I am scheduled to provide an outdoor dance at a wedding in Ohio on Sept. 4. The musicians have bowed out, so it would be just me with recorded music, on formica sheets (!) over a large brick patio. Here are modifications I am considering:
- mask optional
- dance only with chosen partner, i.e. no mixers
- can swing chosen partner but otherwise hand contact only (e.g. circle, star, dosidos, AL R&L, sashay)
- no long lines F&B
With these rules I can modify and call:
- big circle dances
- squares
- Sicilian circles
- simple ECD
- longways Ceilidgh or barn dances
- couple dances (e.g. waltz)
- Chicken dance (requested)
What do you think? or should I cancel the dance?
