COVID-19 POLICY
All Friday Night Dances are MASK OPTIONAL. We continue to recommend, but not require up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination. We ask dancers to inform us at info@fridaynightdancers.org if anyone is diagnosed with COVID-19 infection following a dance. We also monitor the website Montgomery County Maryland COVID Hospitalizations as a measure of community hospitalizations associated with COVID-19 infection. If an outbreak of COVID-19 infection occurs following this change or hospitalizations associated with COVID-19 infection rise significantly, the FND Board will consider requiring masks and/or COVID-19 vaccinations again. Our goal is to continue to dance with each other in safety and with joy.
Please do not attend a dance if you have symptoms of any infectious illness, even if you don’t think you have a COVID-19 infection. Help keep our community safe!
