I'm glad we are sharing information about how we are taking steps to avoid being part of the problem, in terms of being a disease vector. Our group got this from the New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA), which I have found very useful. There are links to New England CDC/DHHS sites, and a bunch of other important data. Check it out. https://www.nefa.org/covid-19 Our traditional participatory dance culture has such potential to spread joy, in part because of close proximity and a whole lot of touching hands. We build community through connecting -- metaphysically and literally -- with everyone in the room. This is definitely the dark side of all that beautiful touching and connection. Let's keep taking care of each other and our communities!

This button directs you to a page that the individual group has set up (ie CDSS doesn’t set this up for you). https://www.cdss.org/covid19#cancellations I encourage you to set up a donations page, let your community know about it, and then get it added to the CDSS page. BTW, the above CDSS link also has good info about what organizers need to consider when cancelling events.
