Dance With Love founders Kerry Harwood and Kat Brenn are gearing up to take their headphone community dances across Canada.
They plan on travelling from Tofino all the way to St. JohnB次元官网网址檚, Newfoundland, touting 110 headsets, groovy tunes and an uplifting message.
B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e focused on healing. WeB次元官网网址檙e focused on compassion. WeB次元官网网址檙e focused on community. WeB次元官网网址檙e focused on peace and love. WeB次元官网网址檙e focused on taking care of one another. WeB次元官网网址檙e focused on fun, laughter, joy. All these high vibrational words ring true for me. Strength, integrity, passion, purpose. We just want to bring all of this to our dances,B次元官网网址� said Harwood after their fifth successful community dance on March 4 at Chesterman Beach.
HarwoodB次元官网网址檚 investment in the Dance With Love Tour came about organically after hosting an inaugural silent disco in the Comox Valley.
B次元官网网址淥ne of the woman (at the headphone dance) said to me that she hadnB次元官网网址檛 experienced joy in over seven months and not only that, she had tears of joy during that dance. Kat and I pretty much looked at each other and decided that we needed to keep doing this,B次元官网网址� said Harwood.
Newcomers to a Dance With Love gathering donB次元官网网址檛 necessarily even have to join the dancing. HarwoodB次元官网网址檚 headphones come with a multi-channel set-up so people can flick between vibes, depending on their mood. Channel 1 is for the community dance and transmits audio from a DJ while Channel 2 plays a compilation of folk music for relaxing and walking.
B次元官网网址淥ur number one priority is to get people moving, connecting and smiling again. WeB次元官网网址檙e just doing our best and learning as we go,B次元官网网址� he said.
Ucluelet resident Jenna Anderson joined the Dance With Love event at Chesterman Beach.
B次元官网网址淚 felt very free and careless dancing barefoot on the beach. I havenB次元官网网址檛 danced in ages other than my kitchen. I was nervous and a little shy at first, but once that music got going I wanted to join with everyone. It just looked like everyone was having too much fun not to join in,B次元官网网址� said Anderson.
She really liked the headphone experience.
B次元官网网址淚 think the headphones makes you and everyone else involved feel connected in a really special way. You are all there to enjoy the music and let go for while. And it being outside on the beach just made it next level,B次元官网网址� she said.
Dance With Love events are family-friendly and drug/alcohol free. Harwood and Brenn plan on taking a hybrid vehicle on their cross-country journey, complete with a trailer, collapsible outhouse, and plenty of legroom for their mascots B次元官网网址楶ineappleB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址榃atermelonB次元官网网址�.
The theme song for the tour is Whitney HoustonB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址淗igher LoveB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址淟etB次元官网网址檚 dance and be friends around the worldB次元官网网址� is the motto. Can you dig it?
