Brent’s Bunch Dancing Postponed to Thursday, Feb 17

Hi Brent's Bunch Members & Friends.

I apologize for the late notice, but as you have probably heard on the news, the BC public health orders were updated again this week and now prevent us from dancing until at least February 16, 2022.

Under the revised orders, group exercise is possible but basically, all individuals must be at least 2 meters from each other and there is a maximum of 25 people per room. Also, the City of Burnaby is not renting the Burnaby Lake Pavilion again until this order is lifted.

Therefore, our next possible dance night is Thursday, Feb 17, 2022. I'll get back to you that week with any updates.

Unfortunately, I'm not available for virtual "Zoom" dancing this week or next but will let you know if I resume this in February.

I hope you are all staying well and that we will be able to get together again sometime soon.

Best Regards,
Brent

Virtual Mainstream Square Dancing with Brent - Cancelled for Thursday Jan 13

Hi Everyone,

It was great to see so many of you over Zoom at our virtual dance last week.  Unfortunately, I'm feeling a little under the weather today so have decided to cancel our planned virtual dance for tomorrow, Jan 13.  

I'm waiting to hear about BC public health updates as to whether we can dance in person again after Jan 18.  I'll let you know as soon as I find out.  If we are not able to dance in person on Thursday, Jan 20, I'll offer a virtual dance that night.  

Stay tuned and I look forward to seeing you again soon,

Brent

 

Brent’s Bunch Dancing Postponed to Thursday, Jan 20

Hi Brent's Bunch Members & Friends,

Happy New Year everyone! 

I hope you all had a good Christmas, celebrated the holiday season as best you could under the current public health orders, and are doing well.  It looks like 2022 will be another year where we will have to keep our plans flexible and have patience with the ever-changing public health landscape affecting our social, dance, and travel activities. 

Dance Schedule Change

As you have likely heard, under the BC public health orders issued in late December, adult indoor individual and group fitness or exercise activities are currently not permitted.  This includes participating in group exercise, fitness classes, and dance classes, and therefore includes square and round dancing.  This restriction is in place until January 18, 2022, so the City of Burnaby has cancelled our rental of the Burnaby Lake Pavilion for Jan 6 and 13.  If the restrictions affecting square dancing are not extended, our next scheduled dance will be Thursday, January 20.  I'll let you know by email the status of this dance as soon as I know, which I assume should be at least by Jan 18.  

Brent's Bunch Membership

For those that have said they would like to support the club with pre-purchased dancing membership, please hold your payment for now and let's see what happens by Jan 18.  We have the option of extending our dancing through May so when we know if we can resume dancing in January I will survey our members to decide if we shorten the season or extend it into May.     

Virtual ZOOM Dancing

I'd like to stay in touch and give us all chance to keep active so I will offer virtual, one or two couple dancing, via ZOOM on Thursday Jan 6 & 13.  Jan 6 will have an Elvis music theme as we had planned for this week already.  I'll email you details for the ZOOM dancing soon.  

 

Best Regards,

Brent
