KING KAIROS // musical facilitator
With entrancing vocals and a refreshingly experimental fusion of musical styles, King Kairos has an impressive ability to connect to the collective. While she’s amassed over a million streams on Spotify in her first year of releasing tracks, King’s true home is on the dance floor. She views dance as a playground for identity exploration, where we can try on different pieces of our persona and tap into our fullest expression of emotions. Her ecstatic dance sets are heavily influenced by this philosophy. Blending a wide range of styles from bass to rock to classical and more, King’s sets are truly one-of-a-kind. Each journey transports dancers into a world of spiritual play and embodied introspection. Connection to self and community are deeply fostered throughout the journey, by way of creative song selection, moving vocals, and loving intention. https://on.soundcloud.com/VwNlCnLdqhVOLkDJQf

Blindfolded Contact - Surrendering to Our Inner Sight
Blindfolded Contact Dance is a slow and gentle experience—for both beginners and experienced dancers alike. The constraint of the blindfold invites dancers to explore other senses to find connection, expression, pleasure, and safety. These workshops take participants on a journey of somatic self-discovery and non-verbal consent via solo and group exercises—both with and without blindfolds.
A Consensual Environment
*** As we come together in sacred movement practice, let us remember to embody the values of consent and mindfulness. May we dance in reverence for each other's boundaries, always seeking clear permission before engaging in physical connection, and maintaining awareness of the sacred space we share with our fellow dancers.
If at any point you find yourself in need of support or comfort, know that you are not alone. Our Movement Church community is here to assist and guide you. Simply reach out to one of us, and we will do our utmost to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your journey.
All are Welcome.
