This Sunday, at Soul Sanctuary Dance, we'll dance to the lively, familiar, curious, surprising, rich and chaotic circus that is life.  DJ Mick is your ringleader.

When asked about this week’s musical theme, "Show Me Something Beautiful," DJ Herb offered this (hopefully) humorously hyperbolic paragraph, which attempts to explicitly elucidate itself as a beautifully illustrative example of something beautiful. Employing preposterous “play"-liteation, but with indubitable purpose, the paragraph goes on to state that, as a consequence of certain choices made by DJ Herb, the musical realm of this week’s Soul Sanctuary Dance will be fashioned to provide opportunities for meditative  reflection about big, basic banalities, like the beauty of beauty itself, vis a vis songs about beauty and/or beautiful songs. The final sentence — primarily intended for persons probably planning on pirouetting (or making similar moves) — describes this grooving, boogie-ing happening and its musical content as "a poly-dimensional potpourri of prerecorded euphony, carefully designed to allow dancers to partake in a practice of freeing their personal "Beautiful Invisible Inner-Begginner“  so it can be seen as the expressive being it wants to be!

This Sunday, celebrate that most wondrous of sentiments at Soul Sanctuary Dance, with a big-hearted mix by DJ Mick.

Drop into your own body. Let the music move you and move through you. If it's your way, then it's a good way! This Sunday, we'll dance to some iconic songs re-created by other artists as well as newer songs that may seem deeply familiar. At Soul Sanctuary, you're safe to express yourself your way. Your host: DJ dadada​.
