💘 Embodied Dating Club: the Party 💘

Friday, October 9, 2026 | KAAP Amsterdam
Workshop 19:00–21:00 | Party 21:00–01:00

We have seen what happens after an Embodied Dating Club workshop.

People arrive curious, nervous, maybe a little guarded. And they leave more open. Softer. Braver. More playful. More connected to themselves and to each other.

Now imagine bringing that energy onto the dance floor.

A playground full of singles. House music. Real-life flirting. No guessing who is available. No endless chatting through a screen. Just good people who are happy in their lives and open to meeting someone.

💘 Where are all the good ones? 💘

Here.

Embodied Dating Club: the Party is for singles who want connection to feel alive again. For people who love their life, have done some inner work, and still believe meeting someone can be exciting, playful, and real.

Sometimes it starts with a conversation.

Sometimes with a look.
A smile.
A shared rhythm.
The courage to step a little closer.

💘 The evening 💘

19:00–21:00 | Embodied Dating Workshop

Denise and Ariël guide you through a playful, body-based workshop designed to help you move out of your head and into real contact.

You will meet other singles through presence, movement, curiosity, the senses, and flirtation.

By the time the music begins, you have already met people, shared real moments, and softened the usual social armour.

You do not enter the party cold.

You enter open, connected, and ready to play.

Workshop tickets are limited to keep the experience personal and well-held.

21:00–01:00 | The Party

At 21:00, the doors open for party-only guests, the bar opens, and DJ Stefano Richetta takes over with house music.

Denise and Ariël will open the party together before the dance floor takes the lead.

Dance with someone new.
Start a conversation at the bar.
Exchange a look across the room.
Let yourself be approached.
Or simply lose yourself in the music and see what finds you there.

Near the end of the night, we gather for a shared closing. Afterwards, there is time to chill, connect, exchange details, and let the night land before heading home.

💘 Our party agreements 💘

We are creating a conscious, consent-based space where connection can unfold naturally.

Everything is an invitation. You can pause, change your mind, express a boundary, or choose not to participate. The workshop offers a playful place to practise asking, receiving, feeling your yes and no, and staying connected to yourself while meeting others.

We are dropping expectations and hunting energy. Instead of scanning the room for the perfect match, we practise being open and attuned to the people who are actually here.

Being in a room full of singles creates possibility. It does not mean anything has to happen.

The bar is open and alcohol is available. We love awareness, and we also love pleasure, celebration, dancing, and enjoying life in all its flavours. Enjoy a drink while staying present enough to feel yourself, respect others, and remember who you flirted with.

Phones stay away on the dance floor. This is a night to experience, not document.
