🌿 Community recognizes community. 💫

At our Flower Power dance on 4/29, we had the chance to connect with the amazing folks from Friends of Mt. Tabor Park — a fellow volunteer-run organization dedicated to keeping the park healthy, welcoming, and thriving for everyone who visits. 🌲

In this interview, we talked to board member Sebastian Busby about the growing connection between our communities, what Friends of Mt. Tabor Park does, and what it means to create joyful public spaces together. 💚

Hearing that we’re doing a good job cleaning up after ourselves was so nice to hear! We’re proud that Tabor Dance is becoming known not just for the dance — but for showing love and respect to the land that hosts us. ✨

Let’s keep earning that reputation together!
Pack it in, pack it out, help your neighbors, and leave the mountain better than we found it. 🌲

Big love to Friends of Mt. Tabor Park for everything they do for this special place. 💫

Cup full. There’s a moment at each dance when we sit back and marvel at this community and what we’ve built together. For me this was the moment tonight…DJ slaying, crowd cheering and dancing together, and the beautiful park holding us all together in this special moment.

Thank you for dancing, for donating, for sharing your art, for picking up trash, finding lost items, and all of the PLUR! We love you!

See you soon, dancers and dreamers. 🙌🏽🪩💕
Big Love,
Party Captain

The park that gives us so much just got a little TLC from the Tabor Dance Community. 🌲✨
Mt. Tabor Dance Community is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit—100% volunteer-run and 100% donation-funded. Our volunteers truly are the heartbeat of everything we do ❤️‍🔥

On Sunday, 4/19/26 we teamed up with Friends of Mt. Tabor Park for a park cleanup! Over 30 of you showed up to w**d, mulch, and protect our native ecosystem—in anticipation of our first dance on Earth day!
Over half the crew were first-time volunteers!
We made new friends, vibed to music, and gave back to the land that hosts our magical dances during Spring and Summer 🥹💚

Huge news, Tabor family! We are so excited to announce our first-ever partnership with Mojo Fest to host their first electronic stage!
This is a big win for our community. Not only does this partnership give our incredible local DJs another stage to shine on this summer, but it also directly helps us generate the funds needed to keep our free, all-ages park dances alive and thriving.
Mojo is a community-first festival on a beautiful 40-acre island in Woodland, WA—just 30 mins from Portland. With similar origins and mission as Mt.Tabor Dance Community Mojo Fest, started by .mojo is a part of our Portland and tabor Dance family so you know this festival is extra special. Think beaches, forests, non-stop funk, jam, and electronic sets, and lots of love. We will be announcing the DJ lineup very soon!

The Details:
📍 Woodland, WA (40-acre island on the Columbia River)
🗓️ June 26–28, 2026
🏕️ Pack-in, pack-out camping (Leave no trace!)
🎟️ Ticket link in bio! (Secure those early tiers now)

Come support the artists who keep the Tabor spirit moving. Let’s take that energy to the island!
