Cancellations & Postponements
- Due to the current conditions surrounding the COVID-19 Country Two Steppers have decided to cancel both May and June dances. Since dancing is a social and mingling event it is not practical to hold these dances given the requirements for social distancing even if the Coronado Community Center is open. If things change to a more normal setting prior to June 13, please let us know and we would be happy to reconsider our decision.
