Given that the vaccines do not stop the spread, only mute symptoms, and that
natural immunity isn't always documented, we will be hosting live in person
dances with a minimum of paperwork and a maximum of privacy in the coming year.
We are also considering prohibiting masks, as a)no peer-reviewed studies
published prior to 2020 show that they are effective in preventing the spread
of respiratory diseases b)many published studies show they provide repositories
for bacteria to breed, and increase reuptake of both bacteria and CO2 and c)
dancing with someone who covers their face with a dirty hanky impairs
communication and connection. We don't want to discriminate needlessly, but we
do believe that having everyone on the same page with regards to their own
personal responsibility to manage their heath matters. The choice to attend an
event where others will be holding hands, touching each other, have visible
faces and expect to see theirs, and the vulnerability that comes with having a
face that can be seen and known, will be appreciated by those in attendance,
and will provide a strong unifying factor in community building.
If any of this echoes positively with you, and you reside in the Jefferson
State area, please contact us at [email protected] for further updates.
Current counties of interest include Humboldt, Trinity, Shasta, Tehama, and
Siskiyou. Looking for dance space, media contacts, musicians primarily in these
areas.
Cognitive dissonance between what I have written and your COVID beliefs? Feel
free to block emails from the above address and write me off. This list is for
contra dancing, not to debate misinformation and who is right or wrong- it is
my desire to start a dance, not a debate. I think we can agree that the
definition of science and the definition of policy are not synonymous, and hope
we may all dance together, both freely and safely, in unity someday.
Namaste,
Alison
