Health & COVID Policies

Let’s be frank. It appears that, in recent years, some dance weekends with optional masking have had some COVID infections. Still, the numbers of reported cases have been, statistically, low. (After Raindance 2025, we had no reported cases of COVID.) You should assume there will be some amount of active COVID virus available on the dance floor. You need to make your own personal choices on how to protect yourself.

A negative COVID test taken the same day you first arrive at the hall is required. This is on the honor system.
If you are sick or test positive for COVID, please do not attend. You will receive a full refund.

• Masks are admired but not required.
• Vaccination is desired but not required.
• Anyone who tests positive or who has symptoms before or during the weekend needs to immediately remove themselves and notify the organizers. They will get a full refund.
• If someone becomes symptomatic or tests positive during the weekend, we ask all their traveling companions or roommates to self-test each day. We highly recommend bringing extra test kits for Saturday and Sunday.
• Do not come if there is someone else in the home who tests positive for COVID. After COVID, wait at least 7 days after you have a negative test result.
• If the COVID situation should change drastically we reserve the right to change the policy. If you do not agree with that new policy, you will get a full refund.
• In all cases, if you cancel or withdraw from the weekend because of sickness, you will get a full refund.
• We ask that you report all cases of COVID to the organizers so that we may have a full understanding of how well our policies are working. We will keep any reporting strictly confidential, but we may make an anonymous report of only the number of cases that likely came out of the weekend.
• In the registration process you will need to agree to these policies.
