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. Wear comfortable clothing that feels good on you and is easy to move in. Layers are suggested as the room warms up. When in yoga studios, we dance in bare feet, socks that aren’t too slippery, or light non-street shoes. Currently, this practice is intended for adults; we cannot accommodate small children in the space.

To keep our dance floor safe and collision-free, this particular space is a “no-prop zone” (no glow toys, hoops, or flow gear). However, please feel free to bring anything you need for your personal well-being, accessibility, or comfort, such as assistive devices, mobility tools, notebooks, and water bottles.

Shhh. Movement is the language of communication in this space once our dancing begins. Connect and chat with your fellow movers before or after the designated dance time!

Scents and smells. Please avoid heavily scented perfumes, lotions, and other aromatic products that can trigger allergies. Bring a towel if you sweat a lot.

Awareness. Keep a “soft gaze” if you feel the call to go wild in your movement or deep into meditation, staying aware of the other bodies in the room. This will help prevent collisions, walking into others’ paths, or disrupting 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, 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.
