Hello friends and fellow dancers,
At our most recent Mount Vernon Contra Dance, we made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the Mount Vernon contra dances for the remainder of 2010 through Spring 2011. This decision was a consensus between the few dancers who were present and the band. It was the second month that we have had less than 12 dancers.
I have been asked to obtain feedback from all the dancers on our email list - thus this email to you. If you don't expect to ever participate in future contra dances, you can just delete this email. However, if you would like these dances to continue, please go to the following link and complete a very brief survey at surveymonkey.com.
The survey can be completed in just a few minutes and will be available only for a few weeks.
It has been a lot of fun over the last few years to dance with many of you, get to know some of you, and build connections with many people.
Best to you all and thanks for your feedback.
Janet Chandler
