Sweetly Surrendering to the Summer Season!
The expansive energy of this season is upon us!  We are being invited to open wide to the precious blue skies, the fullness of the sun, and the glorious warmth of the long days.


Current Events
Dance Temple is continuing with 2 weekly dance offerings: 

Monday Evenings 
7-9pm,Beaver Point Hall, $10-15.  
As the heat rises so does the number of dancers.  Monday nights are a great option if you want more spaciousness on the dance floor and room to move and get creative.

Thursday Evenings 
7-9pm,Beaver Point Hall, $10-15.  
And of course, if you want to get swept into the wild energy of a full dance floor then this one's for you!

Wednesday's Dance For Health
We are on pause for the summer.  We will resume in the fall.  Thanks to all of the dancers that came out and see you again after summer!

A Note About Summer Heat
Our hearts are warm, and also our bodies!  A reminder to stay hydrated, bring a towel and/or an extra T-shirt for sweat in consideration for other dancers.  

A Note About Children
On Thursday evenings we now have a playmate for the kids when they’re not up for dancing.  This is not a childcare or babysitting service – your kids are still solely your responsibility.  You are required to keep an eye out for your kids and check on them regularly.  Dance Temple is offering compensation for this service, and in the spirit of acknowledgement and appreciation, we are also asking for tips /donations for the big energy this requires. We'd suggest 2-5$ per evening.  Thanks for helping us hold the diversity of our community in the dance!

As we dance through this summer season may our connections to ourselves and each other ripple out and create waves of peace and compassion in our world. 

Wishing you all the ease and beauty of this time! “Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is not mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.”
-Havelock Ellis

In dancing spirit ~
