​DANCING IN MENDOCINO DURING CORONA

Picture
We dance the Last Sunday of each month from 3 to 5, at the Mendocino Recreation Center on School Street. We are creating a safe place to dance during these  covid times so please bring proof of vaccination and booster and wear a KN95 , surgical or N95 mask ( There will be extras  if you don't have one). We follow the Mendocino County guidelines for indoor gatherings, so if the cases spike in any given month we may change or modify our plans. Call or email Gwen for the latest ​ gwen@mcn.org, (707) 964-2411

If we cannot meet I have created a  four dance healing ritual you can do at home.

A Bit about the Mendocino Group

We’re a friendly group with a world encompassing spiritual bent, very welcoming to newcomers and with a “no mistakes just variations” acceptance of the learning process. We especially love welcoming dancing travelers,  and what better way to enrich a Mendocino weekend getaway than to end it with a Circle Dance afternoon?

The dance floor is excellent, and some of us dance barefoot. If you prefer shoes, wear ones that allow you to pivot and turn without stressing your knees. Wear what is comfortable. Most people just wear whatever; some like to dress up, especially in twirl worthy flowing garb.

We put out a basket and suggest $5-$10 or whatever you can afford. Nobody is turned away for lack of funds. We're a totally volunteer group. The money pays the rent that supports the Center.
 
 Some of our dancers come with a partner who ends up trying our simple opening dance and eventually turning into a circle dancer. Watching the dance is fine, too. We have had children of about 8 or 9 join in much of the dancing.  You’re the best judge of whether your child would be able to follow and participate

 Our group is dedicated to the proposition that everyone can Dance! one of our main teachers, Gwen, has chronic injuries and often sits out, but joins the ones she can with absolute joy.  Everyone who is aging and anyone who is active has past or present injuries to attend to and joints that should not be stressed. If there's a dance that might re-injure, ask Gwen about variations (she has many), or step back and enjoy watching it. There will always be a gentle dance coming up!
