Pk Coffee is generously offering up their space for us to move, groove and get down in a fun and engaging way. We hope that through a welcoming, judgement free environment mixed with rhythmic melodies, you may find that little voice that says, “Oh yeah…this is joy!”.
We all know movement and music have countless benefits such as presence, connection and endorphins. Dance YOU is inspired by Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms, aka The Wave. It is a free form, fun dance in a safe and inviting space. These are some guidelines to help us all be on the same page:
Honor people’s flow by not talking or using your cell phone.
Be consensual. Listen for a yes, respect a no.
Be free. Dance how you want. No judgment.
———————————
What to expect?
There will be food and non-alcoholic drinks, some for the taking and some more for purchase. When you arrive, we’ll take a few minutes to say hello, go over consent expectations, then we’ll get movin’! Dance, groove, do some yoga, just get in your flow zone. The idea here is to feel the music and feel alive in a moving form of meditation. Similar to ecstatic dance, the playlist will start with slower songs and work its way to a faster rhythm then slow down again to close. Music will go for about one hour.
Who will make this amazing playlist??
You! .. and a volunteer DJ. We’re asking everyone who RSVPs to list a couple of songs they want to contribute to a flowy groove; this could be anything from your favorite oldie to an instrumental beat. We just ask it’s appropriate for all ears and has a positive message. Send us what you have and the DJ will do their best to include as many songs as they can.
Why hold back?!
Come dance YOU, with us!
