From the AIFD Board President:  The City of Austin and Travis County are extending their "Stay Home – Work Safe" orders until May 8. A key addition to the order extension will be the requirement that the public wear fabric face coverings when conducting essential work or activities.
 From Denise: I hope you are all finding ways to deal with the continued stay-at-home policy. In this newsletter, we have listed several online opportunities for you to join in folk dance activities from your own home. You can learn new dances on Facebook or YOUTUBE videos, use ZOOM to join hundreds of dancers from California, or join groups from San Antonio, Houston, Austin and more, where you may see some of the dancers you’ve been missing. This is not a complete list, but are a sampling of what is available for you. Links to these events and more are posted on the AIFD Facebook Group.
