Join us in co-creating a new dance culture focused on safety, inclusivity , & permission. One that invites the Fusion, Contact Improv, Ecstatic Dance, all other dance/movement forms and Sex/Kink-Positive communities to blend & play together on one dance floor. Our intention is to create a community culture that focuses on inclusivity and caters to the accessibility & safety of Queer, BIPOC, and differently abled communities.Join us for an evening of playful expression, in-depth explorations, and community-building as you indulge in your discovery process and uncover new pathways on the dance floor together. This is a social dance that is intended to be accessible to anyone new to Contact Improv and/or Fusion dance. Also a space with a lot of safety and permission created to allow those that want to dive in and play full out.

***In theme with the class, we’ll be inviting in the possibility of playing with absurdity for this event. In the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once, doing some act that was so absurd and out of their comfort zone, was the pathway to accessing some higher part of themselves. This is a theme Be has been wanting to bring into the dance so what better timing than on Be’s birthday ? and it just happens that Wren LaFeet offers an amazing class along the lines of this.***
Clowning is a Dance Skill with Wren LaFeet
We are here to do a job. It is not our job to be interesting. It is our job to be interesTED; in the dancer’s case, in their partner. Drawing from and in gratitude to the work of Avner the Eccentric and his long lineage, this class will introduce some basic principles of clowning and how they can be used to increase your presence, trust and innovation in your social dance (as well as life). In order to truly enjoy life we have to first become fully invested in it. It wants us to play.
