Greater Dayton Dance Network: CANA!

Updated: Mar 30


CANA!


A Regional Reception:

Dancing Together with Christ in Freedom and Joy





Jesus's first miracle was in Cana. It was the third day of celebrating Unifying Covenant Love amongst friends and family.

Christ is the groom, together in unity, we are the Bride.

We were designed as His One Bride to Dance with the Groom.
So Let's Dance, Just like at Cana.



Problem:

  • We don't dance enough. We are in short-supply of opportunities and invitations to really dance together.


Opportunity:

  • Dance heals, frees, and deepens the richness of life.

  • Dancing connects us to ourselves, the divine, and each other.


Solution:

  • Dance More!

  • Host and Invade Cana-like gatherings to dance more collectively, like we used to.


Strategy in Dayton:

  • Map people and organizations Who Love to Dance in Greater Dayton

  • Cana Dancers Create and Share their Cana Song Playlists (see below)

  • Host an Annual "CANA Gathered" Event for the Church of Dayton

    • City-wide celebration and dance party with and for Christ-followers.

    • Should feel like a wedding reception, celebrating the union of Christ, the groom, and His bride, The Church.

    • Should give us a glimpse of Heaven - where the Trinity and the Communion of Saints are forever celebrating.

  • Initially, 1-4 times a year, Cana Dancers carefully "Scatter", as the spirit leads, into secular places and spaces to bring the Joyful, Defiant, and Relational Light of Christ.

  • ULTIMATE DREAM: Create a missional secular-facing multi-purpose space (restaurant, bar, club, meeting space, etc.) near Downtown Dayton to host all people and to transform culture through hospitality, conversations, and dancing. Name ideas:

    • "Reception" - Because 1. We want to receive people, and 2. We want the space to feel like a Wedding Reception whereby everyone is a friend or family member

    • What's your name idea?
