AscenDance is an intentional evening of ecstatic dance curated by resident DJs Earth Goddess Koreen & botanicus. We will gather and dance through rhythmic waves, then find stillness with a soothing sound bath, every second Friday of the month.
-- TICKETS --
Presale: Sliding scale $15-20
At the door: Sliding scale $20-$30
Venmo/PayPal/Cash are accepted at the door.
-- AGREEMENTS --
We follow these agreements and policies to create a safe experience that fosters free expression and protects our community.
1) AscenDance is a consent-based dance. Request and communicate consent when interacting, sharing space, and touching
2) We agree to arrive clean and unscented
3) We agree to refrain from taking photos/videos to protect the free expression of other dancers
4) We agree to not converse in the dance space (verbal consent chats are okay)
6) AscenDance is for dancers aged 16+
We strive to create an intentional container for our dance, where our shared energy is undisturbed by late arrivals and the dance is initiated by all. To honor this, dancers must arrive in the arrival window before the opening circle, as doors will close at the start of the event.
There is plenty of parking behind and adjacent to the building. The dance studio is on floor 2 and can be accessed by stair or freight elevator. Outside shoes are to be removed before entering the dance space.
