2/19 Benefit for Haiti

On Friday, February 19th, we invite you to come dance, to honor the spirit of the people of Haiti during these difficult times, and to raise funds to help the work of healing and rebuilding being done by the Haitian and international volunteers with AMURT (for more information, see http://amurthaiti.org)

We at Dance Friday keep those in need in our minds and hearts always, but on occasion we try, as a community, to give more than just our consciousness. All net proceeds from the evening will be donated towards AMURT's Haitian Disaster Response.

8:00 - 9:30: Margaux DJs the beginning of our evening
9:30 PM Middle Circle: Images and Stories from Haiti - Bearing Witness
10:00 PM: Music from Haiti and the Haitian Diaspora with DJ Prakash and live music with John Viking, Lisa Bouchie and Haitian drummers
11:00 - 12:00: Andrew keeps us dancing 'til the end

Feel free to just show up, but it's always nice if you RSVP on facebook

Christmas Dance

Yes.

Christmas falls on Friday this year.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Dance.

We will be warming up and dancing First set to tracks provided by Fair Robin, queen of Dance Friday. Second and Third sets will be laid down with feeling and intention and a whole lot of boogie-down by Tim, the tasty DJ Pyneapple, serving upside down beats whipped to a delicious froth. Anara will be our facile facilitator for the evening.

Bring a delectable if you care to share.

Bring unwanted gifts to donate to the local shelters, too, if you feel so moved.

Dance to celebrate. Dance to escape. Dance the indulgent holiday calories away. Dance to commune. Dance to share. Dance your gift.

We welcome you.
