The Moving Violations Schedule

 
Hi all,
 
 
SPECIAL OFFER: For the March 18th, (3rd Sat. dance series), we especially hope you'll take it as a chance to introduce a friend, neighbor, or colleague to contra dancing:
** If you bring 1 or more people new to contra dancing with you, and you both/all arrive by 7:45 (so they can participate in most of the newcomers workshop), you'll each receive a coupon to get in free for a future 3rd Saturday dance (in 2023)! Please let us know when paying admission in order to get your coupon. **

Covid Precautions: All dance series at the Guiding Star Grange have agreed to a shared http://www.friendsofgreenfielddance.org/covid-19-policy/%26sa%3DD%26source%3Dcalendar%26usd%3D2%26usg%3DAOvVaw3fDcoaXa5RCPNXnhbIQ6PD&source=gmail&ust=1678238855090000&usg=AOvVaw21cdOigveTAN7LpSt6NlYC">Covid-19 policy, including requiring proof of vaccine + 1 booster if eligible for boosters, all dancers wearing N95/KN95/KF94 masks, exposure notification, protocols for maximizing ventilation, and more. Testing is encouraged but not required, except in certain cases (please see Covid policy for details).  
At the 3rd Saturday dance, all performers will be masked.
Bivalent Booster Requirement: From Nov. 15, 2022 onward, the bivalent booster (i.e. any Covid booster received since 9/1/22) will be required at the 3rd Sat. dance along with some other Greenfield dances. The only exceptions to the bivalent booster requirement for this dance are (1) if it has been less than 3 months since you had Covid (please notify the organizers in advance at band@themovingviolations.com if so) or (2) your primary vaccination series is so recent (less than 2 months before the dance dance date) that you are not yet eligible or a booster according to the CDC.

Preregistration is no longer offered for the 3rd Sat. dance.
There is also no attendance cap - so there's definitely room for you!  

If you are on the 3rd Sat. (The Moving Violations) Series Verified Dancers List, we know that you've shown proof of vaccination + the bivalent booster, agreed to the Covid policies, and given your contact info. ***If you're not on the 3rd Sat. Verified Dancer List, or you're not sure, please be sure to bring your vaccine + bivalent booster proof to show at the door.*** If you wish, you can opt in to joining the 3rd Sat. Verified Dancer List at any 3rd Sat. dance when checking in. Please note that it is up to each dance whether or not to offer this kind of list, and each dance maintains its own list.

Best,
Eric, Ron, and Van
