Nobody turned away at the door for lack of funds.

Creative movement is a practice for all ages in which we honor the ways our bodies ache to move.

Queer Expression is creative movement in a Queer + Trans space with no steps to follow, only multi-genre music to intuitively flow to.

It is free room: a space for you to whoop and holler, lay down on the floor, stretch, cry, laugh, stand on your head, or dance your heart out!

Our creative movement practice is more of a "play space" for all ages. We provide plenty of arts and crafts for those who do not feel called to dance, instruments for noisemaking, ribbons for twirling, tons of confetti, a giant beach ball, balloons, and even a jumbo rainbow parachute to run under! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to intuitively participate.

7:00PM Doors open. Food and drinks in the garden.

7:30PM Opening circle.

8:00PM Queer Expression with music by local Trans Lesbian DJ, Jubilee (https://linktr.ee/jubilee333)

Puppcutts (Andi Carbaugh) will be giving gender-affirming haircuts, and Amanda Hansen will be providing astrology/tarot readings.

11PM Closing circle.

Please try to arrive before 7:30PM! Opening and closing the dance together honors community and allows us to truly connect with each other.

All you need to do is show up!

...but you are encouraged to bring

• a journal + a pen

• a sketchbook / craft projects

• a blanket/pillow to sit on

• juggling or flow props

• a comfort object (a stuffed animal, security blanket, sweater, etc.)

• ear plugs/headphones in case of overstimulation (if needed)

• snacks

• lots of water

We recommend you wear comfortable clothing that helps you cool off (shorts, a sports bra, loose fitting t-shirt, flowy pants, or whatever you feel comfortable sweating in)! We do have several fans in the space, but it does heat up as we dance.

PARKING

There is free parking available at the Movement Sanctuary.

REFUND POLICY

Your ticket will be refunded within 24 hours of requesting a refund as long as the refund request is at least 48 hours prior to the event.

SOCIAL AGREEMENTS

1. Opening and closing the dance together honors community and allows us to truly connect with each other.

2. You are encouraged to make lots of noise on the dance floor, but please only engage in quiet conversation.

3. Barefoot dancing is encouraged.

4. NO photography/videography on the dance floor.

5. Creative movement is traditionally a substance-free practice. However, it is your personal choice if you would like to reach your own natural state of joy. Please remain present, coherent, and responsible, and DO NOT use substances on the property itself.

6. Partner work is encouraged, but consent is mandatory. When dancing with others, listen for a yes (holding eye contact), and respect any no (like being ignored). Respect each dancer’s right to their own space.
