A semi-private event
It's whispered in the halls of FB that in the days before the curse of COVID and the chaos of Sauron, there was a time of great magic. The Mediterranean gods and goddesses danced in Country Villages and festivals. The seekers of Cues and Tattoos tell of the tents of Alauda, High Dive, Kalia, and Masala. Sanctuary was found in Emerald fields and the Blues of November. The Ottominions, and traders extraordinaire, brought us goods from the Silk Road. Nomads tell tales of Tribalfest, of companions flung far and wide. Now we sit at our lonely fires and miss the days, the dancers, the community we once knew. Hence, we invite you to join us in relighting the fires, in reuniting the goddesses and gods of dance together once more. We beseech you to pass the invitation on to all who remember the magic. 5.00 cover at the door.
