This is an indoor, *vaccinated and boosted only* dance event sponsored by EBCS and produced by Dan Zemelman (DJ DZ).

With the disappearance of so many beloved dance events during the pandemic, we want to offer an event modeled after Ecstatic Dance, Open Floor and Five Rhythms to get dancers back on the floor and connecting with each other safely.

East Bay Community Dance occurs every Tuesday unless cancelled for a holiday or extreme weather.

Doors open at 7:00pm for warmup and the main set is from 7:30-9:30pm.

This coming Tuesday, we welcome DJ Dragonfly for the first time!!! I can't say enough about the respect I have for how much Dragonfly aka Martin has done for the dance community in the Bay Area and way way beyond. A true pioneer!

"If music is medicine, Dragonfly’s apothecary of sonic tonics are elixirs for the spirit, melodies for the mind and tribal beats for the body."

DJ lineup:

April 19: Rhythmystic

April 26: Neptune

May 3: Ra So

May 10: Técnico

May 17 VESICA

For now, there will not be food or drink served at East Bay Community Dance. However, The Well Organic Kitchen is perfectly situated next door, and serves drink and food until 10pm!

Tickets are $20 to $22 pre-sale (or cash/Venmo at the door)

No refunds. Don’t buy a ticket unless you know you can come. If you cannot come, please put up a post and sell your ticket on the Facebook event page. We often sell out, so selling tickets is not usually hard. If we do sell out, we can also try to sell your ticket at the door.

**There is limited capacity at EBCS, and we are selling out almost every time, so it is imperative to get advance tickets!

East Bay Community Dance is an all-vaccinated and -boosted event. EBCD is pleased to offer a dance space for those who desire a fully-vaccinated dance experience. This means that you must have received a booster on top of the second shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or or on top of one shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. **See exceptions below**

There are three ways to show your vaccination status:

1. Bring your completed vaccination card (including booster information) to the dance.

2. Go to https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov to get an electronic version of your vaccination and booster record, and show it at the door. You might want to save a screenshot of the record you receive on your phone.

3. Upload a photo of your vaccination card (including booster) via our Vaccination Record Upload Form at https://forms.gle/2NaXSvNrx3Vr9JU37. Once we have reviewed your card, we will add your name to our list of dancers who have been vaccinated and boosted, and who no longer need to show proof of vaccination / booster status at the door.

***We make limited exceptions for people who have not been boosted but had Covid in the past 30 days and for people who received their original vaccine series in the past six months. If you qualify for one of these exceptions, please email us in advance at ebcommunityspace@gmail.com

We cannot make exceptions to the vaccination/booster policy at the door.

People who are unable to show proof of vaccination and booster and who have not contacted us regarding an exception will not be admitted.

We look forward to dancing with you!

**Guidelines

· EBCD will Continue.

We will hold East Bay Community Dance this Tuesday and in future weeks as long as conditions don’t worsen significantly and Alameda County doesn’t change its regulations and guidance.

· Events are Potentially Risky.

We believe everyone attending should be aware that large gatherings like EBCD are not without risk. Attendance is a choice. Mask-wearing is optional.

· Cases Among the Vaccinated are Generally Mild.

Cases being spread among vaccinated people with normal immune systems are generally mild, which is why we feel it’s okay to hold the dance. However, even a mild case of covid requires 10 days of isolation, and Covid can be passed to unvaccinated and immunocompromised people with serious consequences. So every attendee at EBCD should evaluate the risks for themselves.

· No refunds

If you don’t think you are going to be able to come, don’t buy a ticket! We often sell out, so it is possible to sell your ticket on the Facebook event page the day of usually.

· Stay Home if You’re Even Slightly Sick.

Please do not attend EBCD if you have any symptoms that could be related to Covid-19, including cough, runny nose, congestion, fever, chills, aches or nausea.
