Happy People Dancing

Greetings all happy dancers!

Many of you (I’m sure) have seen the videos from “Where the hell is Matt.” And if not, you are in for a treat. The 2012 video is really great and shows the evolution of his dancing around the world. He is getting larger and larger groups in his videos with awesome moves!

The 2012 video even has a group in Boise dancing! I signed up on his website and will hear if he is in the area again.

Here’s a link to watch the video: http://youtu.be/Pwe-pA6TaZk(link is external)

Enjoy that!

Dance Videos

So it’s funny, I’ve been having this dream of doing something similar with all our dance circles. The idea is to pick a dance, and then have it filmed, from the center of the circle, in all the dance communities through the region. And then do the same dance at Lava with a big group, and put all the clips together into a Youtube video.

Then I went down to Boise and was playing guitars with Premdaya and Elizabeth… and turns out that Elizabeth not only has the same idea, but took a shot at trying to make it happen at Wilderness Dance camp! Must be a good idea.

What do you all think? Want to try it?

8 weeks to Lava!

I looked at the calendar and we are only eight weeks from the December Lava! Please let us know if you are coming and ideally get yourself “officially” signed up. We need to start planning with our cook.

Oneness Project has given the “Lava Project” some seed money that we are wanting to use for local advertising. We are under the gun for that and would appreciate any ideas folks may have for good venues. Please call or email with any good advertising venues in your area.

Also, if there is some way we can help you bring a friend, please let us know.

Saturday meeting

It’s really important to get as many folks as possible to this next Lava as we are going to have a meeting on Saturday to talk about where we want to go from here. We are committed to making the Lava dances affordable for everyone, and to up the juice in any way we can! We have a bunch of ideas about how to make that possible, and really really need community input.

Here are some of the areas we’ve been thinking about:

  • Changing the food structure to reduce costs
  • Making better deals with the local motels
  • Carpools and room sharing
  • Using the Lava gathering to help increase numbers of dancers in local circles
  • Running some Dance training (or more like Dance Juicing!) to to ‘up’ the energy in local circles
  • And more ideas from you!

New Dancers

We are looking for ways to find more dancers! We’ve been dancing locally, and in Lava, for decades now… and very few local people know what we do at all. Let’s get the word out!

Enough for now!

Hope to see you soon in Lava,

Connie, Wayne and the crew
