We're back!
It's been a long road, but DanceFlurry events are heading back into full swing (and full contra!), bit by bit and with careful attention to the Covid landscape. In September, the Albany Contra returns to the Elks Lodge on the 2nd and 5th Fridays with a new steering committee and lots of community enthusiasm. In October, First Friday Swing expects to start back up, also at the Elks. Also in October, Capital English Country Dances will resume on first Sundays, along with the Cajun/Zydeco Saturday series, in Albany. See the calendar below for all the details!
Albany Sacred Harp and West African Drum and Dance continue to hold weekly sessions, and the Megaband has played several summer gigs, and has an upcoming performance at the Shaker Craft Fair. Opportunities abound to make music, dance, or enjoy a performance!
As they resume, our events will need volunteer support in many areas - please reach out to the organizers or contact DFO if you'd like to help!
DanceFlurry Affiliates (which are not financially supported by the DFO) create their own Covid policies, which are listed on all of their linked event pages. Each DFO-sponsored series will have its own specific Covid policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board's Covid Policy Work Group, and these are included with event information. Please see the individual webpages for details around vaccination requirements, masking, preregistration, or any other protocol that may be in place.
