and for videos with music

If you want to camp with us (food, water, etc) you will need to go here. But your first order of business is to buy a ticket to get into Burning Man. If tickets sell out - if you set yourself up to be alerted when they become available on Craignslist (here are two ways) you may still be able to get some - also check with me and I might be able to help you. Avoid scams and check tickets for embossing etc.

To get tickets to get into Burning Man 2012

BY Jan 22 ENTER THE LOTTERY TO GET YOUR TICKETS, POSSIBLY AT A LOWER THAN FULL PRICE,

OR GET YOUR FULL PRICE TICKETS FIRST COME FIRST SERVED WHILE THEY LAST STARTING IN March (TBA). This is a new system brought on by the sell out last year and noone can be sure what the odds are but most think that in the end everyone who gets their tickets relatively early will get them (and there is always resale).

Our bands this year/2012:
TBA soon

Our callers this year/2012:

TBA soon

Burning Man

a week-long festival of extreme art in an extreme environment

For 20+ years it has attracted a very diverse crowd, with up to 53000 participants and over 800 theme camps.

In 2010 we started a theme camp for the many 'burners' who are contradancers, and for the many contradancers who have long been tempted to make the 'pilgrimage to the Playa', and for whom a contradance there will be the push they need to finally do it.

But Burning Man is also a great venue to introduce contradancing to a large, all-ages but heavily under 30, sympatico crowd.

And it is the perfect place to explore new moves, new music and otherwise extend this already very playful and innovative art form, creating
a contradance week as outrageous, as sensuous, as magical as

Burning Man

Dance with us Aug 27 - Sept 3 2012 (here for details)

Nights are cool in the high desert typically with perfect dance

temperatures during our sunset-to-midnightish dances.

We have a 3000 sq ft wood dance floor and a dance tent.

Ways you can help (will be updated for 2012 soon) (which we very much appreciate whether or not you attend):

☀Working from this example send email to your friends and dance groups (and if you are able, some from this list).
☀Print out flyers and put them on the table at your local dances.
☀Buy a T shirt.
☀Visit our Facebook page, become a fan, and click the Facebook 'Like' and Google '+1' buttons on this page and the

introduction to contradance page.
☀Visit the volunteers/contributors/performers/campers page if you are coming to Burning Man and want to help or to camp with us (and follow any of the links to the form).
☀Sign up to help with the planning discussion group (the form on the left below or go here). Or else sign up to just get announcements (form on the right or go here). (Both groups get the announcements so there is no need to join both. Long periods of inactivity within the group reflect the fact that we often revert to planning by email and phone. )
