Cathartica: Freeform Dance ft. RËIA & JK47

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

*ticket sales end at 6pm, but you can buy them at the door for $30 cash/venmo*

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 eachother safe. Look out for your fellow dancers!

Be kind, be playful, get weird.

Tickets will be available at the door for $30 - cash or venmo
