Glowsticks Are the Hit of a Rave Party
A Rave Party Without Glowsticks is not a Rave! What is a Rave anyway?Well, it's usually an all night (or longer) event where people go to for dance, socializing, and and all around fun time.
The place is usually dark with colored beams of light, strobe lights, laser lights, and smoke to give it a festive atmosphere.
The crowds are mostly young folks between 18 and 25, but really there is no upper age limit.
Retired folks (who want to stay young) have frequently been to these, and they find themselves quite welcome! Because the crowd is so varied, so are the conversations.
They range from serious to downright goofy.
And normally everyone feels very welcome to participate.
Because raves have gotten a bad reputation because of the potential presence of drugs, parents have organized safe raves and dance parties for children, and parties that last through the night are common for high school graduation events.
The techno music can be a little too much for some, and it seems like adult supervision is necessary at some of these rave parties.
But a responsible young adult can definitely let loose! What often happens is someone will pick up some glowsticks and start doing a 'rave dance'.
The light show that they put on is a feast for the eyes! These multi-colored streaks of light flashing and waving to the music makes the evening.
Some of the shyness seems to fade away as these kids show off their skills with their glowstick dance! It's called 'glowsticking', which is a form of dancing with glowsticks.
Freehand glowsticking typically borrows from many other dance styles as well as having its own unique set of moves.
An example of a basic movement frequently used in freehand glowsticking is the figure eight-- quite possibly the most wellknown, albeit not the most common move in the intermediate and more advanced levels.
Glowstringing is defined by a few factors: the use of glowsticks on a string, the swinging motion, and an equally large growing category of moves and concepts that are common to glowstringing and the moves are sometimes similar to freehand glowsticking.
Glowsticks are not recommended when the space is confined or tight since there is the potential of accidentally striking another rave goer when doing the moves.
Some rave promoters have started prohibiting glowsticks from events if safety becomes a factor.
But, as usual, common sense needs to prevail.
Keep it clean, enjoy the sounds, participate in your light show, and have a good time!
