What is Danceground?
Danceground is our come-as-you-are in person and online freeform dancing and movement space.
No experience is required, and we expect that all participants will do our best to create a judgment-free space to move freely and express.
We welcome, uplift, and celebrate BIPOC, fat, disabled, queer, trans, and any other bodies that are often marginalized in mainstream culture.
We’ve been dancing and moving since May of 2023 online on the Danceground in Surrendirt to Community, moved outdoors for the first time ever in September of 2025, and are currently conjuring several more ways to engage with Danceground, including: DIY, Workplace Wellness, Private Event, and Custom Danceground packages online and in-person (see below).
What to expect:
Danceground is an invitation to explore your edges, to connect with self and others, and to have fun while doing it.
Participants are encouraged to participate as much or as little as they wish, within their own comfort level.
We value consent and will not force participation in any specific way. You get to decide how and when to move or engage.
We begin with a welcome and general overview of our theme, followed by some insights about how to work with the current placement of the moon and any other astrological events as we dance, followed by setting intentions for our time.
We are then invited to consider guided prompts as we move to the music together (each participant receives a PDF copy), then we come back together to regroup and check in at the end.

"This was my first time dancing with folks via Zoom, and it was an absolute delight! I'll admit I felt a bit awkward at first, but Ren has such a calming, kind presence, that I felt at ease right away! I enjoyed that we started the dance session with a brief meditation. I particularly liked when Ren said, "Thank you, body!" I often forget to do that! The playlist Ren created was so much fun! We started and ended with slower songs, and the songs in between had such a fantastic, varied rhythm with upbeat songs to sing along with and dance to. I really like that Ren encouraged folks to dance as much or little as they chose, take breaks for water and snacks, and that they specifically made this a safe, welcoming space for folks of all abilities. The energy and playfulness of this time together was amazing! I am very much looking forward to another dance hour and another epic playlist!"
