Dance & Drum in central VA?

topic posted Mon, March 3, 2008 - 1:40 PM by  Maymunah
Several years ago, I hosted a dance and drum on Sundays in Powhatan County, Virginia. I stopped for a variety of reasons and am now interested in starting up again. I want to know if there is enough interest to do this at my yoga school, which would allow for a much larger, empty room than at my house. I do both SCA and modern raqs. The purpose is to share and grow as a community. There would be no formal instruction, but in the past folks have been great about helping beginners.

They are willing to let us use the space on Sundays 3-5PM for a $5 a head optional donation. There is no alcohol allowed, but snacks may be had in the lobby/waiting room. The main class room is carpeted and plenty large enough. There are toilets and a small space to change clothes in.

This would be at Healthy Life Yoga on Rt 60 in the Sycamore Square shopping center zipcode 23113. This location is a little more than an hour from Charlottesville.

The main advantage to this location is the size of the room, it's a quiet shopping center, lots of parking. However, you can't have a cookout afterwards as you can at my place.

Anybody interested? Let me know and I will try to schedule one Sunday a month.

      For anyone coming from Charlottesville you go
      I-64 East to Route 288 South
      288 South to Route 60 Midlothian turnpike East.
      (Midlothian tpk is the second exit after you cross the river)
      Follow Midlothian tpk into the village of Midlothian Only about 1.25 miles on left.

      If you see Sams club and Wally World (Walmart) you went too far.

        Do you have my phone number? or email? alSiqilliyah at gmail dot com.

        I have not scheduled this yet with the yoga school. One suggestion was to have a longer block of time but fewer sessions. I am thinking two sundays or one sunday a month. What sundays are you free in the next two months? Let's start there. If I have one good lead drummer, maybe we can get this off the ground. It's really about group dynamics.

        I want to print up flyers and take them to the little drum shop in Midlo also.
