PLEASE NOTE: THE SEPTEMBER 20 DANCE HAS BEEN CANCELLED!

Zoom Meet & Greet

SEPTEMBER 20 - 4:00 pm

First, for this month: We will meet again on Zoom on Sunday, September 20.  You should receive an email with details.

Second, for next month: Covid 19 numbers are going down. The idea of the ACZA is a community that celebrates the Louisiana culture and dance. Zoom is okay but to be a community in person is so much better. So we are planning a picnic (with social distancing and masks) to continue to build community. We will only be reserving a place. You will be responsible for your chairs, food, drink, etc. We are planning to meet somewhere around Decatur from 11 AM to 1 PM in the third week of October. A weekday has been suggested since there would be a smaller crowd. We are open to suggestions for a place/date at This email address is being protected from spambots.

For Zoom this month:
Last month we heard from dancers we had not seen before. Who will we hear from this month? The main topic is simply to meet and talk with each other. We also want to talk about the possibility of a picnic in October. In addition to maybe playing music, here are a few other possible topics of conversation: 1. Favorite Dance venues  2. Favorite Bands 3. Any September birthdays?

This meeting will host 100 people. Only one person can speak at a time, but in the chat section, you may chat with everyone (everyone in the meeting sees your chat) or chat with one person (to have private chats).

Tell us what you think – Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.; Phone: 404-462-2765.

You are missed!!! Please join us on September 20 at 4 PM for an hour.

Coming soon: Picnic time in the third week of October from 11 AM to 1 PM.
