A Message from The Living Tradition Board Regarding
Reopening our Concerts, Jams, and Contra Dances in 2022

 

December 2021

We have certainly missed seeing all of you at our events and hope that we can host our concerts, jams, and contra dances in April and June 2022, assuming that the rate of COVID breakthrough cases remains low and that there is no holiday surge in new breakthrough cases.  We will skip the month of May to evaluate whether a sustained resumption of our events can begin in June 2022.

We will monitor the rate of breakthrough COVID cases from both the Los Angeles County and Orange County Departments of Health before making a final decision on when to resume our activities.  We hope this will be sooner rather than later, but we want to do our best to provide a safe environment for our performers, volunteers, and audience.  Thank you for your understanding and patience.

For Los Angeles County data, the California Dance Co-Operative takes the LA County Public Health statistics and converts them to an easy-to-read format.  To view this data on a Cal Dance Co-Op webpage, click the following link:

Event Volunteers Needed

To borrow a phrase, it takes a village to put on our events.  We must be certain that we have enough vaccinated volunteers to staff our events before we are able to reopen.

If you are fully vaccinated and interested in volunteering to help with either concerts or dances, please contact Ron Bloom at themacmammals@yahoo.com for concerts, and Patty McCollom at pattymccollom96@gmail.com for dances.  Additionally, we need an EXPERIENCED sound technician and volunteers willing to help with event security.

We are looking forward to seeing you in 2022!

All the best,

The Living Tradition Board
