WARM-UP CLASS....expect something like yoga, contact, qi gong, microfusion, axis syllabus, and so on. We have a variety of teachers each with their own passion and expertise to get you warmed up and connected for the dance journey ahead. See teacher schedule below. DANCE JOURNEY....we have a rotating team of resident DJs with occasional guest DJs from out of town. Enjoy a two-hour, DJ'd musical "journey". Music for the first 10-15 minutes is ambient and downtempo for you to drop in and move slowly. 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. ABOUT THE DJ: Since grade school, Avira has been immersed in choir, dance, and the world of music. Her love affair with electronic music took root on the pulsing dance floors of underground raves, eventually leading her to the transformative world of ecstatic dance. With an eclectic and expansive taste, Avira crafts immersive sonic landscapes that invite dancers into a richly textured and deeply felt experience. Driven by a passion for personal and collective healing, Avira curates her sets with an intuitive blend of celebration, soulfulness, and emotional depth. Her music has been described as a luscious blend of dynamic, whompy, vibrant, world, bass, and house music - designed to move not only the body but also the heart and spirit. Through conscious dance, she creates sacred spaces where movement becomes medicine, offering dancers a gateway to connection, release, and profound self-discovery.

Afterwards we end with a closing circle for you to share some of your experience if you like and to make announcements and give gratitude. In sum, the expanded version of our weekly dances is just over 3 hours total and is inspired by other communities who've grown in this way before us. ------------------------- Tickets at the Door: $20 for circle passes when bought in 4 packs $25 drop-in Please pay in cash if possible otherwise a service fee is added Kids are free!
