Who
You and us together.
Hopefully, all humans with access to a computer.
Our goal is to spread DANCEBREAK!!! so that it
becomes the world's largest weekly dance party.
What
DANCEBREAK!!! is a weekly dance party of wildly diverse people moving and dancing “together.”
Everyone that is a part of DANCEBREAK!!! sends in song suggestions.
A weekly blind email is sent to in-boxes of the willing bodies of potential energy in hopes of
inspiration, motivation, unity, freedom, and movement. When the email arrives, you can stop what
you are doing for a brief DANCEBREAK!!! Take a moment. Close the door. Close your eyes.
Don’t worry. No one is watching. Even if they are, maybe you will inspire them.
Be with yourself, the music, the body, and with all of us.
Or you can gather your friends and have a party.
If it arrives when you are busy, mark it and get to it when you can.
Try to commit to being with us. 3-5 minutes a week seems reasonable to dedicate to
dancing with other human beings and moving your body's insides and outs to
sounds coming from our Earth and its people.
When
Once a week. Usually Wednesday or Thursday.
Where
Where ever you are when you get receive the email.
Your most common email is the suggested avenue for DANCEBREAK!!!
so that it interrupts your day and gives you a break from the norm.
How
DANCEBREAK!!! is a collaborative process! If you are dancing to DANCEBREAK!!!,
please find a few songs that you think would make a good offering to the group and send them in.
Or maybe you are in your car one day and you hear something that is incredible! Be in touch.
If you hear a great song, pass it along! Please no epic songs. 5 minutes tops.
There is no set criteria for kinds of songs other than that
they will inspire good movement for a diverse group of people.
You can find near any song you might want to share on YouTube.
People sign up. People spread the word.
We see how many people we can get dancing with us.
Emails addresses are kept private, never shared, or seen by others (of course).
The good people of the community support the works.
Please share your knowledge to help this
community thrive and achieve a common revolution of dancing!
Remember also, that the music will be diverse. What feeds some might not others.
But keep an open mind and body.
See what the music asks of you before you decide “it’s not your thing.”
You will find many surprises.
DANCEBREAK!!! is created and facilitated by
Rev. Scott Rudolph, a Unitarian Universalist minister in Pittsburgh.
Why
1. Human connection though unified individual multi-location dancing moments.
2. Diverse people coming together around something positive.
3. Hearing and sharing good music that makes us move in familiar and new ways.
4. Accountability to one another to dance and move.
5. Mental health.
6. Bodily health.
7. Spiritual Health.
8. Freedom
8. Awesomeness.
9. Boom.
History
In the year of some people’s lord two thousand and thirteen, many bodies did move with unheralded abandon and feet did press down then lift upward in rhythmic and sporadic gloriousness upon a dance floor in the town of St. Pete in the American state of Florida. Some ministers had gathered and at the frenzied culmination of the week, there was a fecund moment during this dance party in which the energy rose to such a level that it created anew. From that space was birthed a small notion that drifted aloft from this apex flash… this was the beginning of DANCEBREAK!!! In the fall of 2013, the first DANCEBREAK!!! happening happened through various emails across the country in many different offices, bedrooms, and other unknown locations in the inhabited part of Earth most recently known to some as the continental United States of America.
DANCEBREAK!!!'S history is still being written...
we hope you will join us in dancing.
