Dear members and friends. The RESDC Board would like to wish you all a Happy New Year! We will not have any monthly dances through March; We’re taking it one or two months at a time. Our BOD met tonight via Zoom to discuss (among other things), ideas on how we can continue to stay connected to our members and dance friends. ... Watch this space for an invite to join us on a Zoom meetup very soon. In the meantime the video below might give you some new moves to practice. Sincerely your BOD, Dave Cooper, Susan Lombard, Danny Christian, Dave Pankratz, Denise Suzuki, Vera Harvey, Marilyn Carsner and Bonita Gordon

We support your decision! "Unfortunately, due to the State of California’s restrictions and guidelines in regards to the pandemic and our own wish to protect the health and safety of our attendees and those they are in contact with, we are canceling Monterey Swingfest 2021."

In case you’re wondering: Some day, we’ll hit the dance floor again. And it will be glorious. As to when that will feel safe again, there’s a hopeful precedent in what happened a few years after the 1918 flu pandemic.... That’s when the Charleston exploded, and the Lindy Hop. Swing dancing emerged, rooted in those and other dances popularized in African American communities. The dance craze accelerated throughout the 1920s and beyond. The flu pandemic had killed more than a half-million Americans in 1918-1919, but not long afterward, people packed Harlem’s newly opened Savoy Ballroom capacity 4,000 and others like it across the country. Not to mention those who flocked to basement clubs and dives. We just have to be patient, Newhouse says. For the social-dance scene, we can’t be first out of the gate. But it’s not ‘no dancing’ just ‘not yet’ for dancing. Source: Washington Post See more
