"Special Dances Need Special Music" -
The Conscious Dance Deejays Group and Database

Dear Dance Organizer, Leader, or Deejay,

I'm host of the Conscious_Dance_Deejays group on Yahoo.com, and I'm an organizer, host, and deejay for Soul Sanctuary Dance, a weekly community-oriented freestyle dance in Berkeley, CA (http://www.soulsanctuarydance.com).

Special dances need special music. Those of us providing the music put a lot of effort and care into finding songs that go beyond the beat. Songs that don't promote prejudice, violence, substance abuse, hatred, or stereotypes.
