Autumn Moon: Ecstatic Dance + Contact Improv

Serpentine Salua will guide us through an unforgettable journey of sound and movement, blending tribal and indigenous rhythms with downtempo electronic wubs. Rooted in her Colombian heritage, Salua brings the transformative energy of the serpent—embodying the eternal dance of death and rebirth. Her sets are designed to stir emotion and unlock authentic movement, inviting us to reconnect with the Earth and ourselves.

Inspired by artists like Mose, Porangui, and Liquid Bloom, Salua’s music turns the dance floor into sacred space, creating room for deep healing and personal transformation. Come ready to shed, renew, and step into the next chapter as we dance beneath the light of the Autumn Moon.

Ecstatic Dance Guidelines

Silent Dance Floor: Please refrain from talking on the dance floor.
Shoes Off: Embrace the freedom of movement by dancing without shoes.
Substance-Free Zone: To keep this event safe and welcoming for all, please refrain from using drugs or alcohol. This is a kid-friendly environment.
Comfortable Attire: Wear clothes that allow you to move freely, like you would for yoga. Dress in a way that supports your fullest expression. No inappropriate attire to maintain a safe & welcoming atmosphere.
Scent-Free: Please avoid heavy scents or perfumes to respect everyone's sensitivity.

Practice Heart-Centered Consent

Space for Everyone: Honor each person’s need for space to dance on their own.
Connecting Mindfully: To engage with others, make eye contact and wait for a mutual 'yes'.
Solo Dancers’ Boundaries: Respect those who are dancing alone.
Gratitude Gesture: Hands in prayer signify, "I see you, and thank you for the dance (that just ended)."
This is a sacred space for healing, connection, and expression. Let’s co-create an environment where everyone feels safe and respected. Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
Nurture Your Body: Love yourself by staying hydrated and listening to your body’s needs.
