Los Angeles Paint Dancing is about to lift off at Art Rebel in Sherman Oaks. We will supply you with everything all you have to bring is yourself and get ready to paint and dance. The cost is $20 and we will donate part of the proceeds to a local food bank.

Paint Dancing offers you a fun and supportive community devoted to creative expression through art, dance, and both at the same time.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
* a warm welcome
* the freedom to dance, paint, or do both at the same time, according to how you feel
* music that is eclectic, evocative, & movement-inducing, including funk, world music, hip hop, electronica, reggae, house, blues, jazz, dance classics & more.
* a group of friendly, fun-loving, non-judgmental people to share in your dancing & painting

WHAT TO BRING:
* your friendly, fun-loving, non-judgmental self, dressed for a little mess (NOT "dressed to impress"), wearing comfy shoes for dancing
* your own water bottle to drink from (we have water!)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FROM PAST EVENTS

Q: I'm not good at dancing (or painting), and I'm afraid I'll feel inhibited and judged.
A: We can't guarantee how you'll feel, but we can guarantee that you're not alone in those fears. Lots of us share those feelings to some extent. In our community, feelings like this fade away pretty fast.

Q: What if I just want to dance (or just want to paint)?
A: In any moment, you're free to dance, paint, or do both at the same time.

Q: Do I need to bring a partner? Can I dance on my own? Where do people dance?
A: No, you don't need to bring a partner. Some people dance while they paint, in front of the painting-in-progress tacked to the wall. Some people dance out on the dance floor, away from the painting areas. Some people choose to dance solo - as part of the crowd; others choose to dance in partnership or in spontaneously-forming small groups. It's up to you. Everyone is always painting, dancing, or doing both.

Q: Is all the painting "solo?"
A: No. We provide a helpful labeling system so you can decide and control if you want to paint solo or join in a collaborative creation.

Q: Can I take my paintings home?
A: Yes. If you co-create with others, you'll cross that bridge when you come to it. Paintings left behind are reused or recycled.

Q: Is this a class to learn how to paint or dance?
A: No. But you'll learn something new if you come ready to paint & move.
