Beach Dance
An Extraordinary and Fun Experience
Beach Dance is a unique and fun way to experience free-form movement to emotive and exhilarating music in a beautiful outdoor venue. After many years of dancing alone along the shores in Cannon Beach, Oregon, I'm now offering others the opportunity to experience for themselves the thrill of beach dancing. Creating your own dance and having the freedom to move your body the way it wants to is a powerful thing. Dancing in community with others in nature makes it magical.
One of the things that makes Beach Dance so engaging and enjoyable is the fact that there are no "right" steps to learn. While safety considerations, technological tips and guidance are provided before each event begins, minimal instruction is given and participants are encouraged to dance according to how they feel not how they think.
How Does Beach Dance Work?
Modern technology will make it possible for participants to have the freedom to move about the beach and create their own dance while still feeling connected to the rest of the group. During the event, every person will be equipped with one of the fifteen iPods that have been synched with an identical play list of songs. After pressing the play button simultaneously, participants will hear a variety of music that's been especially designed to insure that dancing is inevitable, unavoidable and utterly delightful.
Beach Dance Happens When and Where?
Throughout the summer months, several events will be held on the beach near Chapman Point at the north end of Cannon Beach. After registering for an event, participants will be given directions to the dance location, where to park and suggestions on what to wear. All events are 90 minutes in length and will occur on the dates in June, July, August and September shown below in the registration form.
Friday night events are 7:00-8:30 p.m.
Saturday morning events are 10:00-11:30 a.m.
Due to the unique listening experience and specific timing of when the dance begins for everyone, being on time is of utmost importance. In fact, being a bit early is highly recommended. Once participants have pushed "PLAY" and the music commences, the dance has begun and late-comers will not be allowed to participate in the event.

Out in the elements...
in the sand
in the surf
in the sun
alone, yet together
music is played
movements are made
freedom is found
dancers are born.
