The fires of Beltane still flicker in the collective field, and nature reminds us what it means to express fully, to embody life without holding back. We are invoking this dance with the name - TEMPLE OF MAY - as a space to honor this sacred season — through music, movement, ceremony, and creative expression. It’s a gathering rooted in presence, where the dance becomes not just an experience, but a practice. A place to remember that how we move on the dance floor is a reflection of how we move through the world. Temple of May will now be INDOORS at Ambient + Studio due to rain. 🌧️ Come as you are. Bring your breath, your bare feet, your full self. Together, we build a temple not with bricks or walls — but with rhythm, connection, and devotion to the dance. All children are welcome. 💫 OFFERINGS FOR THIS DANCE — Opening Movement Warm-Up by Ashtara Kukuk (Goldnwav) — DJ Sets by Goldnwav B2B SUPERPOWERS & Scott Houston — Live Drumming by AJ Nocito + Drumming Drake — Ceremony & Space Holding by Maya Lemberg — Live Painting by Christine Canale — Closing Sound Healing by Auraweaver + Friends — Ionized Water by Wholistic Elements Whether you come to sweat, to soften, to shake off the week, or to reconnect with your joy — this space is yours.

WHAT WE DO: Sol Dance is a free-form movement experience where all bodies are welcomed. We offer a gently guided sensory journey meant to be experienced in its entirety. The music is meticulously curated by Sol Dance Co-Founder & Resident DJ – Scott Houston – alongside talented guest DJs, facilitators, percussionists & sound healers. You can expect a culturally-diverse blend of electronic and acoustic sounds, skillfully attuned to the energy of the group. Beginning with an opening meditation and moving into deeper, slower sounds, the bpm & energy peak in the middle, and are finally brought back down, closing with meditative sound healing and a gratitude circle.
