Please note that as of the June 3 dance, our policy is changing to “mask optional.” Participants are encouraged to continue masking if that is their preference.

Please wear dance shoes with soft or suede bottoms, sneakers/running shoes specifically used for dancing and not worn on the street, or ballet slippers. Alternatively, it is available to dance in socks or barefoot. Dance shoes with tapered heels and shoes worn for regular street use can damage the dance floor, and we request you not wear them.
