Description

Are you afraid of dancing? Do you have no idea how to move your body? Want to join a weird, experimental descent into dance hell where nobody looks good and grace doesn't matter? We'll start with some technical instruction for good dance basics and see how we can connect those basics to raw expression, and gradually morph into a full-blown, but very weird, ecstatic-esque dance thing. Doors CLOSE at 8:30, please arrive before then. Any late arrivals will not be allowed in. (This class is flexible; you can engage with it how you want, even if it's "lying still on the floor the entire time", and will probably be fun even if you are a good dancer) This experience can get pretty dark, and can bring up painful emotions. Please only come if you feel you're in a state of mind to handle this well. Also: Looking for volunteers to handle front desk and ticket checkin, in exchange for a free ticket. Aella is comfortably settled in Austin, and has made a heavily-researched deck of difficult questions so you can persecute strangers and loved ones alike. In addition to conducting weird dance workshops, she also writes a blog about various things, including enlightenment, narratives, social dynamics, and sex.
