What participants are saying about Dance Meets Tantra
Build safety in connection! Practice expressing your full self, even the parts of you that are afraid, and let your nervous system learn that you are loved just as you are! This space is potent, fun, explorative, and deeply supportive. I personally got to open deeply because of the level of skillful support that was available in the space. I have a lot of experience with this type of work, and have had a lot of criticisms in the past. This team was able to hold me on the level I was truly needing, so I could open to a new level.
AYA AMRITA
DMT has opened me to be more fully expressed and accepting of the beauty that is my body. Being witnessed naked and talking to the divine about my body, what I love, what I don't, what I’m working on and accepting all of it was soooo powerful! The frame of creating as God was also amazing and while I have been working with this frame for some time, it shifted it for me by allowing me to step into direct confident action with my raw materials. Through just these two exercises I feel more confident, sexy, sensual and heart-led. The rebirthing experience was profound and it helped me move past traumas from when I was a child and allowed me to step more fully into my childlike wonder and play!! Soooo grateful!!
LOGAN NELLIS
DMT empowered me to be in greater contact with my "yes's" and "no's." This container gave me permission to participate in the exact ways that I was ready for, and not push myself beyond my comfort zone in a way that was unsustainable. By the end, I had such a fun time liberating my weird/ wild/ kinky/ primal self on the dance floor and relate with others in a way that is rare to find in common dance spaces. I am forever grateful for this space and what Danny, Atilla, and Spencer are creating. Also, their facilitation is ON POINT. Raw, real, potent, and just as human as the rest of us. Give yourself the gift of DMT!
ERICA SHAPIRO
In just two days DMT expertly led us into deep spaces of surrender, play, co-creation and joy. I felt well held as I got to experience the full range of what my body wanted to express. I left DMT feeling nourished, full and happy.
TRACY GARY
Dance Meets Tantra was an incredible experience! It really opened up my eyes and heart to to connect deeper with myself and others through movement, play, sensuality and expression. Boundaries and consent was emphasized and respected by the leaders of the event and by the group as a whole. The community in attendance was really supportive, kind and genuine. I met a lot of lovely humans here and would definitely go again! Spencer was an incredible leader of the event: patient, respectful, kind, sensitive and adaptable to the needs of the group.
TIFFANY
I love DMT. It is both ridiculously fun, playful, and sexy, while also being a place to process grief, anger and sadness. Spencer is a master facilitator.
SHANNO JERVIS
I was moved to be more present and expressive of my inner emotional self on the dance floor. The rituals were very productive and connected directly with the dance experience..
ANDY HARRIS
It's rare that I go to something that is truly life-changing & empowering, and our Dance Meets Tantra day together was exactly that. It was one of the greatest days of personal growth, fun, and sensual exploration I've ever had. Spencer and Atilla I hope you're proud of yourselves, what an amazing & life-empowering experience! Dance Meets Tantra was this rare combination of dancing, sexy sensuality, silliness, fun, and facing our fears in a way that's hard to put into words. From just two-days I feel I'm a better person, dancer, lover, friend, and creator. My ability to spontaneously dance, flirt, socialize and more with confidence & ease is higher than ever for me.

True pleasure!
ERIK GILAD
DMT impacted me in helping me to safely open up and express myself in new ways.
GABRIEL
DMT is/was an experience I get to add to my tapestry of my body/soul journey! The experience of safety and permission, combining sensual, creative movement or intense play experiences was exactly what I needed and desired!
I would tell someone to be ready to enjoy learning and expanding in a group and with a group. Come with an open mind, willing heart and soul to experience and receive the multi-layered medicine that is awaiting you!
CANDY JAMES
For me Dance Meets Tantra has been not only one of the most powerful energetic and expressive containers I’ve been in, it's also been one with some of the best, most intense and fiery dancing I’ve experienced.
I love the loud, sweaty, and full on 100% energy that comes in these spaces; and I say that as a big dancer.
I also love the ability to transfer and integrate tools and ways of being and connecting from the many excellent exercises and practices which are expertly and beautifully led by the facilitators.
Dance Meets Tantra has proved for me a window to learn for my own self growth and expansion, practices and facilitation; and that has been very valuable for me.
My experience over many events has been profound and beautiful, and I encourage anyone curious and ready to expand to join!
KAVIAR DRAGON
If you love both Dance and Tantra, this is the place for you. Beautiful, loving facilitation sets an awesome container to explore and play in these profound and delicious realms.
FRED BURKS
It was a beautiful day that reminded me of the wisdom of my body and how quickly connection can develop with new people inside an intentional context. A well held joyous container and well worth it.
WILL SACKS
This week felt like stepping into a different universe - connective, enlivening, sacred and grounded, sensual and playful, rich and raw, welcoming of the full range of human experiencing. This way of being seemed surreal… and now I see it is totally possible and real, too. I felt welcomed in all aspects of me, in my nervousness and hyperthinking, my attraction and desire, in my bittersweet grief, in my exuberant nakedness, in my confused curiosity, in my not-doing-anything being, a deep exhale of unwinding. Thank you to the team for their impeccable facilitation, lovely held space, ability to hold the tension and be with the fire of what is real and what is now, and all the dances!
ANGELA HEYUN
I thought Dance Meets Tantra was an excellent facilitation of how we can get in touch with authentic parts of self. Through explorations of energy, boundaries, touch, sensitivity, self awareness and other awareness. I felt I was able to safely and joyfully explore with others what it was like to imbue dance with mindfulness and sacred sensuality. And I say sacred to mean that we ritualistically formed a container where we cultivated awareness and attunment to our senses and to connecting with others in a way that promoted slowness, wildness, sillyness and so much more. So glad to have gotten to take part in this event.
TIMOTHY BURGER
This was an amazing weekend and I knew it would have an impact on my life, but I never thought I could cry like that in the arms of men, dance so much my feet, heart, and body were exhausted but filled, and created life long relationships in only a few days. Thank you for creating a beautiful space.
BRYAN MCSHEA
Dance Meets Tantra is not just a workshop or event...it's an experience...filled with excitement, movement, sensual, fun, deep and powerful energies. It's an opportunity to expand, grow, explore, move, and not just connect with others, to connect with yourself in ways you'd never imagine. Take the dive head first, and experience something that isn't offered anywhere else in the world.
JOSH JUPITER
DMT is a beautifully, well-oiled offering. The container is created with an immense amount of care, intention, and trauma-informed awareness. Atilla, Spencer, Gemma, and all of the assistants cultivated a space of permission, of grace, of courage, of trust, of exploration, of depth, of joy, of love, and of acceptance. Whether you are brand new to the worlds of tantra and dance, or a devotee of these ways of life, DMT has something to offer everyone. Thank you for an incredible experience that re-sparked inspiration in my entire being!
BROOKE ALEXANDER
This is exactly what I wanted. It gave me the tools to take my dancing to the next level, to more fully express myself and move in the way my body most wants to move and interact with others in connected and pleasure filled ways.
ALLISON O’DONNELL
Dance Meets Tantra is a joyful time of openness to others that is movement centered and highly respectful of where the individual finds themself in the moment. I can’t get enough!
KENT MITCHELL
This was my second event facilitated by Spencer and I returned because I had such a deep and profound experience at the 5 day event I had attended in December 2023. I didn't expect this day long event to go so deep and it did. The exercises and facilitation gave me permission to get out of my head and into my body that I have been ignoring for a while due to a long term medical issue. I felt so free, so liberated, so empowered to be me, moving my body in ways I have never moved before. The tears came and I vulnerably shared into the space which was extremely healing for me to be witnessed in this way and even later verbally appreciated for sharing, therefore giving other "permission" to feel what they didn't really want to feel. Blessings . . . I will be back!
