Ecstatic Dance

Real Dance is 90 minutes of musical refuge.

Clear agreements and a welcoming atmosphere make it easy to relax into the music and move freely.

Your nervous system doesn’t want another Netflix binge 📺🍿 or bar night 🍻🌙.
It wants you to regulate 🫁💓.
It wants you dancing wildly 💃🕺🔥 with sober 🚫🍺, present 👁️, fully alive ⚡ humans 🫶

This isn’t a class 🚫📚.
It isn’t a performance 🚫🎭.
There’s no choreography to follow ❌🩰 and no technique to get right ❌📏.

Real Dance is a weekly 🗓️, music-forward 🎶 movement space held in a clear 🫧, supportive 🤝 container 🧺.
The music is intentionally curated 🎧✨: joyful melodies 🌈🎵, room for emotional release 🌊😭, and lyrics that carry meaning 📝💛.
The playlist unfolds as a gentle arc 🌅➡️🔥➡️🌙, opening 🌤️, energizing ⚡, then soothing 🌊, creating space for reflection 🪞 and personal meaning-making through movement 💫.

🚀 The Dances are in spacious 🌌 rooms with high ceilings 🌌
Ringstar Studio features thick rubber flooring 🦶✨ ideal for barefoot movement.
Hoover Street Studio is ideal for dance 🦶✨ with sprung Marley floors, and acoustic padding for optimal sound.

Earplugs 🎧 available. 💛

Parents! Children 12 and under are free with a paying adult. Teens attend at the standard rate with a guardian present to sign them in at the start.

Move freely 🌀.
Take breaks 🧘.
Witness gently 👀💗.
Or simply listen 🎧🌌.

Clear, posted agreements 📜 help create a container of mutual care 🫶 and respect 🤝.
You’re welcome exactly as you are 🌿 — even if that means quiet 🤫, tender 🥺, awkward 😅, or unsure 🌫️.

Driving Directions and Parking:Ringstar Studio has ample parking 🚗.

Hoover Street Studio has free parking in the blue lot Ⓜ️ across the street. Follow the one way sign directly across the street, and it loops around to parking. Park in any space. There are two overflow lots at Greene, both free at night.
