Unconditional Dance Festival
Your Friends of the Unconditional Dance have exciting news! We are hosting an Unconditional Dance Festival this Summer! The festival is August 6th to 10th. Come to Harbin Hot Springs and dance with us in the sun, camp under the moon - without getting rained on!!! That's right, no soggy sleeping bags, no tattered tents, no sleeping with strangers just for the heat.
The theme for this festival is "Celebrate Your Being." We’ll have classes such as:
· Inika, with guests Val and Veronica: Aquatic Contact Improv
· Loren: Freefall, Breath and Movement Exploration
· Mellissa: Journey through Trance
· Mika: Drumming
· Rainah: Contact Improv
· Richard with guests: Quantum Light Breath
· Shannon: Kundalini Dance
· Tatsina: Belly Dancing and Veil Dancing
· Von: Hoola Hoops
· Patrick: Collaborative Dance Improv with a live pianist
· Live Music with Stephen Kent, Tasabasaba, and lots of live drumming (This means You!)
Be inspired by our talented team of DJs, including Dragonfly, Omer, RaRa, Sophia, Theo, and Zothea. We hope to see you here, and we hope you can welcome a friend or two into our unique dancing environment and community and help grow our dream.
For more information or to register, check out our website: www.thefud.org or call Regina at (707) 987-9592.
Look for
the next workshop listing update in June.
