Wild Out Dance Festival

Wild Out Dance Festival (WODF) hosted by Rhythmic Emotions, LLC is a new immersive dance weekender (3 nights/ 2.5 days) hitting Nash, bringing you the best Bachata, Zouk, and Kizomba, EDM/ecstatic dance, and meditational movement practices (e.g., yoga, tantra, kundalini, Thai massage) in a retreat setting. The venue is picturesque and located on Johnny Cash's beautiful farm (http://storytellersmuseum.com/storytellers-gallery/), where we will be camping under the stars and dancing until sunrise. Just imagine 3 nights of socials (Sat and Sunday) and 2.5 days of unique workshops.(e.g., kiz, zouk, bachata, mindfulness meditation, hula dance, and more); while connecting more deeply with your favorite people, nature, and Nash's original music scene.

Here's what you will need to know to prepare for WODF! Purchase your tickets today to lock in your early bird rates ($50.00) until 2/17/18. Rates will increase by $20-$30 monthly to $130. Short on cash, 10 volunteer tickets are available for $30.00 (i.e., you will get refunded $20 after 3 hours of service). There is no other weekender bringing you 3 days of dance/meditational workshops with amazing artists, socials, and a camping spot for $50! This price won't last.

Ticket Inclusion: Tickets will include three socials, two and a half days of workshops, and a camping spot. For those of you who do not have a tent, a 4-person tent can be purchased and shipped beforehand for less than $20.00; see links below. Air mattresses can also be purchased and shipped for less than $10.00, see links below. For those of you who do not love the outdoors, we can work to accommodate you at local housing and/or provide you with links to affordable hotels (5 miles away). Discounted hotel rates coming soon!

Food/Drink and Alcohol: Food trucks and water/soft drinks will be available at WODF. During nightly social and evening workshops, there will be a mixed bar. The vibe of WODF is all love, please bring food to share campfire style. 

Hygiene: There are clean portable toilets available for use, and we will provide a few camp showers, which you can also buy for $7; see links below. For those of you who don't love a naturalist vibe, we can work to accommodate you a local housing and/or provide you with links to affordable hotels (5 miles away). Discounted group rates coming soon. 

Weather issues: WODF is happening rain or shine. Should there be rain, we will camp indoors rather than under the stars.
