Tier1: Dance party on an island! Picnicing with ecstatic dance is back!

Remember how much fun we had at island ecstatic dance parties we had back in 2022?
We are finally back and ON!

The concept is really simple - we paddle out to an island, have a little picnic (pack your food), then dance for about an hour and paddle back.
If you've never done ecstatic dance - perfect. It's a great environment for both novice and veteran ecstatic dancers.

Plan:
6:00 - gathering on land and setup
6:30 - paddling to the island
7:00 - picnic (bring food for yourself)
7:30 - dance
8:30 - paddle back to boat launch
9:00ish - we're done

We'll explain what to do at every turn of activities. And your body already knows the rest.

There is a scpecific island and a spot I hope to get, but if it's taken when we arrive we'll go to another place. I've got the sound system and music covered.

What to pack:

- Kayak (SUP, canoe) and all the accessrories (seats, skeg, paddles, pump, PFD)
- Water
- Food for yourself
- Wearing a bathing suit might be nice in case we swim
- Towel
- Water shoes

If you need a watercraft or have any questions feel free to message Jack.
This event is weather dependent. In case of bad weather it'll be rescheduled

Please support these dance events:
These dance events open a bit of a separate financial chapter of our group. I just invested a bunch of my money into speakers that should provide us with the experience we'll enjoy. I hope to collect enough donations from these dance events specifically to cover their cost eventually. Sugested donation is $10.
Give cash to the event host, or send it via Venmo to @Jack Baikov (if it asks for last 4 digits of phone number, they are 7191). Thank you!

Disclaimer:
A quick reminder that Meetup organizers are unpaid volunteers and claim no special expertise or knowledge. We will paddle as a group but ultimately you are responsible for your own experience, safety and decision-making.
