*We are a ‘vaxxed-plus‘ event (see rules below). Masks are optional and most dancers choose to forego them.
*If you buy a ticket and can't come due to Covid illness, we will offer you a refund (minus processing fees) if requested before 12pm on Tuesday. Since there is so much uncertainty right now, which is affecting the viability of our events, some of our ticket holders have elected not to receive a refund, and instead to make a donation of their ticket price.

East Bay Community Dance is an all-vaccinated, “vaxxed plus” event. EBCD is pleased to offer a dance space for those who desire a fully-vaccinated dance experience. 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. In addition, you must be either boosted or have contracted covid at some point in the past. Proof of vaccination, booster and/or infection is required (i.e. positive PCR test results).
People who are unable to show required proof will not be admitted.
We look forward to dancing with you!

DJ DZ (Dan Zemelman) has been DJing and hosting dance events throughout the pandemic. It all started in Tyler Blank's tiny meadow where a small group of dancers gathered every week to dance together in community to the Zoom dance streams.
That morphed into Dan bringing a small bluetooth speaker to a park... and then a large sound system to an abandoned golf course public land trust.... to DJing and hosting 3 full on dance events a week - 2 in Marin (first at Mettacine, now at Body Vibe Studios) and the Tuesday Oakland EBCD dance!
DJ DZ cut his teeth on DJing twice a week for months and brings his 44 years experience as a professional musician (pianist) to the DJ platter! DJ DZ's music features an eclectic mix of styles including funk, EDM, pop, trap, dub, tribal and everything in between! The one thing you won't get is bad music!
Out of a challenging and difficult time comes a Phoenix rising out of the ashes.

**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 or exposure. Message us at ebcommunityspace@gmail.com. You MUST let us know by 12pm Tuesday day of. After that, there are NO refunds.
· 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.
