Our Dear Fusion Community,
After much consideration and heartbreaking conversation, we have decided to cancel The Dance Thing 2020. Our event is based in loving our dance community, and coming together with joy and connection; we don’t believe that these values could be met, both as far as protecting the safety of our community, as well as holding space to join in authentic joy without twinges of fear. With that in mind, we will be waiting until June 2021 to rejoin you at Cedar Springs for The Dance Thing.
We will be sending out emails to those who have registered by Friday with a finalized refund policy. Thank you for believing in us. If you have questions, please message The Dance Thing page or send an email to info@thedancething.org.
Our communities are what’s most important to us, and we are endlessly grateful to be part of the worldwide dance family. We are in this together. Hold each other (virtually) with love, compassion, empathy, and the hope that we’ll be gathering together again soon.
With love,
The Dance Thing team - Chelsey, Joie, Josh, Justin, Rémy, Serra, Stephanie
The Dance Thing is a summertime fusion weekend just north of Seattle, WA. During the day, you can participate in community-driven activities and workshops, or relax and explore the beautiful 50 acres of land the lodge is on. At night you’ll be dancing to your favorite live and DJ’d music until the wee hours of the morning.
This is a CAMPING EVENT, no beds will be available for purchase during registration. If you have any accessibility needs, please contact our accessibility coordinator and we will gladly work to accommodate you.
Experience a taste of history, the beauty of untouched nature, and just enough modern conveniences to ensure a truly memorable event!
The venue features:
• A 1000 square-foot dance hall
• 50 acres of land to explore
• A creek for swimming and relaxing (a 5-10 minute walk from the festivities)
• A central fire pit for evening campfires and s'mores galore!
The Dance Thing is a large, primarily outdoor event with indoor dancing. Our COVID policies and procedures are intended to protect our community. That being said, we recognize that with any large event there is some risk. We reserve the right to adjust these practices if significant public health changes occur close to the event.
We are requiring the following to attend our event:
COVID vaccinations are required. All attendees must submit proof of COVID vaccination. This can be either a picture of your up-to-date CDC vaccine card, or a screenshot of a valid digital COVID vaccine record. Make sure your upload clearly shows: Your full name & date of birth, manufacturer & date of each shot/booster.
Rapid testing will be required ON SITE at the event.
Testing ahead of time may be a good idea in order to prevent any surprises after travel but you will still test when you arrive at the venue.
We will be providing 3 tests to each attendee - one to be taken upon arrival, and one to be taken before breakfast on Saturday and Sunday of the event.
If you test positive or find yourself sick prior to the event, please stay home, and contact us to discuss a refund.
