North Bay Country Dance Society

Sebastopol Advanced English Country Dance
2022-05-29 14:00 - 16:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Wischemann Hall, 465 Morris St., Sebastopol, CA, United States
Caller: Kalia Kliban
Band: Bill Jensen (piano), Anne Goess (violin)
Our 5th Sunday series is for experienced dancers, so instruction will be streamlined and the dances will be more complex than at our 1st and 3rd Sunday dances. We expect dancers attending these sessions to be completely comfortable with heys for 3 and 4, dolphin heys, figure 8s, and triple minor progression. They should also be able to maintain their sense of orientation within the set. This is not the time to bring your friends who are new to English country dancing, though we’d love to see them at the 1st and 3rd Sundays.
Wear smooth-soled, low-heeled shoes. Admission is $13 for members and affiliates, $15 for non-members, $5 for dancers 30 and under. Fragrance-free event, no perfume or scented products please.
Because of ongoing COVID-19:

— There is a limit of 36 attendees, and preregistration is encouraged. To preregister, please email Tom at tspittler@gmail.com. We will confirm your registration or if you are on the waiting list at least one week before the dance. If you preregister and realize you can’t come, even if it’s right before the dance, please tell us so we can notify the folks on the waiting list. The managers’ email addresses are tspittler@gmail.com and kwoeltjen@yahoo.com.
— For our dance, all attendees will need to be fully vaccinated, including the booster dose. As per direction from the North Bay Country Dance Society board, we will require proof of vaccination and booster for each of you, no exceptions. We will also require the wearing of appropriate masks. N95, KN95, KF94 and technical cloth masks, such as Enro Tech Mask, Happy Mask Pro, Proper Cloth Mask, Graf Lantz Zenbu Mask, and Kitsbow Face Mask, are acceptable. Your old cloth masks will need to be retired for our dance, sorry.
— Please realize that dancing poses a potential risk, even to those who are vaccinated. If you have a compromised immune system, please wait and come when you feel it would be safe.
— If you are not feeling well the day of the dance please stay home to protect yourself and others.
— We won’t have the group snack table until we can stop being masked indoors, but folks are welcome to bring their own treats to enjoy during the break.
— Please avoid wearing any scented products.
