About this Event
A Dance Class specifically designed to promote joint health through small sustainable movement patterns, cognitive strength through choreography memorization, and a chance to celebrate this beautiful life together.
This class is significant because it is "seated", meaning we use a chair for accessibility. For beginners and advanced practitioners alike, this innovative workshop uses dance making as a tool for social connection.
What to Bring:
- Comfortable clothing for movement
- An open heart & curiosity

What is "sliding scale" ticketing?
Compound's values include Belonging, Community, Compassion, and Equity, and sliding scale is a form of mutual aid that offers different price options for the same service for guests to select based on their economic needs.
We ask that you consider the price that best suits your needs, and below is a guide to help you decide which ticket to select (borrowed from this resource by Worts and Cunning).
$22: If you struggle to maintain access to needs such as health care, housing, food, child care, and are living paycheck to paycheck or are in significant debt, you belong here and you deserve a community that honors your price as equal an economic offering as the person who can pay the highest tier.
$27: If you are struggling to conquer debt or build savings or move away from paycheck to paycheck living but have access to steady income and are not spending most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc., you belong here.
$33 (suggested): If you have access to financial security, own property or have personal savings, you would not traditionally qualify for sliding scale services. If you are able to pay for "wants" and spend little time worried about securing necessities in your life, you have economic breathwork and power in our community. This price is for you, and reflects the true cost of the program.
Please note that the total ticket price includes the EventBrite service fee.
