We continue to mask for health reasons and are about the only people we know who have never had covid! Have not danced since 2019. Amazed to see the masked dance option and looking forward to rejoining.

On masking questionnaire.
Some people do not come (or dance) because of mask restrictions. [Redacted name] jumps to mind. There are others ([more names]) who do not come to other masked dances for that reason.
There may be others like [them] re the Monday dance.
But they are probably not included in the questionnaire on June 26.
I suggest you adjust your results accordingly.

Hi Any change in the mask policy yet? Worcester is too far for me to travel but I appreciated the info. Thanks!

Hi, are there any plans afoot to drop the requirement for dancing in N95’s now that cases are very low? I personally just can’t breathe well enough after a period of energetic dancing to wear one and they also make me very hot and uncomfortable. I just can’t/won’t attend as long as N95’s are required and it’s been over three years since I was able to dance in Concord. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way. The surgical masks aren’t so bad. Everyone I know including myself has already gotten Covid at least once or twice which most health authorities believe gives 40 weeks of good immunity. Covid is endemic now and we are going to have to live with it for decades to come! It’s not going anywhere. Of course anyone who wants to wear an N95 dancing should absolutely feel 100% comfortable continuing to do so! I am not knocking anyone else’s choice! How about it Concord?

Could there be a link to a printable page/file advertising contra dancing in Concord? It would not need to list each event, but invite newbies to try it out, listing the website and selected sources of information. Current dancers could print it and/or E-mail it to prospects.

I know you're trying to minimize the labor required to put on the Monday contras. Would it be helpful to resume only every other week? Pragmatically, if sadly, this also allows enough time to isolate and test a suspected COVID case from one dance to the next...

Someone posted at NEFFA (SU 4/24/2022) that Monday Dances had resumed and there would be a Dance on 4/25/2022. This website says "We are busy planning the return of the Monday Contras series at the Concord, MA Scout House. We hope to have further information available shortly." and it Calendar (which appears to be the Scout House Calendar says Monday Dances are "on hiatus"...

Hello! I am traveling to Concord from Cincinnati in September 2022 and would love to catch at contra dance or English or Scottish Country Dance in the area. Are there hopes of opening back up by then? Thanks! Christie Armstrong

What methods of payment do you accept, other than cash? Checks? Credit cards? Venmo? I love coming, but I don't always have cash on me. Thanks!!

Hello,
I am interested in attending your Contra dances, however I have never danced Contra before; do you offer instruction before hand?
Thank you.

Monday January 19th contradance:
I had lots of fun at Monday Contras at the Scout House in the past, but that night I was frustrated at feeling I was acting like a chicken with its head cut off trying to find a partner who wasn't alread partnered for the sets, especially when more women than men left at about 9 p.m. that night.
Please tell me if you think the M/F ratio may continue to be skewed like it was the evening of the 19th in the near future. (I had overheard this situation from another male to be ongoing). Thank you for reading this. I want to continue dancing at the Scout House.

I've never been dancing at the scout house before, but I have danced else where. If I don't own a pair of soft soled shoes, is dancing barefoot an option?

Monday night was great, but the sound was not. Particularly with accordion, guitar, and violin, the sound needed monitoring and adjusting throughout the night. Sometimes the accordion overpowered the fiddle, sometimes the guitar . . .
I think Jack did the initial adjustment, but there probably needs to be someone responsible for the sound in the hall afterwards.
