	Contra Dancing in Corvallis CFS contra dances have resumed! – Contra calendar Contra Dances Fall 2023 CFS contra dance evenings in Corvallis will resume their usual schedule this fall on the first and third Saturdays of each month! UPDATE: We will be dropping our COVID-19 requirements for masking and proof of vaccination for all regular Saturday dances until mid-October, with the possibility of reinstating them at any time in response to public health recommendations and other contra dance communities’ policies. We will reassess this temporary policy in mid-October before deciding upon a policy for the rest of fall and winter. An email address for COVID exposure notifications and waivers for CFS and Gatton Hall will continue to be required at this time, just once at the start of the 2023-24 dance season. Please read the revised Covid contra dance policy, which will be further updated soon. Check the calendar for dates and specific COVID precautions for each dance. All dates are subject to change without much advance notice due to COVID and weather. We’ll do our best. In addition to regular Saturday dances, we also host the Corvallis Contra Weekend each year on Presidents Day Weekend, a full weekend of contra dance, music and community. Stay tuned for more information about CCW 2024 this fall.
