"Desert Flaggers' is the local organization that sponsors the event. They have a variety of events that are listed on their webpage at www.desertflaggers.com. These include classes, weekend flagging in various parks, social events, fundraisers, and flash mobs. They can be seen every Sunday as they open t-dance at OSCAR’S. The art of flagging is the spinning of flags rhythmically to music. Silk flags are usually dyed in vibrant, ultraviolet fluorescent colors, creating an almost hypnotic spectacle when spun rhythmically. They are made by adding curtain weights sewn onto the edges of two sides of the fabric to make it possible for flaggers to spin them through the air. Flags are as fun to watch as they are to spin! The basic moves are easy, fun, and visually stunning. Flow Flags are easy to pick up and soft on your body when you make mistakes. Come at 10:30 AM for our novice class and then enjoy the afternoon. Loaner flags are available.
As one of San Francisco’s original Flagging in the Park DJs over 20 years ago, Jamie J Sanchez returns to Palm Springs Flagging In The Desert. Best known as resident DJ at San Francisco’s legendary Club Universe, Jamie was known for his marathon 8-hour DJ sets which helped usher in a new era in SF clubbing. Club-goers still reminisce about those legendary nights on the Universe dance floor. Jamie went on to DJ around the globe - throughout Europe, Asia, the US, and beyond. We are excited for Jamie to bring his classic, uplifting flagging sounds to our next FITD.
