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.
