FLAME: Spring Shingaling
- 8:00pm Saturday, May 10, 2025
Each
Spring in Portland we witness the miracle of rebirth as the blossoms
awaken in the most spectacular display in the country. We emerge from
the gloomy season to experience a complete visual transformation.
Let
the flora inspire you and open your heart to joy and human connection
as you jump into Spring by dancing to rhythm & grooves pressed like a
flower into midcentury vintage vinyl:
R&B / Soul
Latin Grooves
Motown
Tropical rhythms
Groovy oldies
and other tunes to make you swing towards Spring!

All spun by your host DJ Action Slacks
Think FLOWER POWER as you bring your spring with you by wearing SPRING-colored and flower-inspired outfits!
Also
included during this event - the Dance Hall of Flame inductions of a
few music-makers I associate with the sounds of Spring. Their songs are
like a melodious "miracle grow", sending our hearts into bloom. Ok,
perhaps the language is a little flowery. In all sincerity, this music
makes my heart come alive, and I hope it will do the same for you : Yma
Sumac, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente!
Arrive with an open mind, open heart, and willingness to learn WHILE having fun.
