    Note: Monday cacao dances through the summer are more relaxed on the talking guidelines and the photo/video.

    To support a meditative, embodied experience and a safe space for all, we adhere to the following guidelines:

    • We dance without words: We embrace a non-verbal space to help us drop into a meditative movement state. Exclamations and vocal expressions are always welcome!

    • Free-form movement: There is no instruction. Come as you are and let your body lead; every movement is perfect. All ability levels encouraged. There are mats/chairs to stretch, lie down on, or sit down for mediation.

    • Consent: Always be mindful and respectful of personal space. ensuring a clear "yes" before beginning to dance with someone.

    • Barefoot: We dance with shoes off to connect more fully with the ground. If you have a physical condition that you need shoes, please wear designated dance shoes.

    • Tech-free: To stay fully present in our experience and respect the privacy of all, we ask that phones are put away – no photos or videos.

    • Sober Space: To allow the dance be our high, we maintain a substance-free environment.

    Thank you for maintaining the container with us for all backgrounds, identities, expressions, ages, and ability levels to embrace the power of movement within this community.

  • DJ compensation is a split of the door price and varies with turnout throughout the seasons. We offer a $200 minimum year-round.

    We consider higher minimums during the Spring/Summer months. Special arrangements must be discussed at time of booking.
