Come feel the rhythm, connect authentically, and dance & cuddle the night away in a safe space focused on enthusiastic consent for all.

Cuddles'n'Blues: Connect in Hugs and Dance

*Desiring more hugs? Curious about cuddle parties?

*Craving nourishing touch, maybe a multi-person massage?

*Want to learn blues dancing or deepen your partnering?

*Yearning for more authentic connections?

Partner dancing is an amazing analogy for relationships and life. Learn how to ask for what you want, listen deeply, and be clear about your yes's and no's -- on and off the dance floor. We'll have a playful event with honest discussions and exercises to support you in learning and deepening your experience in blues dancing and cuddly gatherings.

It's all about clear communication and enthusiastic consent, so you get to CHOOSE who you want to interact with and how throughout the evening. You can dance or cuddle or simply observe or do all the above and change your mind ANY time at this PG-RATED, fully clothed event.

Come join us for a heartwarming evening of cuddles and blues dancing at the East Bay Community Space*! Let's connect through hugs and dance!

Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a complete newbie, this event is open to everyone looking to embrace the magic of connection -- on and off the dance floor. Get ready to move to the rhythm of the blues and feel the warmth of cuddles in a welcoming and inclusive environment, focused on safety and enthusiastic consent.

Let's share in the joy of togetherness. See you there!

***If for any reason you will be late, please message Rainbow to discuss workshop agreements. It's important that we create a safe space for participants to enjoy the event easily.

**We kindly ask that you stay at home if you feel sick or under the weather to protect our community and loved ones.

*Easy BART from SF. Please ask for carpools/rides; let's be green together!
