Dance lesson at 7:36
Dance Ugly and Drool… We’ve done this ride about 12 times already and it’s always been a pleasure and full of spontaneity. Oh the grooves will be great and the dance spots will be cool but can you bring yourself to dance badly? I like to dance like a 5 year old at a wedding reception… ‘Dancing Ugly’ is a concept about freeing yourself from dancing for others gaze…However, we’re all going to be together doing our best to dance badly.. Special imaginary prizes will be handed out…Such as: Can’t keep a beat trophy, Do they need medical attention badge, Needing to pee really badly banner….And some others. We’re going to be getting down hard and badly on this dance ride. You’re invited to embrace the weirdness and be in an attitude that translates to personal Empowerment and a greater sense of self off the dance floor….Well that’s my excuse… ill fitting clothes recommended… Music will be dance centric and more than just EDM and Bad Bunny (but there will be Bad Bunny and EDM). Please message us on insta if there’s a specific song you wanna go mental to. Route will be a loop. Pace will be slow and social. Refreshment stop early. We will visit 3-4 dance spots each for about 10-15 mins before rolling. There will be a degree of impromptu dancing as well, in 2024 we bumped into a garage party and danced hard with them all briefly, in 2023 we stopped and helped a bunch of people who were unloading a massive u-haul. All our rides are safe/brave places, please help foster this communities acceptance and respect for each other. We expect everyone to respect consent and non-violence. The ride will have at least one stop to check on everyone and make sure everyone’s comfortable. Corkers appreciated, come talk with me (Moorland) at the start if you want to help support the ride. Banned riders elsewhere are banned here too.
