These events have a unique style drawn from the rich mix of dance around the Totnes area - from Salsa to Tango, Five Rhythms to Contact Movement, clubbing to 'silent movement'. Sometimes likened to a 'barefoot boogie' - there is no smoking or alcohol available. A regular group of people come who have become confident about dancing together.

There is no club style decor or super loud sound system. If you are into dance, it is more the personal contact with others that is important. People keep coming because they like the atmosphere, the humour, the social network.

This is a constant difficult question as the music is varied and people can get the wrong impression by words. The thing about these events is that it is not so much the music more the atmosphere created by the people who come.

The style of music depends on the dj. When I play, I prefer a wider mix with some world flavour music as well as '60's through to current, with a particular preference to 90's dance music from house, to techno, to ambient: Music with varied beats and a feel.

Although I like to play a lot of the music, there are different dj's too. See here for other dj's who have appeared at 'dance-at...'

I have some compilations available which give a flavour of the music style. See link.

Dance-at...' has been going since early '98 and grew out of my involvement with Fanny Behrens, a local movement teacher who began teaching 5 Rhythms some years back. Gabrielle Roth's 'Five Rhythms' 5 Rhythms is a good starting point to get into dance - it is a led dance without a need to learn steps. There are various teachers in the Totnes area.

'Dance-at...' is NOT a Five Rhythms event or group. Many of the people who come have danced this style of self-expressive dance. 'Dance-at...' is a place for people who loved to get high from just moving their body; no drugs and NO smoking - unlike some clubs I've been to.

Under 16s are free. If you are over 16 and want to get in for less then help me: the task is setting up of the dance at the start and packing away at the end of the evening. Or arrive before 9pm when the entrance fee is less.
