Guidelines for Practice
Dance with intention
Please refrain from speaking on the dance floor during practice time. Feel free to express through the body or take conversations to the foyer.
Prioritize Safety
No street shoes on the dance floors. Socks are dangerous on wood floors – please take caution. Indoor dance shoes are welcome.
Keep Interactions Mindful
Please respect boundaries and get consent (nonverbal cues) before touching or coming very close to anyone. A simple hands-up gesture is an excellent and welcome way to express boundaries.
Honor Your Journey
All guidance is an invitation. Stepping out of your comfort zone is fruitful, reliving trauma or excessive pain is not. Please listen to your embodied wisdom and take your own measure.
Keep it Safe & Sound
Please do not come to class under the influence of alcohol or psychoactive plants or substances. This is for both safety and to preserve the ceremonial container for movement medicine.
