Like other communities we use Facebook and phone calls to notify the community that a dance is cancelled. The determination is made by our board, it is typically based on other area closings, particularly the cancellation of classes at the nearby University of Tennessee. If we have scheduled out-of-town talent for the evening, they will be paid, however our local talent is not paid for a cancellation; since we dance on Monday evening it is unlikely that we have knocked the out of another gig.
