The Greenville-centric story opens on Halloween night. While most families make their rounds through the well-known neighborhoods, a handful of kids break off from the group. Hoping to reveal an unspoken Greenville secret, they head to an abandoned mansion along the Reedy River. They knock on the door, and after no answer, a brave little girl says “Let’s go!” and pushes it open.

Lightning flashes to reveal a silhouette of a couple who dance a pas de deux to a string quartet medley of several Michael Jackson-inspired tunes. Ghosts creep out of every crevice but will not lunge into the audience at the matinee performance. Startling sound effects will also be kept to a minimum during the matinee performance.

Music By Michael Jackson and Choreography by Hernan Justo.

Hello StarTriber!

Reserve your space at www.startribe.org

It’s tried and true that there’s something exceptionally powerful about an entire community sharing in the magic of ecstatic dance, and an essential part of making it that way is YOU – that’s why, at any StarTribe, dancing your heart out will be irresistible; so prepare to bass up and get down.

…And prepare to get costume-crazy at the Halloween Ecstatic Dance!…There will be prizes for the most epic costumes. Be there at 5:45PM for what will be the one-of-a-kind contest!

Scott Sterling (Drumspyder) brings a deep love of rhythm to his distinctive style of percussion-driven dance music. A masterful percussionist specializing in tambourines and frame-drums, he weaves together intricate hand percussion and bass-heavy production into finely sculpted grooves – always to be a magical inspiration to the dance-floor. Drawing from the Folk, Medieval, and Renaissance music of the British Islands and Europe, Drumspyder’s music is a unique alchemy of pagan traditions and tribal rhythms.

* Dance-floor powered with the classic 22 speaker StarTribe Sound System. BOOM.

The StarTribe Vision

For thousands of years, countless cultures all over the world have danced for the purpose of community and self improvement, making dance of this kind an invaluable part of life. This is the purpose of StarTribe.

In much of the Western world, however, the scope of dance has become narrow and limited with the theme often being of noisy, unnatural nightclubs and bars which may not exactly be empowering, relative to what’s possible.

But there’s a revival of late towards more meaningful dance – dance that takes place in special outdoor settings and within a real sense of community, much like it was for millennia. This is where to find your Tribe.

Thousands of people have participated in StarTribe, and for the real spirit of dance. There’s something especially moving and powerful about an entire community of people coming together for this experience, and YOU are warmly invited.

StarTribe is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to community transformation. That includes YOU.
