--------------------
If you are confident (to the extent that you can be confident) that you will not be spreading (covid, flu, a cold) then you are welcome to join us. Some of us take the added protection of wearing a mask while dancing and that is encouraged.

I am told that not everybody checks their e-mail these days. If you wish to be notified about Louisville ECD activities using another medium, let me know ... well, this is awkward ... let me know via e-mail what alternative vehicle to use to contact you.
