The basics. Dancing Your Depths is a free-form movement practice with no steps or choreography but is scaffolded by a loose framework that serves as a container for our explorations. Please, no props. Wear loose, comfortable clothing; layers are suggested. When in yoga studios, we dance in bare feet, socks that aren’t too slippery, or light non-street shoes. Please bring a water bottle. Currently, this practice is intended for adults; we cannot accommodate small children in the space.

Shhh. Movement is the language of communication in this space. After checking in and getting yourself settled, please refrain from talking on the dance floor.

Scents and smells. Please be mindful of your fellow dancers in terms of body odor, while avoiding heavily scented perfumes, lotions, and other aromatic products that can trigger allergies. Bring a towel if you sweat a lot.

Awareness. If you feel compelled to go wild in your movement or deep into meditation, practice a sense of awareness while doing so. Stay aware of the other bodies in the room to ensure you don’t collide with someone, walk into others’ paths, or disrupt the general flow of the container.

Interaction & touch. Interacting with other people on the dance floor can be a great source of inspiration and connection as a human being! It is welcome here. Be attuned to your and others’ body language when initiating and responding to interactions. Touch can be a profound way of deepening connection with others, but only when the other person signals it is welcome. You are always invited to partner with another person or group of people, but please refrain from gymnastics or acrobatic maneuvers that could be disruptive.
