TL;DR Little Rock social dancing groups are still holding dances, people are getting sick, they don't care, and they are still holding dances.

Edit/Update: Thank you kind stranger for the gold. I don't deserve it. More bad news though. The New Year's party is another full 3 group event. Super spreaders. And another pic from the "secret" Facebook.

I've ranted about this before. These groups are still holding open to the public dances indoors with despite being shutdown by the Arkansas Department of Health back in July. They announced on Facebook the ADH shut them down, but quickly deleted it saying poor ticket sales was the cause of the cancellation. They just don't care, but they don't want to get caught again. How do I know they don't want to get caught? The organization that controls these three groups told the groups "no more advertising in public on Facebook." So the groups are using direct emails and private member-only Facebook groups to advertise the dances.

The groups are: Little Rock Country Dancers, Little Rock Bop Club, and Ballroom Latin & Swing (BLS) Dance Association. The umbrella organization controlling it all is Central Arkansas Dance Association (CADA). CADA is made up of two board members from each club.

"So what's social dancing and why is bad during COVID19?" you may ask yourself.

Social dancing is where a bunch of people get together and dance with each other. It's not like the dancing you'd find at the Electric Cowboy (mostly). These are mostly partner dances (like Waltz, Salsa, various Swing dances, Foxtrot, etc). It is impossible to social distance in a partner dance because you're literally holding another person inches, if even that, from you. There's near constant hand to hand contact at a bare minimum. Once a song is over the DJ actively encourages you to find a new partner (the social part). At a normal pre-COVID19 dance I could easily dance with more than 30 different people. And as I used to joke "If you've danced with 3 people in here, you've danced with the whole room" because no one washes hands (and I doubt they're using hand sanitizer every 3 minutes currently). That joke isn't amusing now.

So why I am livid? Because I care about a lot of these people and don't want them to get sick or, God forbid, die needlessly. Or get others sick and potentially die. They've acknowledged people being sick in t

36-year-old Shequenia Burnett and 34-year-old Terkessa Wallace were close childhood friends who would later tragically share a similar fate. On January 15, 2014, Shequenia's mother, Sharon Jiles, contacted the North Little Rock Police Department to tell them she had not seen Shequenia since January 9.

Shequenia's mother told authorities that Shequenia's aunt, Pamela Norris, went to check on Shequenia and found the door to her apartment at 800 N. Beech Street wide open. Pamela did not call police but spent the night in the apartment because the door would not lock and she did not want anyone to break in. Worried about her daughter, Sharon told police that Shequenia was a frequent drug user and could be staying in College Station. There is a neighborhood by the airport by the airport called College Station so it is possible the reference is to the neighborhood and not the city in Texas.

The next day, Terkessa Wallace was reported missing as well; she dropped her 5 year old son at her cousin's house and has not been seen since. Terkessa's cousin, Tracey Holmes, told police that Terkessa had been dealing with drug addiction and depression issues and may have left town. Another family member told police that Terkessa was supposed to stay with family in Texas but never arrived.

Tracey was concerned because there were unreported domestic violence issues between Terkessa and her boyfriend, Taurus Whitley. Taurus told police he had not seen Terkessa in several days but thought he saw her driving near Pike Avenue but could not be sure it had been her. He told police that Terkessa had been dealing with drug addiction and depression since her two sons were in prison but that he never knew her to leave town without calling her family or children.

Police did not connect the cases initially, but after subpoenaing the phone records, there was evidence of Shequenia and Terkessa communicating just before they disappeared. Detective Gary Jones said he believes they were together as the calls were pinging off the same tower. The two called and texted each other leading up to their disappearance; Detective Jones commented that "obviously it's strange, you begin to think, 'Is foul play involved? What could've happened? Where were they going? What was going on that night?' Just trying to piece everything together."

Shequenia's sister Shanisa and their father Buford described Shequenia as a "well-rounded, talented sketch artist who adored her children, family and faith" high
