Music is a language that can carry you deep into the subconscious, beyond barriers you never knew you had, and into colorful worlds of synesthesia where your body becomes the instrument of bliss. The intent is uplifting, dancing that’s good for you on all levels, and a portion of each dance goes to a different local nonprofit each time, so you can feel good about taking steps towards building a healthy community as well. We ask that there be no talking, phones, shoes, food, or beverages on the dance floor, as all our events at the People’s Theatre are drug and alcohol-free. —— No Shoes • No Phone • No Words • Just Dance See less
