In the face of the coronavirus pandemic, the PATMAD board canceled dances from March of 2020 onwards (including this year's Medley Marathon). We will be monitoring the pandemic and city and state regulations, and deciding when the general risks are appropriately low to resume dancing in person. Community members should assess their own risk. The canceled dances are listed separately. The online virtual dances we have been holding twice a month are listed below. SPUDS, Philly's phabulous open contradance band, has been holding online tune swaps twice a month. We will make our best effort to reschedule canceled out-of-town bands. Stay safe and healthy! |
