Our weekly dances have a new, expanded format…come experience the evolution!

//// Arrive/depart whenever you like.
//// Move however you wish.
//// Take 100% responsibility for your experience

** You are always at choice about your participation and whether you want to remain solo or connect with other people.

WARM-UP CLASS….expect something like yoga, contact, qi gong, microfusion, axis syllabus, and so on. We have a variety of teachers each with their own passion and expertise to get you warmed up and connected for the dance journey ahead. See teacher schedule below.

DANCE JOURNEY….we have a rotating team of resident DJs with occasional guest DJs from out of town. Enjoy a two-hour, DJ’d musical “journey”. Music for the first 10-15 minutes is ambient and downtempo for you to drop in and move slowly. The tempo begins to build gradually from there reaching a peak or catharsis in the second half of the dance. Afterwards the music comes down, softening and slowing towards the end for relaxation and rest as we conclude the dance.

SOUND INTEGRATION….local (and out-of-town) sound healers and musicians/vocal artists will provide the vibrational and energetic space for integration afterwards. Afterwards we end with a closing circle for you to share some of your experience if you like and to make announcements and give gratitude.

In sum, the expanded version of our weekly dances is just over 3 hours total and is inspired by other communities who’ve grown in this way before us.

** Dance Guidelines **

>> Be yourself, accept others.
>> Respect the space and everyone in it.
>> Yes to embodiment, creativity, and community!

Please keep this space drug/alcohol free and conversation off the dance floor! Turn phones and devices off if you can and please only use or check them if absolutely necessary (away from the dance area).

*** We gather on Wednesday evenings as well and you’ll definitely want to  check that out too for the nighttime dance vibes! These two weekly S O U L A R U S dances happen at the same location 1620 Seabright Ave at the new Yoga Center Santa Cruz.

S O U L A R U S is a unique expression of the global conscious/ecstatic dance movement. It is a place for freeform dance and movement meditation with a rich musical tapestry spun by passionate and caring DJs. It is a non-conversational space where we express with our bodies. All are welcome over 14 years of age.

The dance space is sacred. Move in the way that feels right for you. Dance however you wish. We support each individual’s range and style of expression while respecting and considering our impact on each other and the space.

Wear comfortable clothing that you can move easily in. Bring water and anything else you might need to dance deep, wide, and free.
