Amazing offerings for the evening:
Doors: 6:45p
Movement lab: 6:55-7:15p
The December movement labs with Taylor Johnson will combine elements of primal movement, mobility exercises, contact dance & somatic practice. Specifically for the sake of fun and exploring new styles of movement IN CONNECTION with others.
In his full time day job, Taylor leads men’s groups and courses focused on sexual health. And after a deep dive into the realm of somatics & movement for his own life over the past 4 years, he’s now excited to share what he has learned both in his full time work AND in movement-specific workshops for all bodies & genders.
Opening circle: 7:15p (doors closed temporarily for circle)
Live DJ : 7:25-9:05p: DJ Osiah
Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/dj_osiah/sets/dance-sets
As a dance doula, Osiah is here to help birth you through the portal of self-expression into a state of fully liberated ecstasy. His mixes are genre-bending, full spectrum experiences where no feeling is off limits, no music too taboo, where emotional archetypes are woven together to tell a story that the body understands. He guides you on a journey from stillness to chaos and then back home, keeping you in that place beyond thought, in that present moment primal feeling, redefining what is holy, wholesome and spiritual. So come twerk yourself to freedom.

Guidelines
-VOICES on the dance floor: The dance floor is a talk-free zone. This allows dancers to engage in movement as a meditation, to go within, and to be more embodied without distraction in proximity.
-VOICES off the dance floor: We have created a tea lounge and chill space off the dance floor and quiet voices are encouraged in order to engage with others in a different way when you're not dancing.
-SHOELESS: We ask that you are shoeless in the space. If you have a physical reason to wear shoes, you are welcome to - we simply ask that they are not shoes you wear on the street.
-RESPECT: Be respectful of yourself, of others, and of the space/venue.
-PHONES: the dance floor and chill spaces are phone free zones. This allows dancers to be present fully.
Beat Church was started in San Francisco in the early 2000s by the amazing DJ, Neptune, who saw a need for a new cutting edge underground dance offering.
We want to continue and build on that tradition here in Asheville for the existing vibrant dance community.
