• Lesson 7-8 p.m by Kelsy Stone
One half of this month's special and long-awaited Blues Union Residency, Kelsy Stone brings her lifetime of dance training and a passion for vernacular dance to Second Sun Rising. She loves to get lost in the music, and embrace the ridiculous, taking her craft seriously but never herself!
• Dance 8-11 p.m. DJs will be Kelsy & TBA
📦 This may be our last dance at this location - stay tuned for updates!
🗓️ No Second Sun RIsing in August, come to Faith's Fabulous Forty Fete on Saturday August 12 instead.
💵 Admission is $10-30, sliding scale, cash only. (We take IOUs)
🦠 We're currently mask optional. Please don't wear scented products. especially cologne or perfume, as we have community members who are allergic!
💃 No Dance Partner? No experience? No problem! We welcome everyone, regardless of background or skill level.
🌐 Our Community:
Our community is all about sharing the joy and release of connection. All ages, all backgrounds, all bodies, all human. No partner or experience needed. We operate on a not-for-profit basis and are led by volunteers.
We're one of Boston's amazing range of fusion and blues events; check out the others at
https://bluesytuesy.com/boston.html, and please invite folks you think would enjoy!
🙋 Calling all volunteers! Your help not only gets you in for free but also keeps the event alive. Drop a comment or PM to find out how you can contribute.
🎶 Fusion Dance:
Fusion, for us, means borrowing and adapting moves from various dances to partner with a wide range of music. Expect tunes spanning pop, electronic, swing, blues, Latin, and more. We're not too picky about dance steps, as long as everyone is having a blast. Most folks will be partner dancing, but solos, triples, and blobs are welcome too.
Other stuff to know:
👟 No street shoes on the dance floor (socks are OK).
💧 Cups come with a price tag, help the earth and BYOWB (Bring Your Own Water Bottle)!
📷 Photography/recording is opt-in, ask a host for details.
⚕️ COVID Measures: We expect to bring additional air filters. We vary our response by pandemic conditions. We've been at the lowest of our four precaution levels since August of 2024.
🚇 Mass Transit:
We're a short walk from the Alewife T station and near the 78 bus line from Harvard Square.
🚗 Parking:
Onsite parking is available, but watch out for spaces dedicated to Enterprise Car Rental drop-offs - if you get blocked in by a rental return, you might not get your car out until Monday morning! The daycare spaces across the parking lot are ok IF IT IS NOT SNOWING. The gym next door has been demolished and is now a construction site. The Whole Foods lot has generally been fine, and the Apple Cinema lot is a bit of a walk but should also be fine.
See you on the dance floor! 💃🕺
