Lost Valley Blues Recess
7/26/2012
City: Dexter, OR
Dances: Fusion

Last Year's Urban Alt-Blues Recess' industrial aesthetic was inspiring, and this year the pendulum swings us to Lost Valley, an intentional ecovillage community in the wooded foothills of the Cascades. Recess Event's 2012 flagship event, LVBR, brings us three days and four nights of alt-blues and blues music pumping into the liminal hours of the dawn. Daytimes will be spent wandering the miles of trails and numerous swimming holes on-site, the same mind-expanding skill-share workshops of yesteryear’s UBR (with five to ten workshops at a time (!)), and a community meal plan option with an all local, organic, and seasonal menu. We will have live acts spanning the talents of the recess community, and all with the usual, Recess-patented, "dancing to generators in the woods" on the 87 acres of Lost Valley Ecovillage. Its going to be quite the time!!

Lost Valley will also have a number of classes specifically designed to break down the lead/follow binary, and develop more Fleads, Lollows, Dancers, Switches, insert-your-preferred-gender-neutral-pronoun-here. There will also be a prized Gender Bender Strictly and an Alt-Blues/Fusion/Trad Jack & Jill competition Saturday night.
