I'm all for freedom of religion but they just go too far. Imagine if a large group of [insert any religious group here] pushed everyone out of the way so they could worship in the middle of a crowded theme park. The screaming is also very annoying but I'll counter with my own zhagareets.
I've been dancing at the drum jam since the late '80s...probably before some of these young screamers were even born. I'm not willing to "move to the back" just yet.
I often notice shy ladies wearing hip scarves along the edges of the dance area, moving their bodies to the music but afraid to join in because of the screaming mob linking their hands together and pushing everyone else out. I used to be one of those shy dancers. Fortunately I always found a few belly dancers at the drum jam who seemed to encourage me and make a little room for me to join in.
I don't mind trying out a different location for the jam but hopefully word will get out and the people interested in dancing will find us. While often muddy, the current location is on the way out of Faire so it's easy to find. Of course the most important element of drum jam, the drummers, will also have to decide which jam to attend.
Oh, well. I still had a great time at Faire this summer. I can't wait until next July!
