Second Sun Rising is moving! Please come join us at the debut of our fabulous new location at the Cambridge Masonic Hall!
We'll announce instructor and DJs soon, but in the meantime we want to say we're so proud of the community we've built and the many fabulous events we've hosted and as always, it doesn't happen without many hands and hearts. We'll need that now more than ever as we learn to manage a new and larger space; please volunteer to help with outreach, setup, cleanup, and more than anything please be kind to one another!
The what/where/when/how:
Lesson 7-8pm, social dancing 8-11pm
๐Ÿ’ต Admission is $10-30, sliding scale, cash only. (We take IOUs)
๐Ÿฆ  We're currently mask optional. Please don't wear scented products. especially cologne or perfume, as we have community members who are allergic!
๐Ÿ’ƒ No Dance Partner? No experience? No problem! We welcome everyone, regardless of background or skill level.
๐ŸŒ 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!
๐Ÿ™‹ 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.
๐ŸŽถ 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.
โ™ฟ The Masonic Hall is not currently wheelchair accessible; it's one level of stairs down to get to the dance floor. There's a few stairs up at the main entrance, there is a side entrance at ground level with stairs down. If you need a sound feed for hearing aids, please contact us in advance.
Policies:
๐Ÿ‘Ÿ No street shoes on the dance floor (socks are OK).
๐Ÿ—Ž Our Code of Conduct can be found at https://secondsunrising.com/index.php/policies/
๐Ÿ’ง Cups come with a price tag, help the earth and BYOWB (Bring Your Own Water Bottle)!
๐Ÿ“ท Photography/recording is opt-in, ask a host for details.
โš•๏ธ 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.
๐Ÿš‡ Mass Transit:
We're a short walk from the Porter Square T station.
๐Ÿš— Parking:
All street parking is free on Sundays, no resident sticker required. Do not park in the Porter Square shopping plaza, they will tow.
