Eros is a fundamental part of the human experience and a vital component of our health and wellbeing. We believe suppression of this powerful creative aspect of our nature leads to many forms of emotional and physical disease, as well as unhealthy and harmful expressions of sexuality in our culture. 

 

Our dance floor is a safe place to learn about and deepen our relationship with all the parts of our being.  We do this through self inquiry and exploring free, uninhibited expression in our movement.  However, there are always guidelines to keep the space safe and allow all participants the opportunity to go deep into their own practice without distraction.  

 

We acknowledge guidelines like this do not always come with clear, black & white boundaries.  They exist to create an awareness/consciousness that develops with practice when sharing space.  This higher level consciousness requires a willingness on everyone’s part to tend and contribute to the group field, along with their personal needs and desires. 

​

Guidelines regarding eros in our space.

 

• Eros is allowed and celebrated, along with all other parts of you.​

 

• Your expression of eros, like any other feeling or emotion, should always remain mindful of the others in the space. Your sexy dance is beautiful, and please remember it can be distracting and activating for others.  Like any other expression, it should not be so prolonged or overt that it begins to dominate the space.

​

Guiding questions to help you find the appropriate balance in the moment…

 

• Is this energy serving your dance practice?   

• Are you still in your dance, or has this become something else?

• Where is your awareness?  Are you tracking the other dancers around you and participating in the group experience, or have you created an awareness bubble around you and/or your partner?

• Do you sense impact on the group experience?

• Is it performative?  (Are you trying to capture the attention of those around you?)   

• How long have you been in this eros space?  

• Has it become the focus of your dance?   

• Are you trying to get something from someone? (i.e. Are you more focused on your desires than the dance?)

​

Eros can be present in your dance as long as the dance remains.
