	Parkada was started in July 2020 in response to dancers' desire to find a way to return to dancing in person as opposed to solely over Zoom. During the initial summer period, the session was held in the late afternoon from 5:45pm-8:00pm. The time was adjusted in the fall to 3:00pm-5:30pm and again in the winter to 12:30pm-3:30pm so as to remain during daylight hours. The time was again adjusted for the spring to ~~its current~~ 3:00pm-6:00pm as the sunset ~~continues~~ to get later.
