At Sunday’s Soul Sanctuary Dance, dance across and over and through frontiers – literal and figurative.  DJ Mick provides the eclectic musical path.

A haiku is written middle right, against the background of the sky: "The steel guitar twangs // lonely, echoes across lands // unknown – to be known." The authors name is below: "DJ Mick (Michelle Blair)." Below right, text says "Sunday, September 30, 2018, 11am-1pm, DJ Mick, Soul Sanctuary at Ashkenaz, 1317 San Pablo Avenue at Gilman."]

Dancing in the daytime is one thing that makes our weekly dances special. Yes, there is light, but even with our eyes closed, we know we are all together. We have permission to be ourselves, and to express ourselves without seclusion. This week's music theme is inspired by dancing together in the daylight during this sunny time of the year. DJ Z is your host and DJ.

Why are there so many songs about September?  Is it the sadness followed by sweetness?  The ending and beginning?  The letting-go and the renewal?   On Sunday, 9/16, let us contemplate these questions while we dance to many and diverse songs about… September!  Brought to you by DJ Mick.

All new (almost)! This Sunday's far ranging music mix by DJ Z features lots of new music (and some older music never or rarely heard at Soul Sanctuary Dance). Join us!

Marking Labor Day, this Sunday's music theme honors work and play, and the special intersection that includes our workout/playout every week for the benefit of ourselves and our world. DJ Z is your Host and DJ.

The same blue is used for an arrow, pointing to the area of intersection and originating from the text below that reads "Sunday September 2, 2018, 11am - 1pm, DJ Z, Soul Sanctuary at Ashkenaz, 1317 San Pablo Avenue at Gilman."]
