Who we are

Dance Meets Tantra began in Boulder, Colorado and has since blossomed into a nationwide (and now international) movement. Our sold-out immersions weave together dance, relational intimacy, somatic attunement, ritual & ceremony, and conscious kink & shadow work into a living, breathing art form.

We create spaces that are trauma-informed yet wildly alive, where you can safely explore your edges, express your full self, and step into the mystery of your own power. This work is both a personal journey and a collective experience, igniting authenticity, attunement, and aliveness while embracing the wholeness of who we are - both light and shadow. Together, we cultivate a shared field of magic that is greater than the sum of its parts.

When embodied movers gather with full permission to be alive, to connect, and to share their magic… something extraordinary happens.

This is Dance Meets Tantra:

  • Awaken your body’s wisdom through movement, dance, and play

  • Unleash your full expression, build confidence, and come home to yourself

  • Release old patterns, be witnessed, and step into your power

  • Connect and co-create with a community of open-hearted humans
