In normal times, this is a series of monthly events attracting over 100 dancers. This was a "restart" event and the intention is that there will be another dance in October and presumably monthly thereafter. Differences from normal included:
- A different hall with around a quarter of the floor area of the usual spaces. I asked the organiser if this was deliberate but she said not. .The usual spaces were not available.
- There were nearly always 32 dancers on the floor and no more than 40. This was low compared to the usual 100+ but fitted the hall well.
- The large number of students normally seen were absent but this is probably because it's still the vacation.
- It was my impression that the proportion of the very oldest dancers was less and the that the middle-aged were more prominent.
- I saw 3 masks being worn by 20-somethings
- Everyone danced normally but perhaps with a little more enthusiasm and joy than normal.
