A little history about Dance Church--the 418 Project is a dance and performance space on the south side of downtown Santa Cruz, California (see www.four-eighteen.org/ ). They've had Friday night dance jams there for years.
About the middle of 2001, a young woman named Kerry did a community project for her dance studies at UC Santa Cruz that involved the realization of the idea of a Dance Church. She and her friend Michelle were inspired by their mutual friend Jim to create and publicize Dance Church.
Dance Church is basically a Sunday morning dance jam that tends to have more uplifting music. I have a hard time classifying the kind of music the DJs spin. It is the same kind of music played at the Friday night jams but with a more spiritual feel.
Dance Church meets every Sunday from 9:00 to 11:30 AM at 418 Front Street in Santa Cruz.

I got involved after returning from my first Burning Man in 2002 and feeling the need to find a similar community at home. I went to the 418 in the fall of '02 to get updated on the Friday jam and found Dance Church. I've been attending ever since. I was one of the dancers on hand at the creation of a Dance Church camp at BM '03. I created a Yahoo! Group at groups.yahoo.com/group/DanceChurch/ . I've done a couple of short video pieces on Dance Church.

When the local BM regional "Burning Beach" hooked me up with Tribe.net, I thought it would be good to create the Dance Church tribe here as well. I like the way photos are integrated into the fabric of individual and tribe listings. I also like the "degree" method of building a network.
My personal goal is to bring community dance and movement into my life every day. Last year at Burning Man I was able to do that, and the 418 Project and Dance Church help me work towards that goal the rest of the year.

I've found a lot of love at Dance Chruch. I hope you can join us. Thanks to Dana, Heidi, and Kwai for inspiring this post!
