Come WANCE with me for my 65th birthday!

Come out and WANCE with me!! No, that’s not a typo, it just means "dancing while walking" in whatever way we want -- and just walking along is totally fine!

Basically we just move in any way we want together, with a portable speaker and a shared playlist of great songs.

Feb. 4 is my 65th birthday, and there's nothing I'd rather do than WANCE with great FFF>50 women!

(The photo shows my most recent WANCE which was in Madison Wisconsin last fall!)

Details:

• We’ll meet just before 10:30 am on Wed. Feb. 4 at the large map just outside the Smithsonian Metro Station on the National Mall.
• Please include your cell number in your RSVP so we can be sure to find each other.
• We’ll carry two linked Bluetooth speakers to play music that gets us moving.
• Requests for the playlist VERY welcome, send song ideas to patricia@fierceafter45.com or post them below, thank you!
• No dance experience required, no choreographed steps, just move and express yourself with movement to music. No worries if you have mobility challenges, we will adjust to everyone's speed as needed!
• Creative clothing, funny hats, protest clothing, etc. are very welcome.
• We’ll WANCE up and down the paths of the National Mall for about an hour, but we will make loops so people can break off and return to Metro as needed.
• A museum visit afterward is a great idea!!
• No birthday gifts; your presence is the best present!
• Ask any questions below -- I hope you'll join me!

More about WANCE: It began in the Midwest during the pandemic; here’s the original WANCE website by Gabrielle Lulloff, where she explains what Wancing is all about:

WHAT IS WANCING?
- Dancing as you walk
- The art of letting loose
- Spreading good vibrations & joy
- Putting that pep in your step
- Exercising your mind, body and spirit
- Taking care of yourself
- A different way of meditating
- Not caring what other people think
- Creating an expression of movement
- A way of meeting other advocates of fun

Note: This and other FFF>50 events will be permanently shifting to our walled-garden playground on the Mighty Networks platform, please sign up here! If it's full with a waitlist here you can get a spot on Mighty!
