Classes and Performances for 2022 (more coming!)...
(I'll create a more print friendly version closer to the date. )
PM Carla Monnich or post to the facebook group to add your class or performance
All events are at the main Pavilion unless otherwise noted

Thursday 8pm- Let's Get it Started!
Bring a treat and/or drink to share around at the Pavilion if you can, and wear your dancing shoes. Brings drums and other noisy things. You know what happens next.
If this is your first DID and you don't know any of the regulars, please introduce yourself to Carla, and she'll introduce you to someone who has volunteered to answer questions. If you're a veteran of DID, and would like to volunteer to answer newb questions, let Carla know so she can throw newbs at you. If you bring alcohol to share, please serve it yourself to people you know to be over 21 rather than leaving it on the table.

Friday 9pm DJ Miloš and the BPE
Balkan Party Experience creates an immersive experience for concert goers dancing to a barrage of Balkan folk-inspired contemporary dance, EDM, and trap music mixes accompanied by club lighting to immerse them in an altered state of consciousness in which their worries are left at the door as they are engulfed with a communal feeling of Kef or Kefi

If you want to try it out, be sure to bring good, high-impact running-type shoes! Anything that you would be happy to do a cardio workout in, or go running. I know that's not on everyone's DID packing list, so I thought I'd give you a heads (and hankies) up!
