About this Event

About The Event:
Come and shake off the weight of your week with us in the Wiggle Room-- our judgement free movement spaces that get you out of your head, into your body, and shaking out your stress with joy, laughter, and other Black and Brown women.
“Release the Cheeks” is all about releasing tension and stress by connecting our mind to our hips through movement. Saharla will guide us through a series of stretches, movements, and grooves before we shake it out on the floor. In The Wiggle Room, we intentionally call out what needs releasing and where we need more grace so that we can leave feeling lighter and standing in our power.


Meet Saharla:
Saharla Vetsch (she/her) is a Somali American multidisciplinary artist rooted in the Bay Area. Saharla earned a degree in Performing Arts and Social Justice with a concentration on dance from the University of San Francisco. Her artistic and academic journey has been marked by a profound commitment to the transformative power of movement. Saharla’s teaching and performances encourage and celebrate the intersecting identities that make up who we are and inform how we all engage with the world and each other. She does this in the spaces of queer nightlife entertainment, early childhood dance education, and through collaborative dance performances. Saharla strives to be a beacon of self-expression, harnessing the liberating power of dance to ignite a sense of freedom through community.
