๐ฏ๏ธWelcome to ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ - ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ญ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ฏ๏ธ๐I stumbled upon a new Valentines Day, an internet Valentines day.
"May 20th Lovers" refers to a, modern, digital-age Valentine's Day in China (and among Chinese speakers) known as "520 Day". It is celebrated because the number 520 (wว รจr lรญng) sounds phonetically similar to "I love you" (wว ร i nว) in Mandarin.

So I thought and felt:
Let us connect beyond the internet.
Let us bring ourselves, and perhaps... a crush?... an internet date?? (Below is an special gift๐)
Let us connect as lovers... for an evening... for a dance... for ourselves to open up to love.
This Ritual Dance will be a moment to:
Express Love through body language
Go on a 'Romantic Dancing Date'
Exchange gifts of movement
Dance with a crush
Flirt
๐ฏ๏ธ๐๐๐ are ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๏ธ
Take a moment.

Ritual Dance is a dance experience where we come together in silence. From the silence we feel into ourselves, make eye contact with another dancer, show ourselves & recognize the other. The music is the invitation to go into spontaneous, free dance.
The concept of Ritual Dance is inspired by Ecstatic Dance and Ritual Play. As we only use body language & sound, we leave words behind. We dance barefoot, only drink water and let ourselves be carried away by the natural flow. There is a demarcated space (the field) and demarcated time (the music), in which we step into the unknown, to authentically follow our impulses in tune with the other.
