The shoe policy at Morningside Baptist Church has become stricter since the 2005 floor replacement. What the Hey is required to adhere to this policy. From the CCD web site:

*  All dancers should bring clean shoes, carried in and not worn outside, to change into for dancing.  *  We will inspect your dance shoes when you enter the gym. *  Dance shoes must be free from grit, dust from the last dance, etc.  Please brush them off before putting them away or before using them on our floor. *  Soles and heels of smooth or soft leather, or non-marking rubber/vinyl, are strongly advised. *  Bare feet are OK, as are socks – but do be careful! *  Heels should be at least 1-1/2 inches across.  Low heels are much preferred! *  For more info: http://www.contradance.org/ShoesQ_A.html

What the Hey is produced by ContraQuad: Pam Eidson, Lalah Manly, Bruce Tarnopolski, Seth Tepfer (a.k.a. a group of people who like to dance).

The fine print:

What the Hey? is not a CCD event. Snacks will be provided. No alcohol in the gym. Please no marking soled shoes in the gym. Please no WMD in the gym. Limited decorations will be provided. Contra vendors will be available upon request. ContraQuad will not be held liable for the actions of people under the influence of contra dance music. The Surgeon General has determined that contra dancing is highly addictive and beneficial to your health. Please note that contra dancing over extended periods of time may result in the following side effects: dizziness, feelings of euphoria or ecstacy, dance nirvana, out of body experiences, intense joy, exhaustion, contentment, understanding of Zen Koans, out of control purchasing of music CDs, and general feelings of happiness with the universe as a whole. Please use without caution.
