All of you is welcome.
We don’t care how you dance or how you look. We’re inclusive of all dancers aged 18+. This is a safe space for your gloriously imperfect self to let it all hang out.

Movement is a profound practice that builds resilience.
Deep Dance is a lightly guided experience to encourage you to open new places in yourself. Our facilitation is optional - let it push your edges or just use it as an invitation to expand your body awareness.

Dance floors should be somatically intelligent.
Our facilitation is trauma-informed and designed to deepen your relationship with your body. We take care of your nervous system - and we believe that when we’re embodied, we become better leaders.

Community is true wealth.
Dance is a vehicle of connection and a teacher of intimacy. In our disconnected world, we need to practice the skills it takes to cultivate (and keep!) relationships. When we’re supported by a village, we thrive.

A: Deep Dance is a moving meditation - at times reverent, at times irreverent. Our DJ leads play music in a classic arc format from slow warmup to a big crescendo and then back down again, guided by the music and our DJ Leads. We do a little warm up together at the beginning to set the stage and to kick off the group vibe.
-
We will be hosting live DJs from the LA freeform dance community and beyond. See our current schedule here.

What to expect
A safe, supportive, fun environment for connecting with yourself and others.
Deep Dance is a lightly guided, non-choreographed movement practice where you'll be encouraged to move your body in whatever ways feel good to you.
It's not about how you look - we even cover the mirrors so you can focus on your internal experience.
It's okay to be nervous - most people are their first time!
In this practice, all of you is welcome and you can't get it wrong.
We ask that you silence your cell phone and refrain from taking photos or videos.
There is no talking during the class.
You may dance barefoot or in (non-street) shoes.
Partnering is always optional - please respect the boundaries of your fellow dancers.
