The Worcester Contra Dance has resumed in-person dancing. All dances takes place from 7:30–10:30 PM on the second Saturday of each month from September through June. The dances are located in the gymnasium at Wesley United Methodist Church, 114 Main St. in Worcester, MA. Gymnasium access is on the left side of the building when viewed from Main Street. The admission fee is $8 to $10 for adults, $6 to $8 for students, and $20 per family.
Additional requirements for admission of all attendees are as follows:
- Documented proof of either full vaccination or a negative COVID test. The COVID test must be taken no more than three days prior to the dance. Photos of either vaccination cards or said test results will be accepted as proof.
- Per City of Worcester mandate, masks are to be worn at all times by everyone in the building.
- Each attendee must provide their name, email address, and cell phone number for contact-tracing purposes.
The gymnasium where the dance is being held is quite large for the expected number of attendees. We will augment that by placing box fans in front of open windows in at least two locations to provide for the circulation of fresh air. The facility also has several ceiling fans which will assist in that process.
If you have further questions regarding our dance or the admission requirements, please contact us. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at our dances.
