Inspiration for Perspiration: No-fee weekly freestyle dancing gathering

WHAT?

A healthy way to get and give dancing inspiration, and enjoy some perspiration if that's your aim. No fee, no registration, no "steps," and plenty of space to move in a special cul-de-sac with shade and sun and no traffic. A diversity of high-tempo, uplifting music for the duration, playing from speakers. No songs that promote violence, hatred, substance abuse, prejudice, or objectification of people. 10-feet-spacing unless mutually agreed.
