For now, there will not be food or drink served at East Bay Community Dance. However, The Well Organic Kitchen is perfectly situated next door, and serves drink and food until 10pm!

Tickets are $20 to $22 pre-sale (or cash/Venmo at the door)

**There is limited capacity at EBCS, and we have sold out almost every time, so it is imperative to get advance tickets!

East Bay Community Dance is an all-vaccinated event. EBCD is pleased to offer a dance space for those who desire a fully-vaccinated dance experience. This means that you must have received the second shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or one shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, two weeks before you attend. There are three ways to show your vaccination status:

1. Bring your completed vaccination card to the dance.

2. Go to https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov to get an electronic version of your vaccination record, and show it at the door. You might want to save a screenshot of the record your receive on your phone.

3. Upload a photo of your vaccination card via our Vaccination Record Upload Form at: https://forms.gle/2NaXSvNrx3Vr9JU37.

Once we have reviewed your card, we will add your name to our list of dancers who have been vaccinated and no longer need to show proof of vaccination status at the door.

People who are unable to show proof of vaccination will not be admitted.

We look forward to dancing with you!
Dan and David

**Guidelines

· EBCD will Continue.

We will hold East Bay Community Dance this Tuesday and in future weeks as long as conditions don’t worsen significantly and Alameda County doesn’t change its regulations and guidance.

· Events are Potentially Risky.

We believe everyone attending should be aware that large gatherings like EBCD are not without risk. Attendance is a choice. Mask-wearing is optional, but encouraged if it helps you to feel safer.

· Cases Among the Vaccinated are Generally Mild.

Cases being spread among vaccinated people with normal immune systems are generally very mild, which is why we feel it’s okay to hold the dance. However, even a mild case of covid requires 10 days of isolation, and Covid can be passed to unvaccinated and immunocompromised people with serious consequences. So every attendee at EBCD should evaluate the risks for themselves.

· Refunds

If you don’t think you are going to be able to come, please don’t buy a ticket! We often sell out, so it is possible to sell your ticket on the Facebook event page the day of usually. We do offer limited refunds for those who cannot come because of a Covid infection. Message us at [email protected]

· Stay Home if You’re Even Slightly Sick.

Please do not attend EBCD if you have any symptoms that could be related to Covid-19, including cough, runny nose, congestion, fever, chills, aches or nausea.
