WELCOME TO LIVE INTERACTIVE ONLINE soul sanctuary dance!
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, we’ve created Live Interactive Online Soul Sanctuary Dance from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (tech check 10:45) Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7) every Sunday, until we can move back to Ashkenaz, our regular home.
NEWS:
When
Every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7).
Join early at 10:45 a.m. PDT (UTC -7) for "tech check" if you wish.
NOTE: Our meeting "room" only holds 100 people, so it's possible it will fill up. If so, you can come in later if someone leaves.
How
Audio: click the "Play" button (red triangle) (at the top left on desktop) after going to this Mixlr link:
mixlr.com/soul-sanctuary-dance-organizer
(Just click the "Play" button, and ignore the rest of the screen. No need to login, signup, or chat. Don't click anywhere else on the web page (except the volume slider (see our FAQ page).)
Video (and some audio for voice also): Use this Zoom meeting link:
https://zoom.us/j/5706721549
(If you have trouble using the Zoom link from a web browser, you can just open the Zoom application, click “Join a Meeting” and type in the meeting ID number: 570-672-1549 ).
To join in, you need to have the (free) Zoom application on your device, but you do not need to sign up for a Zoom account or need to login to Zoom. If you don’t have Zoom installed on your device, and you try clicking the clicking the meeting link, it will prompt you to download or install Zoom right then. So ahead of time, it’s best to install it here before Sunday’s dance: https://www.zoom.us/download . (On computers, the application is called “Zoom Client for Meetings.” If you search for ZOOM in the app store, it will be called “ZOOM Cloud Meetings, Meet Happy.”)
If you are new to Mixlr or Zoom, see our FAQ page.
On a laptop or desktop computer, you can use the Mixlr audio and Zoom video/audio at the same time.
If you are using Zoom on a computer, and you also have a phone/mobile, you can get better connections by getting your Mixlr audio via the phone/mobile at the same time as you Zoom with the computer.
If you only have one phone/mobile, you should just enjoy the Mixlr audio. You can't run the Mixlr audio and Zoom at the same time via a single phone/mobile. If you like, at closing circle time you can leave Mixlr and open the Zoom link to join us there, getting video and voice.
You can use cellular or Wi-Fi connections. Wi-Fi is much better.
NOTE: Our meeting "room" only holds 100 people, so it's possible it will fill up. If so, you can come in later if someone leaves.

What
Soul Sanctuary Dance, founded in 2003, is a weekly welcoming and inclusive all-ages community freestyle/ecstatic/shoes optional dance that supports free expression, community, physical and emotional health, and a spirit of generosity. We dance to an irresistible eclectic blend of world music, funk, house, soul, electro swing, positive hip hop, reggae, dance classics, jazz, blues, electronica, and other music to free mind, body and soul.
Please read our Community Agreements for Online Interactive Virtual Soul Sanctuary Dance.
