Make sure you contact public health to know what's allowed. I believe in
Quebec the rules are max 25 people in the room, masked, 2 meters between
couples. At least that's how the only event I'm aware of operates (West
Coast Swing, not contra). Rules are likely different in Ontario but it's
worth checking.
As you can imagine, contra is not possible under the Quebec rules and we
would lose too much money with only 25 people anyway so we'll wait until
the rules are more appropriate

Hi caller friends,
I’m the president of Toronto Contra Dance and we’re about to survey our
membership about when they’ll feel ready to return to in-person dancing,
and under what circumstances. We’re expecting that at first dances will be
vaccinated-only spaces, probably with masks required. But it would be very
useful to us if we knew of other dance organizations that had already begun
vaccinated-only dances, so we could learn how that’s going. (Do they
require masks? Can people enjoy the dance with masks? Has anyone gotten
sick? What adaptations, e.g., slowing down the music, have they needed to
make to accommodate mask-wearing? What systems have worked well for
verifying vaccination status?)
I had hoped CDSS would be monitoring back-to-in-person dances to inform
the rest of us how those ventures are going, but as far as I can tell,
they’re not doing that.
Any information anyone can provide would be most appreciated! Back-channel
messages welcome! If I’m re-inventing the wheel here, please put me in
touch with whatever group is looking into this!
Thanks!
Becky Liddle
