Melty Micro - July -Wave Edition
Dear friends, we hope you'll join us Friday July 11th for LA's only regular micro social. For those unfamiliar, micro is a niche type of partner dance that focuses on strong connection, melting into the music, a welcoming community, and a low bar of entry.
While there is no official basic step for micro, dancers often rely on synced breath, tiny weight shifts, body isolations, and changing energy levels to further embody the music.
For our friends who haven't been to a micro event - if you've been to a late-night zouk, blues, kizomba, or similar event, you'll feel right at home! Or if you're a new (or non!) dancer who loves connection, music, community, we'll take good care of you too.
We aim to keep the cost as low as possible for this event, but if you have financial concerns please reach out. This is meant to be a space for every body.
(Note: We are still new to Partiful! Most people still RSVP through Facebook or directly through Momence - which is the official ticket link).
Schedule:
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Micro Workshop: Body Waves for Micro
9:00 PM - 12:00 AM: DJed Micro Social ft. DJ Inertia
About our DJs:
DJ Inertia has somehow been around the LA fusion and micro world for more than 10 years after moving from her first dance home in Sacramento. For the last couple years she's been DJing at SoCal local events, mostly trying to sneak micro-able songs into fusion sets, and she's excited to offer a big micro feast!
About the host/instructor: Jason is a former professional (now hobbyist) dancer, event host and DJ who believes there's nothing better than those dances where you and your partner forget the rest of the world for a few moments. He loves to teach the dance skills and create the environment that makes that possible. He is a proud member of Safer Dances Spaces - and is committed to providing a safe and welcoming space that fosters connection, communication, and authenticity.

FAQ:
Anything I should be aware of about the space?
Please be respectful of the space! Most importantly, please do not touch the mirrors, and do protect the floor by wearing flats or wide heels. No spiked heels!
Food/drink?
There is a small lobby where you can eat food you've brought. Please no food or drink besides water in the studio. Water will be available for refilling water bottles (no water bottles will be provided, please bring your own!).
Hygiene?
Micro is usually danced quite closely; please be mindful of your partners and the community by both practicing good hygiene and avoiding strong smelling chemicals.
Parking?
We recommend parking on Robertson if available. Though if you need to park on a side street, we are happy to help you find someone to walk you back to your car! If you do park on a side street, please be mindful of noise as the studio is in a quiet neighborhood. Finally, if you generally feel safe walking in LA, please consider leaving closer spots available for those who do not.
Consent & Code of Conduct?
As a member of Safer Dances Spaces (SDS) https://www.facebook.com/saferdancespaces, we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all our dancers. As such, all attendees will be required to read and accept the SDS Zero Tolerance Policy.
