Fri 18 Aug 2017, 5 pm-1 am. This is a substance free event. A space to connect deeply and elevate naturally.
North Florida's Time, the duo of creative and life partners Michael and Madhava Collins, are giving devotional music a very radical overhaul.

Every verse, every chorus becomes bigger than life, arena-level big, rave-level big. (Matthew Moyer, Orlando Weekly)
Time has teamed up with Gainesville's Mirror Vision mastermind, artist Jay Rosen. The collaboration combines Time's catchy, transportive sounds, chants and dramatic dance with Rosen's optically immersive experience with reflection, o ...

Want to learn tango? Come join the UF Argentine Tango Club for a free beginner tango class. Feel free to join even if you have never danced tango before, there are teachers for whatever level you might be.
Who: Everyone can come. The beginner class is geared for people who have never danced before or who want to practice the basics. The intermediate class is for those who have been to at least some classes and is for you if you feel ready and confident enough to learn some new steps. The advanced class is for those who have been dancing for a long while now and will feature more complicated steps, so ask a teacher to make sure you are experienced enough for this level.
What to wear: Bring a thick pair of socks to dance in. If you own a pair of salsa shoes or jazz or ballet flats, those work great too. Fancy shoes are not necessary. Reitz Union, Dance Studio A, UF Campus, Gainesville. Free. UF Argentine Tango Club - [email][events]
