Title: Why do RMAs dance?
 

The band starts, immediately tables are moved to create a dancefloor and within 20 seconds a crowd starts to move to the rhythm of the beat. This is not an unfamiliar sight. At many of the conferences we go to, we often end up on the dancefloor. So, why do RMAs dance?

This presentation will reflect on the reasons why, the traditions and rituals that form our community. How important is dancing, fireplace stories and other habits? Does our little RMA bubble have a culture of its own and what is the power of a group and the importance of a community? After the presentation, we will divide into small groups to discuss our RMA culture, community building and share some campfire stories.
