Bio: Dance Temple has long been the sacred grounds of play, connection and prayer for Tyler. He started DJ'ing and facilitating 6 years ago in co-creating Dance Temple Pacific Rim. Tyler takes his inspiration from the rhythms of nature, and draws on a wide variety of genres to create sets that are dynamic, connective, and invite every part of the dancer into being.

Regular Temple Guidelines (please read through, especially if you're new to Dance Temple):
**SHIRTS ON PLEASE**
Please keep your shirt on, regardless of your gender (we've decided out of fairness to ask everyone, regardless of gender, to keep their shirts on)
** IF YOU INTEND TO SWEAT **
Please care for yourself and others by:
1) Taking a shower before you arrive
2) Bringing a towel to wipe up any wake you leave behind
**SCENT-FREE SPACE**
Please refrain from wearing anything scented in the space (including essential oils and liniments).
** CELL PHONE USE **
By popular request we have a 'no cell phone use' policy in the dance space. If you need to use your device, please do so in the foyer or outside. As you can imagine, it's distracting otherwise.
** DANCING & CONSENT **
Enjoy your own personal dance or spark up creative movement with others, if there is mutual agreement . If you wish to dance with another, look for eye contact or the body language of an invitation (if that isn't there then it's a "no"). Remember that a person's willingness to dance can change from moment to moment or week to week. At any time you, or the person you are dancing with, may choose to end the encounter by moving away, or bowing with hands in prayer.
** TALKING **
The dance floor is a no-talking zone. This is again done to remove any distractions and to allow for dropping in more fully. If you need to have a conversation, however brief, please step out into the foyer or go outside.
If you witness a conversation happening, you are welcome to gently remind people of this request (with a gesture).
** KIDS **
We love having young ones at Dance Temple! We ask that parents kindly monitor their kids and keep them close. Running is not permitted on the dance floor. If it's quiet (especially at the beginning and ending), and your kids aren't - please see that they are guided into relative silence. Otherwise we will ask you to take them outside so as not to distract others from the proceedings.
**FOOTWEAR**
Please wear only socks or indoor shoes/sneakers in the dance space.
HERE'S MORE OF WHAT DANCE TEMPLE OFFERS:
• Practice freedom of expression through movement, while respecting and being aware of those around you.
• Tune into an eclectic selection of musical flavors from a revolving lineup of experienced facilitators.
• Inspire and explore new ways to move your body.
• Explore the altar space for contemplation, reflection and intention setting.
• Learn to enter into a state of trance without the use of substances (no drugs or alcohol please).
• Non denominational opening and closing (can be in the form of a prayer, meditation or circle)
• Minimal facilitation. You are free to move as you wish.
Dance Temple is an inclusive community that celebrates gender diversity and authentic expression.
