/We summon goth with our bodies, our movements and our emotion. Like a ritual under a full moon, a room full of spooky kids invokes the spirit of goth itself. On this episode we'll discuss what cultural meaning dance communicates, the welcoming enviroment goth dancefloors cultivate, and what you should expect for your first night out.
Our guests this month are Yasmine of the band XandStacy, Tony and Hani!
