Albany Contradances! – Suspended

Please be assured that we will resume our events just as soon as we believe they can be run without undo risks to community health.

We know we are resilient and that the dance community will bounce back strongly. We all need more music and dancing (and laughter) in our lives; those things also promote good health.

So we look forward to the resumption of such events as organizers and organizations feel able to resume them.

Meanwhile, dance virtually; listen to music you like; start composing dances, or tunes, if you haven’t tried that before; keep in (virtual) touch with your friends and family; keep in mind that this, too, shall pass; and stay well.

Happy dancing (when next you are able to do so).
