Last update: May 11, 2022
Louisville ECD is back on schedule dancing on the 2nd and last Sundays of each month, 3 - 5 PM at St. Andrews. $3
Well, sort of. After a brief pause on the 8th, we are dancing again on May 15. Certainly hope that YOU will join us.
For now, we are insisting that participants be vaccinated. We have received complaints about that but until the majority of our regular dancers feel comfortable removing the rule we will hold to it.
I am told that not everybody checks their e-mail these days. If you wish to be notified about Louisville ECD activities using another medium, let me know ... well, this is awkward ... let me know via e-mail what alternative vehicle to use to contact you.

Virtual and in person: https://www.cdss.org/community/events-calendar.
Virtual dancing is not nearly as fun as in person dancing, of course, BUT it does allow you to learn from teachers that would not otherwise be available to you. PLUS you can "attend" dance events that you probably would not go to otherwise.
BY THE WAY: ONE of those teachers is local. It is, of course, Deborah Denenfield who holds online dance and music events for her Dancing Well, The Soldier Project. Join her on Wednesday afternoons at: www.dancingwell.org/dance-with-us
CDSS is planning to have a full dance camp schedule this summer. Assuming that it is safe to do so, music and song and dance will be available:
camp.cdss.org/camp-weeks/These camps are great fun. Check the camp web page and see what would interest you.
Hey Days sponsored by the Bay Area County Dance Society (California) is on for June 12 - 19.
