Amoeba Dance™ is a practice of group Contact Improvisation,
exploring what it means to dance as one.
The dance score is: slow, grounded, and all-connected.
What happens when a community of affectionate beings drops into their soft animal bodies and dance together as one? The concept is simple: we dance connected together as a group the whole time! Imagine one big, slow, gentle, group contact dance. So unlike other conscious dance events, everybody will continually merge in and out of a main amoeba. There will be moments where parts of the amoeba split off into solo dances, duets, or small groups—but everybody keeps returning to the amoeba throughout the evening.
We've held over two dozen Amoeba Dance events since 2018, with the largest Amoeba of 110+ people dancing together as one!
The music by DJ Bonbon Spirit is all ambient and downtempo. We start with an opening circle to establish an attuned and safer container, move into a short facilitation to get the amoeba going, and then luxuriate in a long evening of connection. We integrate with a closing circle at the end of the evening.

A few important notes:
- This event is affectionate, but is not intended for erotic arousal or any sexual behavior. It's all about the oxytocin.
- We will all dance with top and bottom covered at all times. Come with comfortable, clean, soft clothes. And no scents.
- You are not expected to dance the entire time—holding witness on the side is also welcome.
