- Monotony
And YES to…
- Excitement
- Spontaneity
- Creativity
The goal is not to replace a smooth, safe, and connected vibe with erratic, jarring, and disconnected movements. The goal is to bring BALANCE to the dancefloor:
- Bringing PLAYFULNESS to Patterns
- Bringing SURPRISE to Structure
- Bringing CREATIVITY to Connection

- $30 - $90 Sliding Scale ($60 suggested)
- No One Turned Away For Lack Of Funds (small contribution or work trade options available)
- Very limited capacity
SAFETY NOTES:
