Joyride decided to move the accustomed first Wednesday dance at Polish Hall to the actual NYE because, well, there should be a contra dance on New Year’s Eve. So, we dance on Tuesday rather than Wednesday. Except for a final dance after midnight, there won’t be a first Wednesday dance in January.
Nearly all of our callers since Spring 2022 have opted to use gender-neutral terms in their teaching and prompting. Assume gender-neutral calling unless otherwise indicated.
COVID Policy:
Masks are now optional for dancers and performers alike.
Proof of vaccination is not required for entry to the event.
You will not need to provide contact information and sign a waiver.
In other words, at this time, attending the first Wednesday contra dance will be the same as in pre-COVID years with the exception that wearing a mask for self-protection is encouraged for those who wish to do so. Please respect others’ choices with regard to wearing or not wearing masks without judgement or prejudice.
