The Madtown Barefoot Boogie is a volunteer-run, community-building, substance-free, open-floor dance for people who love to dance and express themselves through movement. You don't have to get dressed up or worry about being cool. You don't have to be graceful or have studied dance. All you have to do is like to move your body and have fun. You can dance alone or dance with others -- you choose whatever you need to feel comfortable on the dance floor. Children of all ages are very welcome at the dance but an adult should accompany young children.

We have a “middle” between the first and second halves. The middle is time where we rest, sit in circle, and have general community announcements and sharing. Its one of the ways we seek to build a community of dancers and not just be a place where people come to dance.

The music played varies in rhythms, moods, and tempos so that people are given a chance to express themselves from different places. The music includes many genres, including ambient, world beat, hip-hop, downtempo, latin, funk, r&b, and disco, all arranged to make for a magical dance journey.
