A Private Community-Based Tantra Dance!

Eros in Motion is an ecstatic style dance grounded in guided solo, paired, and small‑group practices, plus simple connecting prompts that help us explore what it’s like to delight in our own bodies while also sharing in tender and real connection with others.

There are both structured and free-form dance components to the dance. 

Eros in Motion is a warm, respectful, inclusive community‑based space
where all genders, all body types, and all sexual orientations are welcome.

Eros in Motionis a low-pressure, non-performative container.

As an erotic‑friendly space this means that nudity, touch, connection, and sensual (non-genital) engagement are welcome. Yet this event is NOT a play party, a swinger event, or a couples‑only event.

All engagement is optional, and you’re invited to participate at your level of comfort.

Our agreements include: substance‑free; consent‑based interactions; “bottoms on” (otherwise, clothing‑optional nudity is welcome within the container); no genital engagement.

From Past Participants:

“The Tantric Puja Dance was exquisite in every way from the exercises to the music to the leadership to the quality of the participants to the space.

This was clearly curated by and for reaching ecstatic states within our bodies and communities. It was a very powerful medicine journey without a substance.

So grateful to the team for sharing their gifts with us and holding a container for playful transcendence. Keep doing them – the world needs this.”

“This event was magical and transformative! I experienced a level of effortless connection that was grounded in care while simultaneously electrifying – riding wave after wave of communal heartgasms.

I left overflowing with love and appreciation. I think the incorporation of dance allowed a deeper mingling of energy that I have not experienced at other erotic events.

There was a greater energetic cohesion with open hearts for bliss and love to arise. Shared Eros at this level is personally and collectively transformative. Thank you ♥️”

“After a whirlwind of recent events, I’ve been more aware of my social anxiety and resistance to groups larger than 5-6 people.

I was really pleased to feel the safety and coziness of this container. Being in a spacious setting, I was less intimidated by where to put myself in the group.

At one point I was just standing in the center of everyone laying and cuddling on the floor, that was a memorable moment of feeling my relationship to the whole.”

Who is Welcome?

This dance is invitation-only.

It is limited to 30 participants.

Most folks will have participated in one of our introductory experiences—or bring comparable experience in embodiment, conscious relating, or erotic community.

If you’d like to bring a friend we would love to have a conversation with them first.

How to be a Safe (& Magnetic) Man in Erotic Spaces

A Mini-Workshop on Embodied Presence for Men 50+

Taught by Lee Warren

Men, we want you. We need you. You are an essential part of creating vibrant, connected, and alive erotic spaces.

And yet many men—especially later in life—are grappling with these questions: How do I approach someone without appearing creepy? How do I express desire without creating pressure? Why is that woman attracted to him instead of to me? What are the secrets to becoming more confident, embodied, and relaxed in an erotic container? 

If you’ve ever felt uncertain, hesitant, overly eager, or afraid of getting it wrong, you’re not alone.

Explore new neural pathways that help you discover that your desire is not the problem. Together we’ll explore how to transform hungry, confused, intimidated, and overly mental energy into grounded presence, authentic confidence, and genuine connection.

Through experiential exercises, embodied practices, and practical tools, we’ll help you discover how to:

  • Become a safe and magnetic presence in erotic spaces.
  • Transform hunger into nourishment and receptivity.
  • Connect your heart and your sexual centers.
  • Cultivate presence that invites rather than pursues.
  • Build genuine connection with all genders.
  • Relax, enjoy yourself, and contribute to the field.

This isn’t about becoming a “better pickup artist” or learning social tricks. 

It’s about relaxing into realizing that your presence is an enormous gift to us all. 

Whether you’re brand new to erotic spaces or have been attending for years, this will support you to become more authentic, embodied, and alive.

What is Tantra?

5564821 © Anatoly Zavodskov | Dreamstime.com

In the context of the Eros in MotionAn Evening of Tantric Dance, Tantra is not a set of techniques or tricks—it’s a way of being more fully alive in our own bodies.

Tantra is about intimacy with ourselves and with each other: feeling our sensations, emotions, and desires, and letting that aliveness move through us in healthy, connected ways.

  • Tantra invites us to reclaim sensuality and sexuality—the most powerful and creative energies we have access to—as our healthy, beautiful birthright.
  • Tantra invites us to trust pleasure as a source of guidance and healing.
  • Tantra invites us to attune so deeply to breath, sensation, emotion, and energy that we begin to feel the truth: the divine lives in us and in each other.

At birth we were given bodies; Tantra helps us learn how to inhabit these bodies so we can blossom into the essence of who we came here to be.

    “This Tantric Dance Puja was a space for me to deeply connect with 10 or more people and share Eros between us while dancing and caressing. I’m excited about participating in the next event. Thank you for your time planning and leading this event.”

    “Puja is great for instigating connections that I would probably not initiate myself.”

    • I agree that this event—much like life—is an experiment, and that it is specifically not a therapeutic or guaranteed “safe” environment. I agree to help co‑create the safety and resilience of the container.

    • I agree to take full responsibility for myself at this event, including my self‑regulation, communicating with clear verbal consent and verbal boundaries, honoring other people’s choices, and caring for the whole.

    What Age Range Are You Expecting?

    From 18 to 101. 

    All ages, stages, and styles are welcome!

    Is This for Couples or Singles?
    How Hetero vs. Queer Will the Dance Be?

    Eros in Motion is a queer friendly dance but there are also plenty of folks who identify as hetero. All are welcome. 

    Our  practices, exercises, and pairings invite connection with all types of “others” – that’s part of the fun.

    Each participant may choose engagement at their level of comfort.

    Is This Event Sexual? Is there an expectation of Sexuality?

    For many of us, Tantra is a path of awakening that supports us in releasing old patterns, accessing our innate wisdom, and being fully present with all of who we are — including our desires, our shadows, our tenderness, and our wildness.

    Our sexuality is an innate and natural part of being human. When we gather to move, breathe, and connect in embodied ways, aliveness can arise. Sometimes that aliveness includes sensual or sexual expression. Sometimes it doesn’t.

    This is an embodied, consent-based dance immersion — not a sexual workshop. There is nothing explicitly sexual built into the structure of the practices or exercises. Our clear agreements include bottoms staying on and no genital engagement. These are firm boundaries that support safety and integrity.

    At the same time, we do not shame or suppress sexual energy if it naturally arises within someone’s internal experience or outward expression. Sexual energy is life force. It can move as creativity, warmth, magnetism, play, depth, or simple presence.

    You are never required to engage with anyone. You are welcome to dance solo, to witness, to stay distinct, to participate lightly, or not at all. Watching is participation. Boundaries are participation. Distance is participation.

    We are practicing erotic maturity — the ability to feel what is true in our bodies, honor it, communicate clearly, and remain within shared agreements.

    This is a conscious, consent-rooted space for embodied aliveness within clear relational edges.

    You get to be true to what arises for you.

    Why Aren’t Children Allowed?

    This is an adult dance with eros-friendly, sensuality-friendly, and nudity-friendly themes.
