*** Tickets on the website http://schmusen.dance ***Dear sensual friends of electronic dance music, and heartfelt connections,
“Dancen und Schmusen!”, the sex-positive techno party, is thrilled to open the doors for another round. Get your tickets now!
We are excited to welcome you to our extravagant event: “Awaken the Primal: an experience of untamed energy and pulsating beats”. A sex-positive celebration embracing openness, exploration, and shared passion. This wild gathering of untamed creatures will bring together a diverse community of courageous individuals who value exploring human connections and the rawness they offer.
You are invited to explore all aspects of sensuality and primal energy: meeting pleasure, solo or relating with others. This is a sex-positive, body-positive, consent-based space open to all sexes & genders. Let's immerse ourselves in the allure of shared human experiences, the thrill of exploring, and the boldness to connect. This celebration is for everyone who wants to embrace their sensuality, meet new people, express their desires, and be mindful of each other: a party of love, mindfulness, and honesty! We want to live in the moment, celebrate the joy of connection, and be mindful of each other. We encourage the free flow of imagination, curiosity, and expression.
*** Dress code: Wild Glamour ***
Unleash your seductive side with a touch of primal elegance. Think sleek leather, sensual feathers, and daring feline patterns blended with glamorous accents. Play with earthy tones, fierce textures, and striking statement pieces. Add a hint of sophistication with flowing fabrics, shimmering details, or sleek accessories. Let your sexy outfit tease. Be fierce, provocative, and irresistibly glamorous.
Come comfortable, come audacious, come as a representation of you. Don't be afraid to step out of your cocoon and let your wild glamour shine. Bring your fierceness, your courage, your sensual side. However, remember that your comfort is important; there is no pressure to expose more skin than you're comfortable with. We're sure you can think of something that will make you feel wild, yet comfortable.
At LendLOVED, feel free to tread barefoot or in socks, but please, no shoes inside.
While every interpretation of our theme is welcome, streetwear and casual clothing are strictly FORBIDDEN! We will not let you in if your outfit can be worn at your mom's birthday or workplace!
Not allowed: shoes, streetwear, body paint, and glitter.
*** Etiquette ***
In addition to the best music, we want to cuddle. We want to create a space where we can be who we want to be, where we feel comfortable, where we enjoy being. Let's invite love, tenderness, mindfulness and enjoy them. We want to dance, cuddle, and love.
But we have to take care of each other and respect a 'no'. Before we do anything, we ask for consent.
If you or anyone else is unwell or misbehaving, please report to the team or bar immediately. We are here for you. We have absolutely no room for racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, inconsideration, dishonesty.
If consent is violated, you will be immediately expelled from the premises and banned from future events.

*** Agreements ***
There are two agreements for our evening together:
1. Consent
We are honest with each other, i.e. we follow our impulses and show our limits! We respect every no and thank each other for it. Only a clear YES means YES. Consent can be withdrawn at any time and without explanation. With the traffic light code we can say what we want in a short word at any time and receive clear messages from our counterpart:
GREEN: Feel free to continue with what you are doing! You can also intensify it! I like it!
YELLOW: What you are doing right now is reaching one of my limits. Please slow down a bit or stop! I need to feel it out to see if I like it. I'll let you know if you need to change anything. Maybe I just need to change position of my arm.
RED: Stop what you are doing and get out of touch for a moment! We have crossed a boundary. After that, maybe we can start anew in the encounter! We welcome, appreciate, and thank a red.
2. Live the moment
Nothing we do this evening has binding consequences for the future, i.e. if we dance together, it doesn't mean we kiss. And if we kiss, it doesn't mean we're going to exchange phone numbers or go home together or have sex or get married and have kids - it just means we both feel like kissing right now - nothing else and it has no effect on the future!
*** Timeline ***
Admission will only be possible from 16:30 to 17:00 on this evening - after that the doors will be closed. If you want to come, do so before 17:00!
There will be no tickets at the door. You must buy a ticket online beforehand.
*** Audiovisual stimulation ***
The typical DBSM - DemBambiSeiMudder sound is back for your eyes and ears: hard, dirty, melodic, deep and danceable. Electro, techno, dirty. The later, the harder.
Of course, DemBambiSeiMudder will be back with his light show, offering a multisensory fireworks display
*** Who is inviting? ***
DBSM - DemBambiSeiMudder (he/him), many also know him as Oz, is a DJ, light artist and crazy. He is not only the creative mind and space creator behind Dancen und Schmusen!, he has also (co-)organised various other S+ events. He has worked extensively on the topics of anti-sexist awareness and trauma-awareness to make this space as safe and as inclusive as possible. He graduated from the Sensual Arts School and is participated in the Consent and Leadership series of the Consent Academy and participated in the training for Festival Organizers of sexism free night.
_KaliRising_ (she/her)
Kali is a wild child who believes in the celebration of the body and bringing desires to life.
Leaving the corporate world, her path led her to trainings in India and Spain to share multi-styled yoga practices (Kundalini-Hatha/Hot Vinyasa). Her interest in the body brought Reiki and Somatic Attachment Therapy as modalities she offers. Becoming a woman’s circle facilitator through the Sistership Circle, her passion for creating spaces of permission and vulnerability as a shared value grew. Having graduated from the Sensual Arts School, she has immersed herself to be of service in facilitator training, and multiple retreats: curating journeys that blend connection to spirit and sensuality.
*** Inclusivity ***
We would like to invite everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, preferences, origin, relationship model, etc. to this event. We have no place for homophobia, racism, body-shaming, or any kind of hate, but also not for dishonesty.
Unfortunately, the Lendloft is only accessible via stairs, so if this is a problem for you, please get in touch with us and we can discuss whether there is a solution.
*** No Photo Policy ***
Photos are nice, but the best memories stay in our heads. As we want to celebrate who we want to be, and respect each other's privacy, photos are absolutely forbidden!
*** Health & Safety
Although not mandatory for this event, we encourage regular STI testing.
COVID-19 tests or vaccinations are not mandatory to participate in this event. However, we do ask that if you have symptoms or recent contact with a person who has tested positive, to stay at home. In this case we will of course refund the ticket costs.
*** Sobriety ***
This is not a sober event. Do what you want. If you feel like it, we have alcoholic drinks for you at the bar. But we ask you to consume only enough so that you can still perceive and respect boundaries, your own boundaries and the boundaries of others.
*** Bring along ***
Please bring a bag or backpack in which you can store your streetwear during the event. For smokers, we recommend a sarong or kimono, so you don't get too cold outside. Also, the terrace can be seen from the neighbours, so please consider that.
As this is a very long event, we invite you to bring something to eat. There will be a break after the workshops, so make sure to bring something to feast.
There will be no ticket sales at the location. You must buy a ticket online and show it at the door!
*** Helping ***
You want to help, contribute, perform, show your art? Please contact us: [email protected]
*** Feedback ***
We are open to questions, suggestions, ideas, feedback, requests and criticism. Please drop us a line at any time. We will get back to you as soon as possible. While we are open to hearing your feedback, we will not promise to implement every idea or change our vision
