Our dance organizers have not had the conversation. But here are the same thoughts I would express to them if we had that conversation this week. I think resumption will follow this pattern. Each organizer will make their own individual decision about when they will be safe to help run a dance. Dancers and performers will likewise. As a result, dances can only resume if enough organizers and performers for a dance series decide to resume it. Hopefully they don’t need 100% of the organizers, but many series are run by very few people. Dances stand a good chance of losing money (more than usual, anyway) for months until enough dancers decide to come. Performers will face pressure to decide between health safety (their own and the dancers) versus income/supporting dances. Hopefully no one adds peer pressure to anyone else, but that seems unlikely. I imagine the most powerful pressure arguments will include “Our dance will die if we don’t resume now!” “Our venue’s regular reservation will be taken by some other group!” “We need to support our artists!”. \Bob Peterson Boston Gender Free Contra Dance PS I haven’t even considered how dances must change to reduce virus transmission. That’s a related but separate topic.
