Shadow Dance: Portsmouth, NH

  • Barre & Soul 738 Islington Street, Unit A3 Portsmouth United States (map)

Join us for a transformative dance experience where you’ll connect with and embrace the parts of yourself you don’t often set free. Through powerful music with deep bass and primal beats, you’ll explore hidden emotions, desires, and past experiences. This dance will help you get in touch with your “shadow self” and move through it freely. Afterward, we’ll guide you back to a sense of wholeness with a live sound journey.

The flow of the night:

6:45pm: Doors open, Warmup and Arrive

7:00pm: Opening Circle

7:15: Free Dance with DJs Ankati & Breezy Bruce

8:45: Soundscape & Closing Circle

There are four guidelines.

  1. Consent is the law of the land. Every dancer is welcome to their space; if you want to dance with, hug, or otherwise share contact with someone, get permission first.

  2. No talking on the dance floor; please speak in quiet voices in the Chill Space only, and let the music and movement guide the dance!

  3. No phones on the dance floor, including videos or photos of the dancers. Take this time to engage directly with the world and set your screen aside!

  4. This is a safe, substance-free dance space, and we hold a high value on clarity of presence: please do not arrive intoxicated or partake in substances during the dance. We get naturally ecstatic on the movement, not on alcohol or drugs.
