It’s about that time again friends…
Ecstatic Equinox 2025! Ow OWWWW!
I dearly love celebrating the changing tides of the sun with community, dance, and if our feet aren’t dirty- are we even celebrating??
And that’s exactly what we’re doing on this Ecstatic Equinox. Celebrating the rhythm of life; the transition from summer to fall; the balance of day & night; & the transition into longer nights.
We have DJ @dara.rishi throwing down the rhythms of afro house, deep house, and downtempo. Dara has a gift of weaving beats with thought-provoking lyrics. Expect to be taken on a ride of addicting rhythm combined with deep meaning… perfect for this Fall Equinox✨
@padme.belly is BACK with her delicious fall menu- equipped with delicious soups, grilled cheeses, thirst-quenching fizzy yummy drinks, and more. Because how could we dance this hard & not enjoy yummy homemade food after??
Keep an eye out for the menu to drop this week so you save 10% by getting your pre-orders in.
Because it’s the Equinox, I love bringing in some extra treats. For this dance, we’re bringing in some adornment with henna by @ ! Set your intentions for the fall, weave them in to your adorned design, feel in awe of them & be reminded of your intention days-weeks after the dance.
Prices start at $15 for adults and $12 for kids. Come early to make sure you get your design in!
Speaking of early.. we’re doing things a little different this go-around.
Join us from 6-7pm, before doors open, for a fascial maneuver class facilitated by @ants-humble. Fascial maneuvers are gentle, intentional movements that unwind tension, improve circulation, and reset the nervous system- purrrrrrfect to do before the dance; it’s like hitting reset on your body so you can dance w more ease, freedom, & connection. Sign up separately for $10✨
And to really top off this celebration, we’re opening the space with a cacao ceremony to really drop us into our hearts & most authentic expression.
Following the ceremony, we dive into an introduction to contact improv guided by noonnahs. This is a playful, improvised dance where 2 or more people move together by sharing touch, weight, and momentum. It’s about sharing trust, balance, and connection- making the equinox alive in the body; the dance of polarity, the practice of balance, the ritual of trust.

This is more than just a dance- this is a space to connect with yourself, community, and the celestials above.
A space to express your most authentic self in a loving & accepting container.
A space to reflect on balance within your life. What does it mean to journey through the darkness with the sun as your guide?
