Welcome to the get together
We come to dance
To dance ugly, to dance happy, to dance the get through.
To find ourselves, alone + together.
Shedding fear + shame to let our wild parts out to play.
These boundaries make space for us to get wild:
1. No drinks on the dance floor
2. No phones on the dance floor (we will have designated phones for promo/memories)
3. Love and respect everywhere
4. Face each other, not the DJ
Dress to express, dress to sweat, and come as you are.

About Ryan Ong
I am a queer gender agnostic chinese new yorker, a lifelong dancer and a casual meditation and mindfulness practitioner for 15 years. My practice centers around aligning the unconscious and the conscious mind through movement, boundaries, and wonder. I love to hold space, get people dancing, and getting people in their body. Movement has been a life giving practice for me and I want to share it with my community.
About Jess Here
I grew up on three continents then at age 19 I moved to NYC to study dance at The Ailey School. I’ve been dancing and singing the entire length of my memory. After graduating, I spent a season materializing my musical visions. I supported myself by working in nightlife. Simultaneously, because pain is an effective teacher, I studied Gyrokinesis, earned my trainer’s license, and have rejuvenated a wide variety of bodies. All of these paths have led me to the decks. When I DJ, I construct a temporary autonomous zone- designed to hold us while we embrace ourselves, traverse our kinetic and mental crevices, rodeo in the undercurrent, or just float around in the atmosphere. I’m here, and right now i’m on the lookout for floors to break and bodies to rock, let’s dance!
