Cathartica: Freeform Dance ft. Da Moth & Obscenic

Cathartica is a bass music forward freeform dance. Expect a genre-fluid journey that inspires creative movements in your body - with plenty of whomps, wubs, and bounce.

We're taking a little break before the next because Cayla's getting a lil' gender affirming surgery! We don't know when the next date will be, join our mailing list or partiful to find out about the next!

Guidelines of Cathartica

1. Please keep conversations to a minimum on the dance floor - This is a dance event, not a networking event! Please take longer conversations to the edges of the space and mezzanine.

2. Protect the floors and our toes - no outside shoes please! Bare feet, socks, and clean, inside shoes are welcome and celebrated.

3. Stay aware and in control - Open use of drugs & alcohol is not the vibe. No smoking or vaping indoors.

4. Respect everyone’s privacy - no photos or videos of other dancers without their explicit consent.

5. Be mindful and respect each other’s boundaries -Ask before you dance with someone and especially before you make physical contact. Don’t be a creep.

6. Share the Space - Yes. Your dance moves are DOPE. Leave room for other people's DOPE dance moves. Don't let your dance thing take over the space.

There will be zero tolerance for over-intoxication, harassment, violence, or other unsafe behavior.

Scouts are here to help!

If you see/experience concerning or inappropriate behavior on the dance floor, our designated team of Scouts is available to provide support. Scouts will be wearing bright-colored vests and roaming the space to stay easily accessible.

Though the organizers and volunteers intentionally work to create a safe space, we ultimately keep each other safe. Look out for your fellow dancers!

Be kind, be playful, get weird.
