Though we can't dance together, we can do other things. Please help save lives!

Here's information about our upcoming American Red Cross blood drive. Schedule an appointment.

AACTMAD recently sent message to members stating (wisely) that all in person dances have been cancelled through the end of 2020.

However, there are several options for virtual concerts, jams, and dances. Please check the AACTMAD FB page, AACTMAD calendar, and CDSS.

Please stay safe and protect others!

We are gathering information on online events for the dance and song community, and we'll post them here as soon as they are available.

We regret to inform you that the AACTMAD Board has decided it is in the interest of public health to cancel or postpone all AACTMAD events through the end of May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that this can be frustrating or discouraging for those that have allowed dancing and music to become such an integral part of their life. We just have to pause for a short period to ensure the safety of not only ourselves, but of our community as well. We will be sending an additional email at a later date should the cancellation of additional events beyond May occur.

Below are a few useful links from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Country Dance and Song Society as well as the state of Michigan regarding COVID-19:

Please feel free to reach out to me personally or the AACTMAD Board of Directors at [email protected] should you have any questions or concerns.

Please be safe as we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Best,
