Tonight, Feb 10th! Snuggle Dance!

Please NOTE: The entry deadline is at 7:30pm so everyone is at our opening orientation. Join us for round 5 of this yummy event, an evening of oxytocin-rich dance, snuggling, and refreshments. We’ll be exploring connection and affection in a range of ways—held by the flow of Ecstatic Dance DJs and the safe boundaries of a non-sexual snuggle party. Snuggle Dance has three distinct spaces: downtempo dance floor, social salon, and snuggle lounge. People circulate freely among these different spaces throughout the evening, connecting in whatever ways feel most nourishing and safe. Guidance will be provided on communicating your boundaries with clarity & kindness, how to invite touch, and to express your authentic yes's & no's. This is a space to explore how group hugs, foot rubs, Contact Improv, head massages, or even "no touch" can be profound. Come play, share, and heal with touch & authentic movement as vital forms of nourishment. http://www.snuggledance.com/ Saturday, February 10th 6:45pm–11:00pm Eugene Garden Club, 1645 High Street $15–20 (sliding scale) cash or check at the door 6:30pm: Doors open 6:45pm: Dance warm-up begins 7:30pm: Entry deadline!
