December - Happy Dancing Dayz!
 
As we settle into our inner world during the deep quiet of night, the light that pierces the dark flows through you all.   Happy Happy Holidays - in all the ways we celebrate - to you, my lovers of the dance.

Soleil says, "Check out the NEW! Dances." 
I have such gratitude for the breadth of our community.  These new dances (and more coming in January) show the great variety available to us.  I attended the first Secret Dance Church.  The DJ'd music fit my "Just Dance" mood perfectly.  On the flip side, the profound work in Resonance will complement my many other deeper moods.  Please try them all! 
 
Thank you to all who offer these many Dances in our community...
