We keep us safe, COVID is not over.

Far UV-C light on the dance floor. ADA accessible venue. Dance space and chill out space available. If you plan to wear shoes onto dance floor, please wear clean non-scuff shoes or be prepared to wear shoe covers. Wheelchairs and other mobility devices are welcome on the dance floor, along with socks, slippers, or bare feet. Refrain from wearing scented products.

If you feel sick or like you might be getting sick, please do not attend. If you have had COVID recently, do not attend unless you are testing negative and 10 days have passed since your first symptoms or positive test.

There is no food or drink for sale at the event. There is a water fountain and reusable bottle refill. No drinks or food on the dance floor. There is space to eat outside in front of the venue, if you want to bring a snack. Kowbird is also next door and open until 9, with outside seating.

Finally, consent is key. If you want to dance up close with someone, ask them. No means no, so if they say no, keep it moving and grooving in your own space. Ask for consent before taking photos or video.

We are committed to keeping a no bullshit space. Please find a volunteer if you experience or see something unsafe.
