Great thread! In Philadelphia the Mt Airy Contra dance has no shortage of 20-30ish year old dancers. The attendance varies between 40-60 dancers every other week (pre-pandemic we were weekly) and our age demographic has dropped 20-25 years! Many of our older long term dancers have not yet returned for various reasons--family health, personal health, resistance to restrictions, etc. The most recent survey of our email list we had 140 responses and the majority of respondents wanted vaxxed, and masked.
We continue to monitor the Covid numbers in our area, listen to our members, pay attention to the science and maintain an open mind about options.

The other thing I'd like to investigate is the cause for the reduced attendance of younger dancers. Is it true that requiring masks is reducing the proportion of younger dancers to the dance?
