule). Being able to host dances while also meeting the health preferences of the majority of our community continues to be at the center of our decision making process. One of our best guideline sources for easing back into Post Pandemic dance activity is the CDSS (Country Dance & Song Society). It is possible that we will match the guidelines being used by the PCDC (Covid Response), which includes requirements for: ID, contact tracing information, an event waiver, proof of vaccination, and the wearing of masks (at all times in the dance-hall building).
Feedback is encouraged.
(Filling out the "Online Contact Form" is the best option.)
We also make more detailed announcements through our Newsletter on these matters.
We wish everyone Happiness & Health. Hope to see you again soon.
