I've attended this a few times in the past year with my kids and we've always had a blast. It's one of my favorite things in Olympia.

 Family Dance Night in downtown Olympia at Fusion the Integrated Body 302 Columbia St. (across Olympia Ave. from the Olympia Center) fully wheelchair accessible Saturday March 15th 2008 6-8pm

This wonderful event full of laughter, movement, friendship, and play happens every other month. It’s two hours of music and dance activities that are inclusive of all ages and abilities. Grandparents and infants, schoolchildren and even some teens come together for the joy of dancing. Activities like shape museum where your dance takes you to interlocking shapes with others, rivers and rocks and bridges, dancing with scarves, in costumes or riding on a pull cloth, make it interactive and playful. The evening flows between structured dance activities and free dancing. A variety of music; old and contemporary, in many styles, changes the mood and gives everyone a chance to do their kind of dance. Cost for the whole family what ever size and configuration is $5 to $10 sliding scale (but please join us regardless of your ability to pay).

The Illuminated Ball is not only a key fundraiser for Olympia's Procession of the Species, it is an artful experience in its own right. This year's theme is the Tree of Life and will feature a floor show dance, live music, light and luminaria. At the end of the floor show, the New Orleans funk band, Bump Kitchen will perform. All of this plus food and drink at the amazingly cool Eagles Grand Ballroom at Fourth and Plum. Advance tickets are $40 at Traditions or $45 at the door. I recommend getting advance tickets.

Or go here.

The Wild Grace Arts Winter Solstice event is a movement ritual that blends yoga and dance. It is a process that allows for the release of unuseful patterns, an ecstatic dance to celebrate the return of the light and an opportunity to clarify your intentions for the new year.
