💘 EMBODIED DATING CLUB: THE PARTY | DJ STEFANO RICHETTA 💘
Embodied Dating Club is for singles who have done the inner work, love themselves, and are wondering:
Where are all the good ones?
For the ones who are done with dating apps, over the dead-end chats, and craving real chemistry, real connection, and a spark they can actually feel in their body.
Because let’s be honest: meeting through a screen has started to feel a little lifeless.
You can’t swipe your way into chemistry. You can’t text your way into connection. And no profile will ever tell you what your body feels in five seconds.
That’s why we created Embodied Dating Club: a club for singles only that creates spaces for singles to meet in real life. Not through endless small talk or dating app performance, but through presence, play, flirtation, and real connection.
And for this edition, we’re taking it one step further:
We’re meeting on the dance floor. 💘
First, we open the room together in a two-hour embodied dating workshop. You meet, play, flirt, soften, and get out of your head. Then the lights shift, the bar opens, Stefano takes over the music, and we see what happens when you bring that same openness onto the dance floor.
By the time the music starts, you’ve already connected. The room already has a pulse. Now you get to dance with it.
🫀 WHAT DO WE MEAN BY EMBODIED? 🫀
Embodiment simply means noticing what is happening in your body while you connect: your breath, curiosity, attraction, tension, ease, boundaries, and your yes, no and maybe.
Instead of only analyzing from the mind, you learn to notice the information your body is already giving you. Being in your body brings you into the present moment. It helps you loosen the grip of the controlling mind, let go of judgments and expectations, and arrive more fully with what is actually here.
In dating, you may also meet fears, protective patterns or expectations that usually stay hidden. Not to fix them, but to notice them, feel them, and create a little more space around them.
Less forcing. Less performing. More flow.
We use breath, movement, sound, eye contact, sensory awareness and playful relational exercises to help you slow down, become more present and stay connected to yourself while meeting someone else.
This is not a tantra workshop and there is no expectation of intimacy or touch. Everything is optional. Clothes stay on. You are always invited to listen to your own body and choose what feels right for you.
💬 “At some point I was just here. All the overthinking, all the voices, all the possibilities just went silent and quiet. So I could be in my body.”

💬 “It’s not often that I can soften up as much as I did tonight.”

🕺 WHO THIS IS FOR 🕺
This is for you if:
♥ You’re single
♥ You’ve done inner work and have a healthy relationship with yourself
♥ You’re done with dating apps, or at least deeply unimpressed by them
♥ You miss flirting in real life
♥ You want to meet people with depth, presence and actual availability
♥ You’re open to connection, play and letting your body be part of the conversation
♥ You’re willing to step a little outside your comfort zone and stay curious
All forms of relating are welcome: monogamous, poly, open, ENM, or still figuring it out, as long as you are single.
Maybe you’ll meet someone interesting. Maybe you’ll have a ridiculously fun night. Maybe you’ll dance with someone you would never have swiped right on. Maybe you’ll discover a part of yourself that feels bolder, softer or more flirtatious than you thought.
Maybe you’ll meet your next great love.
Maybe you’ll meet the one.
You never know.
But it will definitely beat another dry “hey, how was your week?” in your inbox.

🎧 OUR DJ 🎧
Stefano Richetta
Stefano is the owner of KAAP Amsterdam and a DJ with a long love affair with house music, dance floors and bringing people together.
His sets are warm, uplifting and made for a room that wants to move. For this night, he takes over right after the workshop and carries the energy into the party.
The workshop opens the room. The music takes it from there.

💘 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.
Being in a room full of singles creates possibility. It does not mean anyone owes anyone attention, flirting, touch, a dance, a phone number or a date.
The bar is open and alcohol is available. Enjoy yourself while staying present enough to feel yourself and respect others.
Phones stay away on the dance floor. This is a night to experience, not document.
