Details
COVID precautions in effect. You must bring (or have brought to a previous dance) proof of being fully vaxxed and boosted and all must wear effective masks, such as Kn95. Windows in the hall may be open for good ventilation, but that number is allowed be as low as one if it is cold and windy. In any case, it may be cool – dress accordingly. While it’s very rare, we occasionally have to cancel a dance on short notice. Check web site before you come. Sadly, no refreshments! Or any other maskless eating in the hall. Water fountains are turned off, so please bring your own water bottles.
