We are sad to announce that our party and ceilidh dance scheduled for October 11 will be postponed
until mid-January. The holidays are getting closer, cooler weather is setting in, and the infection rate of
the virus has only just started to drop and is still very high, especially in Pierce and south King Counties.

The CDC has just released guidelines for the holidays and is recommending people get together virtually,
outdoors or just with immediate family. All of us want to stay healthy so we can enjoy the upcoming
holidays. We just want to stay healthy anyway! The risk of breakthrough infection is still very real. So,
we are making the decision to wait on dance until at least 2 weeks after New Year’s weekend. Hopefully
there won’t be a winter/holiday surge of infections like last year and cases will have dropped to a safer
level by mid-January.

We will be watching trends in the infection rate. Updates will be posted as we get closer to January.
Please do your part in putting this pandemic behind us. Stay safe everyone!

Our plan from the beginning was that, until we were completely sure of the safety of our attendees, we would not hold the fall party. Given the high positivity rate in the area, the fact that some of us have older vaccinations, and the nonessential nature of the event, we regret to inform you that we will have to postpone our party for a later date.

Because of COVID’s tendency to get worse near the end of the year and the spread of the delta variant, we do not know for sure if a gathering will be possible, but we have nevertheless set a tentative date for October 11th. We are asking that everyone be vaccinated. Masks may still be necessary.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely up until that time and get back to you with any further change of plans. We sincerely appreciate all the positive feedback we have received for getting back to dancing! We will keep trying.

After nearly a year and a half of no dancing, we are hoping to get together on Monday, September 13 for an informal gathering and ceilidh dance. The event will be from 7:00-9:00pm at the Danish Hall in Enumclaw (1708 Porter St.).  Dancers, family, friends, and other interested people are invited! This event will be free to attend. Cost for subsequent classes will be $5 per person per class.

The hall will have open doors and windows with fans going. We are asking that attendees be prepared to wear a mask, sanitize hands frequently, and keep some social distance when not actually dancing. We are also hoping that most, if not all, will have been vaccinated.

Some snacks will be available, either commercially wrapped or served by one person only. Attendees can bring their own snacks and drinks, also.

Since there are still concerns about the spread of COVID-19 and the delta variant, THE EVENT IS DEPENDENT ON PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDANCE. If we are not confident in everyone’s safety on September 13, we will postpone to a later date. Please watch this website for updates.
