Our Top Tips to Doof Like a Pro! ✨
We know you angels just want to have a good time at the doof - so we popped together our top tips for you to send it safely & make the most out of your fun weekend...
Fuel your body ~
Just like you wouldn't embark on a road trip without petrol, don't neglect your body's needs at a festival. Stay hydrated with water and electrolyte drinks like coconut water - this is so important, especially in the heat! Keep snacks handy for energy boosts, and be sure to hit up the food vans for a good feast each day. Opt for fruit if you're not too hungry—it's refreshing and nourishing.
It’s a marathon, not a sprint ~
You’ve got multiple days of fun ahead - it‘s important to take breaks, get enough sleep and be mindful of what you consume. Overdoing it early on can make the rest of the experience a struggle, so remember to pace yourself! Look out for your mates ~ There’s no better feeling than doofing with your whole crew! When you don’t have the guarantee of phone reception, it’s good to establish meeting times/places in case you get separated. Keep an eye out for each other and communicate openly. If you need help, or someone around you isn't having a good time, you can always visit the amazing medics, volunteers or Dance Wize.
Be ready for the elements ~
Long sunny days on the dance floor can take it out of you! Protect yourself from the sun by wearing sunscreen and reapplying regularly. Stay cool with a fan, head scarf & spray bottle during hot days and keep cosy at night with a big jacket and warm layers. Set up your campsite with shade for relief on hot days and lights to find your way home in the dark!
Plan your journey ~ If your crew is driving, make sure you’ve got a designated driver who can get you home safely. It’s always a good idea to visit the ‘blow me first’ crew before leaving to make sure you’re all good to go! Get a good rest before heading out on the road, and never drive tired or under the influence. Driving not your thing? You can always get the bus or hire private transport to take the stress out of it.
Leave no trace ~
Let's cherish the opportunity to gather in nature for music, connection, and magic. Respect the natural environment and keep it pristine so that we can come back year after year and do it all again- Pick up your rubbish and take everything you brought home with you at the end.
... and most importantly -
Make magical memories, laugh and dance all day, and leave better than you came. Soak up every second!!
Love, Tibbs
