Imagine the freedom of Ecstatic Dance...
but than flowing with TWO!
Gender doesn’t matter. Each dance you decide who would lead-follow or if you want to switch that during the dance, or maybe it isn’t even clear (like in contact improv).
You DON’T NEED any EXPERIENCE to have fun!

- This is an alcohol-free event.
- Consent is key. Ask & respect a "no”.
- Everyone can invite each other (non-)verbally to dance a(nother) song.
- Check in with your dance partner: do you want to lead, follow or switch roles?
- Ask if your partner is comfortable with a close embrace, with lifts or dips.
- Does a dance feel uncomfortable? Be creative: how can I make it a pleasant/inspiring experience? Express your needs and boundaries. At any time you can end a dance.
- If someone felt uncomfortable in the interaction with you, listen attentively, give apologies if needed & learn from the experience.
