Welcome to Spring Dance Party at Expresso Yourself Coffeehouse! Join us for International Folk Dancing with The Larger Circle Band and dance caller Jacob Bloom. Plus complimentary desserts and coffee & tea. Share a song, story, or poem in the open mic. Learn to do international folk dances! Join in the fun! Adults, teens, and children welcome.
Professional dance caller Jacob Bloom will work with beginners and experienced dancers. Jacob’s goal in doing dance calling is for beginners to have an ‘aha’ moment of understanding the dance pattern and enjoy the dance.
Audience members will be encouraged to participate in the open mic. Each participant will have 3 minutes to share a song, story, or poem. The theme of the evening will be Environmental Justice. Topics include, but are not limited to: uplifting voices from disenfranchised communities affected by climate change and environmental injustice, acting with respect toward the rest of creation, assuring access to green amenities in urban areas, ecological protection for communities, economic exploitation causing suffering in people, and the process of remoteness or cultural distancing.
Funds will go to an environmental justice group, GreenRoots. an organization that empowers residents in frontline communities in terms of food justice and climate resilience.
Volunteer bakers will be making special treats for everyone. And there might even be a special surprise. Coffee and tea.
Adults, teens, and children welcome.
