Barefoot Boogie is a shoe-less dance party where everything and anything (within reason) is encouraged. Spend it shaking your booty, rolling on the floor, running in circles, stretching in the corner, improvising to the music or to your own internal rhythm. This is You time. Be free with your energy, your choices, and quality of expression. Consideration and awareness of the space and others is a must of course. Music will be curated for maximum inspiration! Come dance, explore, express and play!

I will lead a short warm up and you will have an hour to move in whatever way your energy dictates. Loosely based on Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms which is described as “a dynamic movement practice—a practice of being in your body—that ignites creativity, connection, and community.”

Although I am not a 5Rhythms certified instructor, I have been to many 5Rhythms practices and have enjoyed a lifetime of dancing, performing, and improvising. My dance background includes an array of styles and techniques from West African to Afro-Cuban to Brazilian to Modern to Aerial to Hip Hop to Salsa and recently to Tango.

Let’s come together and celebrate music, movement, self-expression and play! An energy is created by dancing together…it’s hard to explain but it’s definitely palpable! We only ask that you be respectful of others and the space and leave your shoes at the door :)

Space is limited so please pre-register via Venmo. You are welcome to pay with cash or Venmo at the door but know there’s a chance the room might be at capacity.
