About this dance

Dance is Medicine.

We are honored to be part of Pride weekend, providing a safe place to get our bodies activated for a full night of expression and celebration.

From Big Sur to San Francisco, we practice intentional dance through a journey of sound waves and musical genres.

Enjoy a transformative evening of embodied movement with our Big Sur Coastal DJ’s Matthew and Hunter, who will encourage us to open up, feel inspired, sensual and curious.

This is a sober event.

Getting there

Snap your fingers and hope for the best.

Reminder: we are in the city, so please make sure to keep your seats clear of anything that may be tempting to a person walking by.

Three simple guidelines

Learn more about ecstatic dance
1

We dance barefoot

This allows us to connect more fully with the ground. Socks are OK, and dance shoes are fine if a physical condition calls for them.

2

We dance without words

This makes it easier to be in a meditative state. No verbal instruction from the facilitators, no talking from the dancers.

3

We dance sober, as we are

No drugs or alcohol, no phones or cameras, no scents. Just be yourself, with respect for ourselves, the space and one another.
