Hi, I'm with Lavender Country and Folk Dancers. We've been running queer
dance camps in New England for around 30 years. Covid has messed up our
venue situation, so we're searching for a new venue in the general New
England region for our fall dance camp, which is usually in the

sound and improve acoustics? (What vendors do you recommend?)
Back story:
Our first Friday dance series moved to a new venue when we started up again in
November 2022. The hall is visually appealing, with a high ceiling made of
tin, large windows on three sides of the hall, gor

Our local venue has a volunteer running a "Skirt & Shirt" sale at dances to
benefit the venue. Clothing items are reasonably priced and they include
dance shoes as well. Exchanges are given a discount toward purchases. The

For the weekly English country dance series, we must follow the policy of
the venue since we dance in a space that is used by children in other parts
of the week. The policy requires all dancers to show proof of vaccination
with a booster. We only require this for the first dance they atten

by welcoming each new younger dancer who shows up. Social time afterwards can
be really helpful here.

very important. But I do believe venue accessibility is important (a place

I recently left the Board, so I will speak in the past tense:
1) In the last 14 years, we (the dance organizers) never cancelled a dance due
to weather - people seem to come anyway, in Vermont. However, sometimes the
owner of the venue closed (cancelled) due to the weather.
2) As soon as

They may be able to suggest an acoustics consultant.
An effective sound system for your venue, with a competent
operator, is another consideration.

We have been fortunate to have an amazing Parks and Rec department in The
City of Pasco, 9n the cities here in the Tri-Cities, WA. They co-sponsor
our summer dance series by providing the venue (a pavillion with concrete

their

I should be meeting with them in the next few days.
Belaboring this because we want their input on
how to make the space work for children while staying safe

The venue is pretty open air except for winter, with big fans moving air.
I no longer run sound there, but that's a separate thing(too much driving).
