Dancing in Lansing, Sat April 2!
Hi all -
Just a reminder - Steve and Renee Johnson are celebrating 50 years of marriage. They decided it would be fun to have a Dance party for the community- that is this Saturday! The super danceable music will be provided by The Latter Day Lizards - a great band with that plays at many dance weekends, The caller is Darlene Underwood- a wonderful caller from Cincinnati - and a long time fav of Lansing dancers.
We will once again be checking vaccine cards and IDs. the CDC says vaccinated and boosted is “fully vaccinated”, so that is what we are going with. No one in the hall who is not fully vaccinated- this includes small children and babies (who are not yet eligible to be vaccinated)
The event will be this Saturday, April 2 at Central United Methodist Church (CUMC), 215 N Capitol Ave in Lansing. For more Covid precautions, see below. We’ll enjoy a contra and square dance from 7pm until 10pm, and there will be an intro workshop before this dance. Donations will be accepted at the door and will support future dances in Lansing. Please Do Not bring snacks to share.
Since this fabulous band will be in town, the local dance organizers have decided to host an English Country Dance in the afternoon - starting at 2pm (ending around 5pm) at CUMC. Ray Bantle, from Ann Arbor, will teach and lead the dancing. Admission to the afternoon dance will also be by donation.
A NOTE- Please, when you are at CUMC, stay on the first floor- if you bring kids with you, please keep them on the first floor as well. The main floor of the Fellowship Hall (and the bathrooms and entrance hall) are the only spaces we are renting for the dance. If I understand the new policies correctly, we are not supposed to be in the carpeted space at the back of the hall, or in the two class rooms on the westside of the Fellowship Hall - thanks for observing these new requests.
Now - the Covid precautions - (Updated April 1)
- Everyone must provide proof of full vaccination (along with a photo ID). No exceptions. Boosters are encouraged.
- Masks MUST be worn at all times, except when drinking water. We will provide straws. Surgical masks are better than cloth masks. N95, or K95 are even better
- Everyone will provide contact information after presenting vaccine credentials — email and phone number.
- There will be no snacks. There will be no potluck dinner between the dances.
- If you are SICK- DO NOT Come.
Happy Dancing, Julie LW
