***FAQ***
**I am in the waiting list. Should I still come to the class?**
We try to keep the classes as balanced as possible, so if we notice we are getting too many leaders/followers we move people around to waitlist.
Sadly not everyone who signed up attends the class, so you can always still show up and see if there is a shortage of leaders/followers.
**Want to increase your odds to get a spot for the class?**
Then we highly suggest to come with a partner (leader+follower), as we always give them priority.
**Why am I in the waiting list I was earlier/first?**
There is two reasons, either you have attended the class before or, more likely, you didn't show up to a class you signed up for before.
Our classes are free, we do this as volunteers and because we love to introduce people to dancing.
***When you take a spot and don't cancel your attendance in a timely manner or at all it means you took a spot that someone else would have gladly taken, so we kindly ask you to change your RSVP accordingly.***

DATING GAMES - THE EXPERIENCE - 18-28 - BCN
**🇪🇸 ESPAÑOL**
**🎮 DATING GAMES BARCELONA: THE EXPERIENCE (18-28) ⚡**
**¿Cansadx de que tu vida amorosa sea solo un catálogo de fotos? El jueves 21 de mayo en Barcelona, bajamos las pantallas y subimos el nivel.**

**🗺️ EL RECORRIDO**
**🔍 ETAPA 1: EL FILTRO (Dinámica Grupal)**
**Empezamos con un desafío de intuición. En grupos pequeños, tendrás que leer las señales y descifrar el lenguaje corporal del resto. ¿Serás capaz de identificar quién miente antes de saber siquiera su nombre? La primera impresión nunca fue tan estratégica.**
**🧩 ETAPA 2: THE MISSING HALF (The Hunt)**
**Aquí el destino está en juego: tendrás que moverte y activar tus sentidos para encontrar a tu otra mitad. No hay asiento asignado hasta que no encuentres a quien completa tu ficha. La adrenalina de la búsqueda empieza ahora. 🏹✨**
**🚦 ETAPA 3: DINÁMICA SEMÁFORO**
**7 minutos. Un cara a cara donde las reglas cambian según el color que dicte el azar. Un viaje por todos los niveles de intensidad:**
**⚪️ Blanco \| 🟢 Verde \| 🌸 Rosa \| 🔴 Rojo \| ⚫️ Negro**
**Tú marcas el límite, nosotros ponemos el ritmo.**
**✅ ETAPA 4: GREEN FLAGS & MATCH INMEDIATO**
**El clímax de la noche. Dos dinámicas finales de alta interacción para validar tus mejores cartas mientras nuestro equipo de "cupidos" procesa los datos. Nada de esperar días: te irás con tus matches inmediatos confirmados. 🏁❤️**

**\#\#\# 🗺️ THE ROADMAP**
**🔍 \*\*STAGE 1: THE FILTER (Group Dynamic)\*\***
**We’re starting strong with an intuition challenge. In small groups, you’ll have to read the room and decode body language. Can you spot the liar before you even know their name? First impressions have never been this strategic.**

**Fate is in motion here. Forget about just walking in and sitting down—you’ll have to move through the garden and use your senses to find your other half. You won't get a seat until you find the person who completes your token. The adrenaline of the hunt starts now. 🏹✨**

**\*\*ESPANOL\*\***
Murkhandli — Encuentro #1
Una **noche de arte,** música, conversaciones y **hermoso tonterias**.
Los **artistas** toman el espacio.
Los desconocidos se vuelven cómplices.
Los **locos se vuelven** a reunir.
“**Murkhmandli**” una palabra de raíces del sánscrito que significan “**una tropa de locos**”. es un encuentro mensual donde **artistas, músicos, creadores y personas curiosas** **se reúnen** para compartir trabajo, ideas y presencia.
Durante la noche, artistas invitados estarán mostrando sus obras mientras el espacio se transforma poco a poco en **una fiesta creativa y social.**
Si haces música, arte o algo entre medio — ven y únete.
Todos los fools son bienvenidos.
Innaguración del grupo
Para romper el hielo de la forma más natural posible, nos vemos en un local con **máquinas recreativas antiguas**. No hace falta que seas un experto en *Pac-Man* o *Street Fighter*; los juegos son solo la excusa para tener algo entre manos mientras charlamos y compartimos unas bebidas en un ambiente distendido.
### El Valor de Entre Humanos:
* **Anfitrión en la puerta:** Sé lo difícil que es entrar solo a un sitio. Por eso, **yo estaré esperándote personalmente en la puerta** del local para recibirte, presentarte a los demás y asegurarme de que te sientas cómodo desde el minuto uno.

* **Sin presión:** Aquí no tienes que impresionar a nadie. Si necesitas un momento de silencio o simplemente observar, este es tu sitio.

Writing Quick and Dirty
This meetup is for anyone—anyone at all—who enjoys playing around with words. You’ll be given a prompt (usually one word, such as “playground” or “shiver”) and time to express yourself in writing in response to it. Anything goes: prose, poetry, lists, letters, lyrics; any form which calls to you and demands expression.
After we have finished writing, you will be invited to share your piece with the group (totally optional, but the feedback can be fun).
The feedback (this is the only part with rules): Responses should be in the form of what stayed with you, what you remembered from the piece, what resonated with you. This is NOT a writing or craft class; there is no good or bad here. Critiques or suggestions miss the point. This is new, tender writing, and we honor it as such.
All writing is considered fictional. This is liberating for the writer, as you are free to write about literally anything and it will never be considered to be “about you.” The first person is always just a character.
Please bring your own writing equipment. It is helpful to come on time so you can hear the prompt and have enough time to write. Please buy a drink or snack from Charcha, our generous host.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
