Count How many Monday Contras events have you attended since we restarted in May of 2022? Have you stopped attending our events due to the N95/ equivalent mask requirement? If we KEEP the current N95 or equivalent MASK REQUIREMENT, how frequently would you attend going forward? If we REMOVE the MASK REQUIREMENT, how frequently would you attend going forward? (We'd still welcome those who choose to mask and continue our excellent ventilation.) If we were to ALTERNATE Mask REQUIRED & Mask NOT REQUIRED events, would you likely attend: Primary Observations
88 Dancer Responses None = 21
1 to 5 = 38
6 to 10 = 12
11 or more = 17
so [1 or more] = 67
Yes = 21
(14 never att'd)
(7 had att'd 1+)

A significantly higher number are passionate re: not requiring masks (Won't attend values). Taken at their word, there's an approximately 33% upside in attendance possible by including these folks. Fewer people are passionate about requiring masks.

For aggregation:
[Regular] = Each + Monthly counts
[Attend] = Regular + Occasionally counts
EitherNOT = Both/Either + Not Required
EitherREQ = Both/Either + Mask Required.

This group includes all folks who have danced with us at least once during COVID times. More than half of these folks now support optional vs. required masks.
29 Most Frequent Dancers [6 or more] = 29 No = 29
Yes = 0
[Regular] = 21 [Regular] = 18 Both/Either = 23
NOT Req = 0
REQ = 6
EitherNOT = 23
EitherREQ = 29
Not surprisingly, those dancing most often at masked events have the strongest passion for masks and we want to continue supporting these folks.

Even so, the majority of respondents would attend Mask Optional events (Both/Either).
88 Most Engaged (performers, MC email list, FB group) [1 or more] = 72 No = 66

This group includes performers, folks subscribed to our MonCon email list, FB page, etc. We did not get sufficient performer response in the short window provided so are seeking more replies currently.

Once more, a very significant proportion of this group supports mask optional dances.
