A night of healing, release, audacity and being that b*tch!

Cost: $33
(Unlimited membership, Classpass + Gympass eligible)
Join us for an evening of queer healing, release, audacity, and being that b*tch. Come as you are, no dance experience required.
A thoughtfully curated space for Queers (and allies) to bask in energetic release through physical movement and light breathwork. This is an all-levels informal dance movement that's designed for people of all shapes, sizes, skills and background.
The event is intentionally set for Queer Liberation and to deconstruct heteronormativity, performance, and social expectations. This is for us to boldly come together in community and somatically express our pain, joy, grief, and anything else that comes up.
I’m not a dancer, can I come?
Absolutely!! This is certainly not a performance or professional dancing at all. In fact, we encourage you to leave any professional training or performative expectations at the door. This is a moment for natural, intuitive movement and release.
Are Allies allowed?
Yes! While this space is curated with Queer Liberation and safe space in mind, anyone with an open mind is welcome to join our community.
What is Somatic Dance?
Somatic Dance (also referred to as ecstatic dance/intuitive) is movement guided from within rather than performed for appearance. Instead of dancing to be seen, we listen deeply to the body’s sensations, impulses, breath, and emotional currents, allowing movement to arise organically and without any performance or structure.
In a yogic sense, somatic dance is meditation in motion, a practice of returning awareness from the thinking mind into direct embodied experience. There are no perfect steps, only presence. The body becomes both the instrument and the teacher, revealing where energy flows freely and where it has become held, guarded, or forgotten.
Through attentive movement, one may release tension, awaken vitality, and rediscover a more intimate relationship with self, gravity, rhythm, and life itself.
