Robert’s Westside Presents:
DANCE RITES
Some nights you dance to disappear. This one is for taking up space.
Dance Rites is a curated dance party for anyone who identifies with feminine energy. A room where you get to be all of yourself at once. The fierce one. The tender one. The one who wants. The one who’s been told she’s too [fill in the blank]. We move through every one of The Five Faces — the five feminine energies we all carry — together, on one floor.
It starts with a guided warm-up. First we shake the day loose. Then we move through The Five Faces one at a time, each with its own movement, so you can feel every part of yourself wake up in your body. The Nurturer, the Sovereign, the Creative and Erotic, the Wild and Destroyer, the Mystic — every one of them yours. No experience needed. If you can move, you can do this.
Then VITIGRRL takes over with a live set built for exactly this: tracks with teeth, made to carry you through every Face and out the other side. Expect depth. Expect joy. Expect to leave lighter than you walked in.
Wear something that makes you feel powerful (anything goes, pretend like you’ve never heard the words “too much”)
