Re: Is it time to end COVID restrictions at most contra dances?

by John and/or Jan Bloom

As Alan said, whatever you do you will alienate someone. What I did with the Brunswick ECD was to ask all of the dancers - would you dance if masks were required - would you dance if masks were optional and so on. Then I picked the rules that maximized the number of dancers. I realize that this is harder for Contra, where you have a lot of dancers that you can't ask, including potential future dancers. But in my case it seemed like the right way to do it. John Bloom

Acquired Immunity Policy Examples

by Don Veino

We're considering a topic which has been raised to us a few times from prospective participants. To this date, we have maintained a straight vax + boost requirement for our series. I'm interested in examples of group COVID policies providing for participation of individuals who do not otherwise meet published vaccination requirements but have acquired potential immunity due to recent infection. Effectively, having acquired immunity through infection substituting as a form of vaccination. In particular: what are the qualifications and/or proof requirements and the duration of the allowance for vaccination substitution you use, if any? Substitution for any/all vax requirements or simply as a booster equivalent in some form? Thanks in advance for your help and links to any written policies. I'd greatly prefer if we can keep this thread focused on this particular topic and appreciate all civility. Should you wish to raise a tangential issue, please revise the subject line to fork the thread.

Performer "Testing to Unmask" Policy Timing

by Don Veino

For those of you with a COVID policy regarding testing (particularly re: performers "testing in" to be on stage unmasked) - please consider your lead time and possibilities for contingency action. We'll be changing the policy of our dance due to our experience tonight. Our caller (me!) tested upon arrival at the hall. Entered masked, helped get set up going and then discovered a positive result. Thirty minutes to the first dance, folks already en route. Best efforts made, the dance was able to happen without me but just barely. We will be requiring this optional testing now to happen within a specified period which will provide for sufficient time to react appropriately before the event set up commences.

Thread on electronic payment options for dances

by Craig Meltzner

Hello friends, On a recent CDSS call, I suggested a webchat or other resource sharing about accepting electronic payments at the door for dances. I think it was Joanna that noted there was a recent e-mail chain on this subject which I missed. Could someone please repost that thread and/or e-mail it to me? Many thanks.

LVP floor experience

by Steve Pike

Does anyone have experience contra dancing on a Luxury Vinyl Plank floor? We’re looking at a hall that would be suitable otherwise. I’ve danced there once (Irish Sets, not contra) and it dances well, better than tile, not quite as good as wood, but I wonder about the floor’s durability standing up to repeated swings in the same contra lines.

Some examples of COVID policies

by Lisa Sieverts

Hi all, We at the Monadnock Folklore Society are figuring out our restart and therefore also our COVID policies. As research, I made a Google Doc with a bunch of different policies from various groups, that I thought were well-worded at the various different levels of restrictions. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vABialmqd_01rS9LU9FIQRbLcf2qitMQ3oH4oji… Sharing here in case it helps others. Once we figure ours out, I’ll add it to the list. If you think your group has a well-worded COVID policy that provides a different nuance from these others, please send me the info and I’ll add it. Best, Lisa Lisa Sieverts 603-762-0235 lisa(a)lisasieverts.com
