From Jen Friedman:
Beloved Friends,
I am excited to announce that Bernie will be joining us once more on the beach, in the tradition of the phrase that he has made so popular in our Dance circles… “One More Time!”
Along with myself as the new PM Spiritual Director, Sky, Zareen and a supporting leadership team of Jessie, Dave, Douglas and Robin, we are excited to join you for dancing on the beach for the 24th year at our beloved Puerto Morelos Dance camp founded by Bernie & Adrianna Heideman.

If you still have questions, email Wayne our Registrar and Camp Manager.
Camp will start Thursday evening, February 13th, and the final Dance session will be Wednesday evening, February 19th. A pre-retreat evening Dance will follow site prep on Wednesday February 12th.
Cost is $225-$350/person as you can afford, including one community meal, and does not include lodging. Registration deadline is January 15th.
For the first time, we have rented the entire Las Arenas hotel so we will have an even closer-knit community experience. Also, we will have one Las Arenas room dedicated as a community kitchen for use for those staying on-site. Click here to learn more about lodging or email Dave our lodging coordinator.
For those coming from the Troncones Deepening into Being retreat (2/5-2/9) with myself, Sky and Shivadam, now is also a great time for you to purchase your ticket to fly with our group on Monday Feb 10 on Aeromexico from Zihautanejo (ZIH) to Cancun (CUN). The first leg of the flight departs ZIH 12:26pm; you get the connecting flight to CUN in Mexico City and there are two flight options, arriving CUN at either 8:36pm or 6:36pm. You book the whole flight (both legs) when you make your reservation. To reserve the group shuttle bus from the Cancun airport to PM. Email Wayne to reserve a spot on the group shuttle bus from the Cancun airport to PM.
