Break the Ice with Stories, Comedy, and Dance.
We catalyze connection, belonging, and laughter.
We create spaces for people to come together to share stories, boldly express themselves, explore vulnerability and fierceness, stimulate new friendships, and laugh a whole bunch.
Connection
We use a scaffolded approach to bringing people together. Everyone has their own schedule for when and how they become comfortable sharing about themself. We take this into consideration and offer participants a variety of ways to participate. What we do in the room brings people together and sets the stage for connection down the road.
Belonging
We invite everyone to our party and create safe spaces for personal expression inclusive of all identities. We acknowledge that self-identity is a fluid construct that develops over time and can change from one situation to the next. We believe that movement and storytelling splashed with comedy can help break down walls and illuminate shared human experience.
Laughter
Our approach to “dance” is heavily laced with comedy. In addition to having students share their own stories as inspiration for movement, we make moves inspired by memes, funny videos, ridiculous weather reports, and more. Any competition we facilitate stays away from simple winners and loser, opting instead for a high school yearbook approach to celebrating (ex. Dance Team… most likely to be President if Aliens Take Over, most likely To Usher in the Apocalypse, etc.)
The What: A cheeky dance workshop and open to the student-body show inspired by story-telling through dance.
The Duration: We offer 1 or 2 days experiences. For example:
1 Day: Workshop from 10am-1pm, Show from 6:30pm-8:30pm.
2 Day: 2 Workshop Sessions: 10 am-1pm, 3pm-5pm. Show the next day 7:30pm-9pm.
Space Requirements and Pricing will depend on the number of participants.
We are currently booking shows for the 22-23 and 23-24 school years. Get in touch with Billy at dancifythat@gmail.com
