Move, connect, and express more! Join us every Saturday morning from 11am to 1pm at Vet's Hall for a two-hour, freeform movement journey DJ'd and hosted by Daniel Mollner. All are welcome, all are at choice. Each individual takes full responsibility for their own health and safety.
Our Saturday morning dances are a fantastic compliment to Wednesday nights. There are massive windows with sun streaming in, high wood-beamed ceilings, and a sprung maple floor. Bring your friends, family, housemates, etc! Come on out and move your body in supportive, friendly community!

WHAT TO EXPECT
Soularus is a freeform movement space. Move however you wish. And you are always at choice about whether you want to dance solo or with other people. You can expect a two-hour, DJ'd musical "journey" from your regular host and DJ Daniel Mollner. Music for the first 10-15 minutes is ambient and downtempo for you to arrive, warm up, and stretch as you like. The tempo begins to build gradually from there reaching a peak or catharsis in the second half of the dance. Afterwards the music comes down, softening and slowing towards the end for relaxation and rest as we conclude the dance. Listen to a sample journey HERE.
It is VERY important to this community that dances feel reasonably safe and welcoming for ALL people…especially those who’ve been marginalized (LGBTQIA+, BILPOC, body type, neurodiverse, seniors). We ask everyone who comes to help in making it so. We also ask for the willingness of traditionally marginalized people to come and dance with us as we learn and grow in this way.
