Cathartica: Freeform Dance ft. Beat Kitty

Cathartica is a freeform dance space with its foundation in bass music. Expect a genre-fluid journey that inspires creative movements in your body - with plenty of whomps, wubs, and bounce. Guidelines of Cathartica 1. Please keep conversations off the dance floor and definitely NOT in front of the DJ booth (except if needed for safety) - it enables everyone to drop in deeper to their experience 2. Protect the floors and our toes - no outside shoes please! Bare feet, socks, and clean, indoor shoes welcome 3. Stay aware and in control - this is an alcohol-free space and over-intoxication of any kind is not welcome. No smoking or vaping indoors. 4. Respect everyone’s privacy - no photos or videos of other dancers without their explicit consent 5. Be mindful and respect each other’s boundaries - there will be zero tolerance for harassment, violence, or other unsafe behavior. Ask before you dance with someone and especially before you make physical contact. Scouts are here to help! If you see/experience concerning or inappropriate behavior on the dance floor, our designated team of Scouts is available to provide support. Scouts will be wearing bright-colored vests and roaming the space to stay easily accessible. Though the organizers and volunteers intentionally work to create a safe space, we ultimately keep each other safe. Look out for your fellow dancers! Be kind, be playful, get weird. Take breaks, drink water, and let go of inner judgements. Tickets will be available at the door $30 - cash, venmo, or paypal.
