Jeff,
Any test?
So like, someone can take the rapid test which is only about 55% accurate
when no symptoms are present? :/
Yikes.
Hopefully someone can message the Worcester orgs and suggest they tighten
up the language on that?
At least they have a mask mandate, which seems to be a big factor
The first Massachusetts dance to be starting up in person indoors is the
Worcester dance: https://www.worcesterdance.org/. They list:
"Documented proof of either full vaccination or a negative COVID test. The
COVID test must be taken no more than three days prior to the dance. Photos

In Louisville, the group that usually organizes dances has not started dancing
again so other dances have popped up to take their place.
There is a weekly dance recently on Mondays, all volunteer everything, with
donations, vaccinated only, not checked, and you have to sign a waiver. Masks

Here in St Louis, we've had a small handful of dances - outdoors in a city
park, live music, open calling, proof of vaccination required, with a
signup sheet provided in case we hear of anyone getting sick (so we can
notify all the others who attended).
The dances have only a small percentage of

We certainly realize that and have nothing planned for the foreseeable
future. Maybe next year. I was just reporting on what has been taking place

Hi Jonathan,
Here's the thing: your local English group held dances in the late spring and
summer. But I would contend that their experiences are not a good
representation of the current situation. The Delta variant began its surge in
midsummer and that has changed the risk equation. The Delta

Our local contra dance group has not started dancing again. In June and early July we were
discussing starting again in the fall and trying to figure out how that would work. It was likely
going to be for vaccinated only, but wearing masks seems less useful when you are in physical
Those of you who are sponsoring live contra events, can you answer Becky’s
other question:
