Skateboarding and dance enthusiasts flocked to Santa Monica Beach on Saturday, April 1, 2023, for a day of movement and grooving at Vibe Ride LA and Beyond the Board's Dance Like A Fool meet-up. The sun was shining, the air was warm, and the vibes were high as people of all ages gathered to celebrate the beautiful spring weather.
The event was hosted by Brandon DesJarlais and the Vibe Ride LA community in collaboration with Beyond the Board and DJ Alf Alpha. The dance party was held on the beach, with DJ Alf Alpha playing an epic music set until the sun set over the Pacific Ocean from Super Sonido Sistema's pimped-out VW Bus.
Participants were free to dance on and off their boards, blades, and bikes, creating a unique atmosphere that truly captured the spirit of the community. There was no shortage of energy, as people moved and grooved to the beat of the music, with the sound of wheels rolling and boards flipping adding to the ambiance.
Beyond the Board is a non-profit organization that aims to empower youth through skateboarding and education. The Dance Like A Fool meet-up was a perfect example of their mission, bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate the joy of movement and creativity.
Overall, the event was a huge success, with people leaving feeling energized and connected to the community. The combination of music, movement, and good vibes created a unique and unforgettable experience, reminding us all of the power of connection and the importance of coming together to celebrate the things that bring us joy.
