Living Arts Dancewaves strives to create an inclusive space for people to move freely and express themselves creatively. Participants may experience the euphoria of music, rhythm, and connection with themselves, others, and their environment. Over the course of 60 minutes, curated music is woven together in a wave format- starting slow, building to a peak, and then returning to stillness.
Dancewaves are a versatile activity that is inclusive of all ages, physical bodies, cultural backgrounds, identities, and dance abilities. We strive to create a space that is welcoming to all.
We are an intentional, radically-inclusive, LGBTQ+, multiracial, and multicultural community for healing and wellness through movement.
Move, rest and be as you feel called.
