Let’s Talk About Reentry, Part 5: News from Groups That Have Resumed In-person Events
An online discussion for organizers of music, dance, and song communities
We’ve heard from numerous organizers that there is strong interest in hearing news from communities that have already resumed in-person events. This Web Chat will provide valuable experiences and suggestions from three dance, music, and song organizers who are already navigating their reentry, as well as perspectives from a public health professional. We know caution is still high, especially as reports of virus variants fill our news feeds. Whether your group is still waiting or has a reentry event on the horizon, we hope that hearing other folks’ experiences will provide information that helps in your planning.
Caller
Margaret Mathews
With more than 35 years experience as dancer, musician and caller, Margaret’s easy-going, engaging style gets everyone out on the dance floor. Her ability to smoothly adjust the dances to the experience level of the dance community make it a fun and accessible evening for everyone. In addition to contra dances, she calls for traditional Old Time square dances, Civil War reenactments, hoedowns, weddings and other joy filled occasions. Her dance calling has taken her up and down the East coast, from the Carolinas to Vermont, as well as the Northwest and Canada. When not calling, Margaret plays bass in Wild Root String Band, a Southern Old Time band.
