Adding Afternoon Dances on 4th Sundays

Posted by on

In 2025, we will add afternoon contra dances on most 4th Sundays. We're excited about this idea for a few reasons:

  • more dancing!
  • dancers who can't attend sunday evening dances might be able to join us in the afternoon
  • we'll be able to book more callers and musicians
  • ending earlier opens up opportunities for post-dance social events

Schedule

We will keep the length of the beginner lesson and the dance the same as our evening dances, just shifted earlier:
Time Event
4:00pm Beginner Lesson
4:30pm Dance Begins
7:30pm Dance Ends

We'll host these 4th Sunday dances every month in the first half of 2025, with two exceptions:

  • No dance April 27th, to avoid NEFFA
  • No dance May 25th, because the hall will be used by Contact Improv Boston for their annual May Jam event
These dances will be held in addition to our established 1st and 3rd Sunday dances, which we will continue to host at their regular evening times.

Mask Policy

These new afternoon dances will alternate mask-required and mask-optional per month, starting required in January:
Date Mask Policy
January 26 Required
February 23 Optional
March 23 Required
June 22 Optional

More info on our covid policy decision for 2025 is available here.

Volunteers Needed!

To make this a sustainable change, we will need volunteer support from our community. If you'd like to be more involved with BIDA, check out our page on getting involved.
