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!

𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁
- 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.
