Dancing in Lansing, this Sat and New Year's Eve

Hi all- Here we are with the holiday season upon us and we are having a dance this Saturday night!

This Saturday, Dec 17, we will gather at Central United Methodist Church at 215 N. Capitol Ave in Lansing. New dancer intro- or refresher- at 6:30pm, Dance goes 7-10pm. Our Caller this week is Carol Steiner and our “friends of long standing” , The Scarlet Runner String Band, will provide the dancing tunes. It will be good to see and hear these guys after a long break.

I say “long standing” instead of - old

We are continuing with the “pay what you can” for admission. We have posted a sliding scale of $5 and up to $25.

New Year’s Eve is just over 2 weeks away- where has the year gone!? The planning committee has decided that we WILL have a New Year’s Eve dance (after cancelling the last two years due to Covid)

After much discussion, we (the dance committees of Looking Glass Music And Arts, and the Ten Pound Fiddle) have decided to leave our Covid precautions for this week and New Year’s Eve as they have been since we started up last spring.
-We require Proof of Vaccination If you have danced with us this fall and presented your vaccination card, we have that recorded and you do not need to bring your card again. -Mask While Dancing -It is OK to take Masks off around the (individually wrapped) snacks

Ok- hope your holiday preparations are going well and you have time to join us at the dance.

Sad to say I will not be around this Saturday - working backstage at Wharton this week - but I will see you on New Year’s Eve!

Happy Dancing, Julie LW
