Join us in co-creating a new dance culture focused on safety, inclusivity, permission & possibilities. One that invites Fusion, Contact Improv, Ecstatic Dance, conscious dance/movement forms and Sex/Kink-Positive communities to blend & play together on one dance floor. Our intention is to create a community culture that focuses on attunement, inclusivity, and exploration, while catering to the accessibility & safety of Trans/NB/Queer, BIPOC, and differently abled communities.
We’ve secured a gorgeous 5,000 square foot dance floor in Oakland for every 1st Friday of the month. Our vision is to grow this into a weekly community place to gather, dance, play and explore together. We invite you to come and help us bring this vision to life!

Blindfolded Contact ~ Surrendering To Our Inner Sight
Blindfolded Contact Dance is a safe and gentle experience—great for both beginners and experienced dancers alike. Wearing blindfolds allows dancers to drop the fear and self-judgment that often inhibits spontaneous movement and authentic connection to self and others.
This workshop/playshop will take participants on a journey of somatic self-discovery and non-verbal consent via solo and group exercises before culminating in a freeform blindfolded jam.
Testimonies:
“Most profound experience of my life. This is what the world needs now.”
“A beautiful exploration of touch, movement, and breath. A complete surrender into bliss.”
“This is a very powerful practice of feeling vulnerable whilst knowing that one is in a safe container. It is very healing.”
“I came into this as a shy person that never danced. The blindfold and the instructions made me comfortable to be myself.”
“Blindfolded contact may sound scary but it’s SO accessible and liberating. TRY!”
