2020 Canceled Dances
In the face of the coronavirus pandemic, the PATMAD board canceled dances from March of 2020 onwards. 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.
We have been holding online virtual dances twice a month, and 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!
