Birmingham Footmad Returns to Dancing

Picture
​Out of concern for our dance community and in order to support coordinated efforts to slow the spread of Covid-19, the board of Birmingham Footmad has followed and will continue to follow  the guidelines of our parent organization, the Country Dance and Song Society (CDSS), and of the CDC. Due to the loosening of restrictions for fully vaccinated people by CDSS and the CDC, we have decided to resume our  monthly dancing starting July 10th and our Mentone dance weekend for fully vaccinated dancers. We make this decision knowing the controversies surrounding it.
Use the selection buttons below to read our COVID policy, CDSS COVID guidelines, and to register for our Mentone Dance Weekend. Come dance with us beginning July 10th!
Dancing to live music with FOOTMAD will make you smile until your cheeks ache, give you a great workout, and surround you with friendly people. We invite everyone — young and not-so-young, experienced and never-danced-before — to come join us. We'll teach you everything you need to know, so don't be shy. And if you would like a little preview of what happens at our dances, click here to see an "Absolutely Alabama" episode featuring Birmingham Footmad!
