Guidelines + What to Expect

In order to make our freeform dance dance a wonderful, safe, exploring time, we ask all dancers to respect the following guidelines:

  • wear clothing that is comfortable and makes you happy; some people love to be creative and colorful. Please cover the body parts that are usually covered by a bathing suit.
  • similar to ecstatic dance, we love consent between dancers: please respect when someone moves away from dancing with you or expresses in body language that they are dancing alone, there is no requirement to dance with anyone. Be clear with others if you don’t want to dance or if you DO want to dance. We are here if you ever need help with this. 
  • no conversations on the dance floor or anywhere in the dance hall once dance has begun…there is lots of wonderful space to go out into the rest of the community center to have longer conversations
  • hoots, hollers, shouts and singing are all OK on the dance floor
  • we take requests on Thursdays before dance–write to us
  • shoes or bare feet are both acceptable, we have a beautiful hardwood dance floor
  • there are several volunteer jobs for those who would like to trade one free dance in exchange for your lovely help, please write to jon@freeformdancedance.com. We’d like you to come attend at least 3 dances first.
