From the AIFD Board President:

ATX Closer InfoUpdate from the City of Austin: PARD notified groups that utilize city recreational facilities operations are now suspended until April 30th. We will provide updates as they become available.

Denise FynmoreFrom Denise: We hope you are all well and holding up during this stressful time! Even though you may be stuck at home, that doesn’t mean you can’t dance! Check out our Facebook page where you can see music, dancing, and dance classes you can take in your living room. There is even a cool video of a man dancing with himself in a full length mirror and it’s incredible.

Also, please check out Shirley Johnson's Zoom concert on Friday, 4/10, 7:30-8:30 central time. Please stay safe, stay home, stay healthy!
