Out of abundance of caution and to protect everyone's health including our volunteer DJs and instructors, we are pausing Friday nights at The Cuff for the month of January until further notice. We will continue our standard Tuesday night line dancing as this event allows for more distancing and greater air circulation. At these events we will enforce our fully vaccinated/masking policy. But we also strongly encourage our members to get their booster shot and opt for a more effective N95 mask instead of a cloth one. We typically dance every Friday at The Cuff from 7-9:45pm with a free lesson from 7:15-8pm and every Tuesday at All Pilgrims Church from 7-9pm. For a quick look at this week's upcoming dance, what dances we're teaching, and who is the DJ, visit our events page on facebook: facebook.com/RainCountryDance/events Our typical lesson schedule is:
On Tuesday night's feature line dancing at All Pilgrims Church. The lesson is at 7:30pm. We usually feature a new-to-Seattle dance roughly every third night of dancing and reteaches of other line dances on the other Tuesdays. |
