Shake It So
Celebrating human connection through dance parties, music, and joyful community.
Menstrual Hygiene Day — Thank You!
Our May fundraiser with The MoonCatcher Project brought together dancers in Albany, Berlin, and on Zoom — including students and friends from Malawi. MoonCatcher's work continues, and your donation still helps keep girls in school.

What Is Shake It So?
Shake It So is a community of people who love starting the day with movement, good music, and a spirit of connection. We dance together in Central MA and on Zoom, and a few times a year we partner with amazing organizations around the world that fight poverty, promote education, and empower communities.
Dance Parties
Welcoming, judgment-free dance parties — Malawi Mondays at noon ET with Malawi music, plus Wednesday & Friday mornings at 8AM ET. Online and in person.
Joyful Community
Shake It So is about fun, friendship, and starting the day with joy. No choreography, no expectations, just people moving together.
Global Connection
Through special events, we dance with students in Malawi and raise support for partners like Bridges to Malawi and The MoonCatcher Project.
What’s happening
Between Two Dance Parties
The kids in Malawi had their own song requests, and playing them turned out to be the whole point. Some thoughts on yesterday's dance party, and an invitation to tomorrow's.

Every Monday at noon ET, we dance to Malawi music with friends from the US and Malawi. The midday time is chosen so our friends in Malawi can join at a convenient hour.
We play music by Malawian artists, licensed through COSOMA (the Copyright Society of Malawi). Supporting artists fairly is important to us.
