PCDC continues to monitor the latest science, guidelines from the CDC and state/local government, as well as community input.

Mask Policy

PCDC has authorized committees to make decisions about masking policies for their own events. The 1st Friday of the month English dance will be mask-required; all other regular Contra and English dances will be mask-optional. Check the upcoming dances information to verify status of a dance.

Vaccination Policy

PCDC no longer requires proof of vaccinnation, but we continue to encourage everyone to be vaccinated. While currently available COVID-19 vaccines no longer do much to prevent transmission, they continue to be effective for protecting oneself from more serious illness.

Keep yourself and our community safe:

  1. Do not attend if you feel ill or have recently been in close contact with someone who has Covid-19.
  2. Contact the organizers via email at igotcovid@portlandcountrydance.org should you develop symptoms of COVID-19 or test positive within a week of a PCDC event.
  3. Consider bringing a personal water bottle.
  4. Wash your hands at events.
