Current Schedule (updated 10/21/2025)

Ground Swell is a reoccurring event for people interested in dance as a(n):

  • way to have fun!

  • experience of metabolizing stress

  • space to express oneself timidly, boldly, sensually, playfully

  • practice for co-regulating with others non-verbally


We limit some behaviors in effort to create an experience that can help us express ourselves more fully and safely:

  • We are soberly wild (no alchohol)

  • We refrain from chatting while dancing

  • We leave our phones out of the space

  • We make friends, but aren’t there to cruise for a hook-up

“Ground Swell has been a space of opening for me. I have discovered parts of myself that were once hidden and hungry, but now feel so alive in me.” — Sose
