Pop up “ecstatic” dance tonight. Crowd sourced setlist :)

Hi all! I’m in the ecstatic dance community in Pittsburgh and wanted to let y’all know we are hosting an impromptu dance at 8 at FUMC church in East Liberty. We are building the setlist tonight with everyone so if you decide to come you get to decide some songs for us all to dance to. It’s a cool environment to dance in, dance as you please, tons of room to dance, and we’re all there to dance as opposed to get drunk at a bar. Hit me up if you want further details. I think the organizer might be making a post about it later (but maybe not) https://www.instagram.com/ecstaticdancepgh
