Covid Safety for CD*NY Events

We all have a responsibility to help keep each other safe.

Full vaccination is required, including booster if you’re eligible for one. You will be asked to show proof of ID and vaccination at the door if it is your first time attending one of our dances. You may also send a picture of your vaccination info in advance to vax@cdny.org.

We are continually monitoring the status of COVID in NYC, and in order for us to maintain safe dancing, require that all dancers must wear N95, KN95 or an equivalent grade mask in order to dance with us. Masks must cover the mouth and nose at all times. There will be no refreshments.

Please don’t attend if you feel sick or if you were in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID within the past week. If you do test positive for COVID within a week of attending one of our dances, please let us know by emailing vax@cdny.org.

Events may be added or cancelled so be sure to check here or CDNY’s Dance Calendar for any last minute changes.

Supporting Our Musicians

With voluntary contributions from the CDNY community, the Board of Directors has established a special fund to support the musicians of CDNY who have lost income in the time of COVID-19. If you are a musician who’s been on our calendar and is interested in doing an online performance for pay, or if you would like to donate to such a fund please click HERE for more information.
