OFFICIAL DJ ACTION SLACKS EVENT

FLAME presents Spring Shingaling Vinyl Dance Party

May 10th - SATURDAY

World Famous Kenton Club

 

Each Spring in Portland we witness the miracle of rebirth as the blossoms reawaken 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!
Rarities & Familiar Favorites

 

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.

 

21+
Sliding scale at the door $10 - $20 You can pay cash or Venmo

 

Like most of my dance parties, this party is open to all kind-hearted people, but is geared toward the Portland LGBTQmunity & its allies.
