Hey All!

We'll play some spacious reverberating vibes infused music for warming up from 8:30-9. Come stretch, meditate, dance in slo mo like butoh Joe, and Yoga your way towards full on Dancing tunes, to be sprung from 9-11. We'll gather in Community for a brief circle at 11.

Meanwhile, check out this study, letting us know that dance, and specifically making dance choices improvisationally, makes us smarter and is %25 more effective than crossword puzzles in staving off dementia. Wow.

February 3 Shambhala Dance Hall

2012-01-31T10:06:00.000-08:00

Hi All,

It's time again for the Dance Hall! Last month we had a rockin' dance and beautiful healing ceremony and raised almost $400 dollars for Heidi McClure's family. Thank you to Ann Garvin, Stewart Hoyt, Amy Eberhardt,Teresa Schoendorf, and Ronak Mehta for their support with that dance; and to the very many who helped in spreading the word. Come join us this Friday, and let us know if you know of a photographer who could lend their skills to getting a few good photos of the dance. We would be grateful! May the New Year be treating you well.

See you on the Dance Floor,

Shakti
