Friday Night is our once-a-month indoor ecstatic dance — if you’re looking for sober night life with a focus on connection, it doesn’t get more epic than this! Meet new people and get warmed-up with a guided opening experience 7-8 PM, shake it all off with a live DJ set 8-9:30 PM, then wind-down with live acoustic music, a closing circle, and community hang time til 10:30 PM!

We gather around three things: connection, play, and dancing HARD. We are a diverse community of all ages and backgrounds. Our DJs play a wide range of dynamic, upbeat music—everything from bass and hip-hop to world and classic tracks. Whether you’re looking to dive deep and move meditatively or just sweat it out to some high-energy beats, you are welcome exactly as you are.

Dancefloor Agreements:

Barefoot - Put your shoes in the cubbies and free your feet! Medically necessary footwear OK :)

Alcohol-Free - Don’t come to dance under the influence, and don’t bring substances with you. You’ll get plenty high off the vibes :)

Tech-Free - No snapping selfies or recording videos for the story!

Chit-Chat-Free - Save conversations for the Lounge, but feel free to growl, holler, or sing-a-long on the dance-floor!

Use consent - Always get clear verbal or eye-contact consent before making physical contact or getting into someone’s energy bubble.

Be YOURSELF! - ’Nuff said. ALL of you is welcome, messiness included!

Info: Inspired by contact improv, this warm-up is designed to help you arrive in your body and awaken your inner spark. You will be guided to connect with yourself, identifying the intentions you wish to summon or release during your dance. Gentle stretching and somatic practices will ground these intentions into your physical form. Then, we’ll share these visions in playful partner practices that encourage trust, attunement, and creative alchemy.
