listings for these states and there is no reason for me to duplicate their efforts as far as i know there are no regular dances or events in mississippi south dakota or wyoming but i have created pages if something changes in the future covid 19 as of january 1 2021 the dance listings should be fairly up to date including whether dances are canceled although i am behind in keeping up to date with festivals weekends etc at this point my assumption is that all dances and events are canceled unless they are virtual on line since we ve entered the 2020 2021 season for many series and they never posted dates information about evening afternoon dances is getting thin also note that some dance weekends etc are already postponing events from winter spring of 2021 to similar dates in 2022
