Hawaii Line Dance Newsletter 8/28/2021

[Jeffrey Callejo Jr]

Aloha line dancers of Hawaii and beyond! I do hope you all are doing well!
First off, I wanted to touch base with you in regards to the Hawaii Line
Dance Festival (HLDF). The State of Hawaii is seeing an all-time high in
Covid-19 cases. While Kauai has seen its highest numbers to date, luckily,
we are still the lowest in the state. At this time the HLDF is still
scheduled to proceed as planned! We have gotten approval from the Kauai
Emergency Management Agency (KEMA) to proceed with the event on October 1 &
2, 2021. That said, The County of Kauai has implemented the following
requirements for the event to proceed:



1) All attendees and volunteers need to present a copy of their Covid
Vaccination Card upon entry. Proof of vaccination shall mean participants
provide

documentation that they have received all doses required for full
vaccination of their respective vaccine type, and have cleared 14 days from
their last dose (9/17/2021 or prior). If you are not vaccinated OR your
last vaccination dose is after 9/17/2021, then you must submit a negative
Covid-19 test result that is timestamped within 24 hours of the event. Free
Covid-19 testing is available at the Kauai War Memorial Convention Hall Mon
- Fri from 8am to 3:30pm located at 4191 Hardy Street. Lihue, Hi 96766. Or
at the Lihue Pharmacy Group, 7 days a week from 9am to 5pm located at 4491
Kolopa Street. Lihue, Hi 96766 (next to State Farm). You will receive your
results at these 2 locations on the same day you test.



2) Masks must be worn at all times while inside the building unless you are
actively eating or drinking.



3) There will be lots of space for social distancing including the dance
floor area. Hand Sanitizer and Sanitizing Wipes will be available for
everyone to use, but we also encourage you to bring your own.



At least 95% of our line dance community is made up of Kupuna (Elderly,
Senior Citizens). We must all do our part to provide a safe and healthy
environment for the event and its attendees.



On a lighter note, here are the dances you can expect to be played during
social dancing. The list is in alphabetical order and does not represent
the order in which songs will be played.

soon. So keep an eye out for that!
