Add Seattle WA to the list -- two weekly dances now, on Thursdays and Fridays. Both series have vax+booster required, bivalent booster strongly recommended, as well as asking all attendees to sign an agreement to let the organizers know if you test positive within a week after attending the dance. Dancers are required to mask; callers & musicians can choose to mask or not while on stage and I don't believe there's a testing requirement at either dance (I've called at both, but preferred to keep my mask on anyway, so I didn't ask). Both dances have had some isolated positive reports over time, as you would expect from regular non-dance exposure, but there have been no clusters that would suggest spread is likely to have occurred at the dance.
The dance tonight in Seattle has been canceled because a performer is ill -- they were originally scheduled for last week, caught Covid and swapped to this week, but then had a rebound and decided canceling entirely was a better plan. Fortunately there was plenty of notice, and because of the contact tracing policies the organizer has everyone's email addresses to let them know of the cancellation! Also fortunately, it's a mild case and they expect to make a full recovery.

You can add The HistoricalTea and Dance Society to the
“ Dances with vax+mask policy I know offhand with no reported spreads.”
We’ve been going strong for over a year and a half (minus a six week showdown during the Omicron surge).
Also all the Los Angeles based ECD and contra have similar policies.
We recommend folks trying a variety of different masks and see which one works best for you.
