Ecstatic Dance Outside

Once a year, Ecstatic Dance takes their party outside. This is their fourth year, the format is simple, come and enjoy. Starts at noon, ends at five. Each DJ plays an hour set.

A friend asked me to join him for their fourth year celebration and I agreed. Armed with our picnic lunch from Phat Matt's, we set up our blanket in the shade. From the left, we had an excellent view of the DJ set up, dance floor (located at the Bandstand), dancers (young, old and everything in between), jugglers, acrobats, babies and dogs.  

What a beautiful day and awesome time. I heart Lake Merritt and I hella heart Oakland.
