Chocolate Dance Party

Just when you thought Willy Wonka’s world was fantasy - a chocolate dance party is on its way to Randwick Racecourse.

Party-goers are invited to experience the natural highs of pure raw chocolate - with not a drop of alcohol in sight. American food scientist David Wolfe is bringing The Raw Cacao Dance Party to Sydney for the first time.

He guarantees revellers that the next day’s hangover will be replaced with vitality.

“It’s a kid’s birthday party for adults,’ she said. “It’s like the party you always wished you could go to and that you always wanted - no drugs, no alcohol just good times.”

The party launches with chanting, drumming, the invocation of the cacao bud and Wolfe’s view on author Roald Dahl, followed by DJ’s.

He believes Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of the most important pieces of literature ever printed.

“This is almost like channelled information for all of us who live in chaotic, crazy, very fast-paced, high-stressed world,” he said.

“We need answers to questions on how we deal with technology, how to have fun and what’s important and valuable in life - and they are all answered in that book.”

Wolfe vows that chocolate in its raw form is good for the mind and body.

“The cacao bean has always been and will always be nature’s number one weight loss and high-energy food,” he said. “I think cacao beans are probably the best kept secret in the entire history of food.”

Despite Wolfe speaking to the Courier from a chocolate factory in America, he says he has never been a chocoholic and didn’t gave it much thought until he visited a cacao farm in Hawai 10 years ago.

“I started eating these raw cacao beans and it completely captured my imagination and changed my life,” he said. To the point, he now even farms his own cacao. And what does Wolfe say to people who think this is a whole heap of hippy crap?

“Come and check it out for yourself - this is hippydom on steroids turned on its side with Willy Wonka at the helm,” he said. “It’s better than dinner and a movie - this is a musical but you are in it.”
