"CAFE DISCO" : daytime dancing + coffee + bagels ; take a break from your daytime weekday activities for fun and connection!This is something I've been dreaming up for awhile. Daytime weekdays in the cold seasons can get really serious in Vancouver. I'm not so serious. I think working hard is great, but joy is the secret to life, and it's important to find that balance. I really craved a space where people could take a break from their busy workday or daytime weekday activities and just be in joy and happiness.
Enter; cafe disco! Take a break from your day, and drop in anytime from 10am-2pm. Whether you can stay for the whole time, an hour, or just 15 minutes, you're welcome to come here for good vibes.
The space:
1) ~THE CHILL ZONE~
We will have a cozy area in the back room with blankets, tea, couches, mattresses and pillows for a chill zone. Relax for some quiet time, draw or write, chat with friends new or old, or even take a nap.
2) ~THE DANCE AREA~ We will play popular danceable music from 60's to present, and we are open to some requests. You can dance, or you can sit on cozy couches beside the dance floor and just soak up the vibes.
3) ~COFFEE + BAGEL TABLE~
Help yourself to a complimentary, self serve table with coffee, tea, bagels and cream cheese. There will be some dairy free milk options for the coffee as well as a limited selection of gluten free bagels + vegan cream cheese. The rest of the bagels will be gluten-full.
Opportunities:
VENDING: If you're a vendor and want to set up a table to sell your items/ goods at cafe disco, please message either Mary and Jory. This is a new event and this is the first go at it, so we are not sure of attendance yet so it always helps if you invite people! You can sell anything you like as long as it's legal ^_^ art, food, drink, cacao, clothes, christmas market items, etc. Vending fees are $25 and go directly to supporting the venue.
DANCE TEACHERS / PERFORMERS / DANCERS:
-You're welcome to come practice your dance here, flow / levi wands, etc.
-If anyone wanted to volunteer to teach us a mini dance lesson (shuffle, latin, hip hop, breakdance, line dancing... we're open) please reach out to one of the hosts!
ABOUT DANCING:
You do NOT have to be a good dancer to come to this. My dance skills are extremely basic, no better than your great aunt. I will get on the dance floor regardless. Dancing is about letting go and having fun. You're also welcome to not dance and just enjoy the vibes!
And yes, the name was inspired by that episode from The Office!
