In the Second Life there are some dance & music events I like to join in. A few of them I am putting into my calendar and introduce to you. They meet regularly. Music and atmosphere are teasing. I meet nice people there, even new friends. — Take a try!
Teleport to J & R Ballroom | Aruba Deep
Members & Friends’ Group The Merfolk of Aruba
DJ Violet
Sundays noon to 2 pm (slt)
Hosted by Julian & Rain & Team
Supported Charity Combat Stress – For Veterans' Mental Health
The J & R Ballroom was opened in October 2020. I already knew some of the organizators & participants personally, especially from the belly dance events on Ulukumbu. And I could not resist to produce a movie about that:
It is not quite easy here to distinguish who is guest or organizer. The leading letters of J & R Ballroom initially meant the organizers Juliette & Rain. But Juliette had to withdraw for the time being & may return soon. For her, Julian has stepped & will maybe stay. And if you now ask for Rain, you will hardly meet her at the evenings, but you will meet Maria. Well, Rain & Maria are the same person. And I think there are other people on the team.
Nor do they make any secret of it. In fact, they all act on the idea of not competing with each other, but supporting each other. They are all nice & helpful. And what may confuse at first glance is actually an expression of their creativity & zest for life. — I do enjoy that!
In a pavilion next to the ballroom you can get a ball gown & a tuxedo for free. So nothing stands in the way of a first visit!
The ballroom itself is decorated in the Art Deco style. In fact, the epoch of Art Nouveau is indulged here.
Music from the 1920s to the 1960s is the order of the day here. Violet plays music that gets your legs moving. Electro-Swing, Jazz, Charleston, Tango, Bolero. And of course she is happy about corresponding music wishes of the guests!
A charming feature is Mr Elegant. In the movie, I dance with him from 0:43 to 0:52. Mr Elegant appears when I click on the white cloud. And Jon tells me Mr Elegant is kind of a trial balloon. They want to see how he arrives & how he does. After all, they are already thinking about a kind of Miss Charming ...
The ballroom is not commercial at all. The TipJars are not obtrusively placed. I did have to look for them!
A donation board for a charitable cause is set up at the edge of the dance floor: The British organization Combat Stress - For Veterans' Mental Health supports former servicemen & women with mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety & depression.
