Yes, I have talked to them, suggesting that they not allow tests as an
alternative to vaccination, and that they provide free surgical masks
(~$0.08/each) to people arriving with cloth masks.

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 in
reducing transmission, assuming people don't have slipping and loose masks
or bandanas.

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 of either vax cards or said test results will be accepted as proof.
Per City of Worcester mandate, masks are to be worn at all times by
everyone in the building.
Each attendee must provide their name, email address, and cell phone
number for contact-tracing purposes.
The gymnasium where the dance is being held is quite large for the
expected number of attendees. We will augment that by placing box fans in
front of open windows in at least two locations to provide for the
circulation of fresh air. The facility also has several ceiling fans which
will assist in that process."

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 not required. Some people wear masks and some do not. 30~40
people.
There is a second dance, not the same people organizing, happening
occasionally but not on a regular basis that has been going on for months.
Also vaccinated only, and masks strongly recommended. The last one was
well attended. There's one scheduled 3rd Sat this month and the
announcement says they will be checking cards.
Between the two groups mentioned above, there will be 5 contra dances in
Louisville in November, not counting the tin-hat-crowd barn dance east of
town which has been going on monthly for more than a year, except summer.
Some people are fine dancing in a mask and some people object for
various stated reasons, obviously.
On a related note, the club salsa community in town here, which is
significant, has been dancing business-as-usual for most of the year. Ditto
the west coast swing crowd.
I am not personally aware of any dancing related breakouts.
