Since this year’s solstice weekend has officially been decreed “The Weekend of Ass-Shaking,” I’m sharing the exuberance with this ridiculous gallery of dancing through the years.

and what is with all the people on stilts at parties in CA? there was a whole troop of them yesterday at the Sunset party. i really wanted one of them to try to hoop while stilting (?) but they wouldn’t.

My theory is that it’s just one more part of the “circus-ification” of the underground scene. First fire poi, then hoops, now stilts…I even saw a juggler at Moontribe last weekend. It’s sort of like, “What else can I do with my body BESIDES dance?” Or something.
