In the previous season, we made community-involved decisions regarding COVID policy. After a survey of members' widely different opinions / circumstances and lots of deliberation, we decided to drop the Covid vaccination requirements for all dances. In terms of the mask requirement, however, we chose to offer participation chances to people on both ends of the spectrum. It meant that some of the dances were be mask-mandatory, and some others mask-optional.
For the coming season, we based our decision on the August 2024 survey of 71 of our members. Accordingly, the designation of individual dances as either mask-optional or mask-mandatory is as shown in the table below.
Regular times to remember:Afternoon dances: from 2 pm to 5 pm
Intro lessons: from 7 pm to 7:30 pm
Evening dances: from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm
