Location: Midway Farms, 6980 US-20, Albany, OR 97321
No reservations needed. Just show up and dance!
Schedule:
We encourage you to arrive early for community chit-chat time and to shop for delicacies at the farmstand! Otherwise, please arrive by 2:20pm, so we can have everyone parked in time for our volunteers to enjoy the entire main DJ set.
2:00pm: warm-up music
2:25pm: Brief community welcome
2:30pm–4:00pm: Main DJ set with DJ Baron von Spirit
4:00pm: closing /integration
Suggested donation: $15–20 (cash only). Nobody turned away for lack of funds. Your donation helps support Midway Farms, the DJ, equipment maintenance, and other production costs.
Covid Safety:
• Masks are optional for outdoor dance.
• 6 feet of social distancing is required, except when you have consent to approach someone, whether for a hug, a contact dance, or simply dancing in close proximity. High flying contact, wild dancing, and/or darting across the dance space tend to breach that consent, so you need to be particularly conscientious if your dance tends towards any of those styles.
• Do not attend if you have any symptoms of covid or have had recent contact with anybody who has covid symptoms.
• If you bring children, you must keep them close to you at all times (no roaming).
What to bring:
• water and snacks
• sturdy shoes for dancing on the packed dirt road
• layers for variable weather
• Optional: covid mask
• Optional: small tarp and blanket (or other small ground cover) for a personal dance/chill spot
• Optional: flow toys
• Optional: sun hat & sunscreen
Ecstatic Dance Guidelines:
Ecstatic Dance is a practice of movement meditation, it's not a party. We all agree to abide by the following agreements when we're in the dance space.
