Queers & Allies Ecstatic Dance — January Monthly Gathering ✨ at The Dance Hub – Santa Barbara, CA

You’re invited to a clean, inclusive, pressure-free dance space where you get to move your body, feel your feelings, and be fully yourself — without alcohol, without performance, and without judgment.

This is a queer-forward space that warmly welcomes allies and the wider community. Whether you’re brand new to ecstatic dance or a longtime mover — you belong here.

YOUR DJ & MUSICAL JOURNEY

Your night is guided by DJ Megi — known for playful, eclectic, heart-opening musical journeys that move through grounding, release, joy, sweat, softness, and collective energy.

No choreography.
No right way to dance.
Just your body, your rhythm, your breath.

A NOTE ABOUT THE SERIES

This gathering is part of a weekly dance community, with this night offered once a month as a queer-forward ecstatic dance for queers, allies, and the wider community.

Our hope is that this becomes part of your weekly rhythm — a place where friendships form, regulars return, and a new sober, inclusive queer + ally space continues to grow in Santa Barbara. Whether you come once a month or every week, you are part of what’s being built here.
