COME AS YOU ARE. DANCE AS YOU PLEASE. NO JUDGMENT. 🙌✨

HOW IT WORKS:

We open into a wide circle and do some light stretching, transitioning into a freeform dance journey facilitated by our guest DJs and performers. At the end of the set, we close with sound healing or a group exercise to ground and complete the experience.

On the Dance Floor:

• Dance however you please.
• Be mindful of personal space—consent is a must.
• No talking on the dance floor—immerse yourself fully.
• Dance barefoot or wear non-slip socks.
• This is a drug and alcohol-free environment.
• Stay present—no phones on the dance floor.

Come connect, dance, and heal with us! 🌟
