With Radical Healing and LAC!

Queer and Trans Dancewave is a non-judgmental creative space for queer, nonbinary, gender non-conforming, and trans folx to practice authentic self-expression and embodied liberation in community. Inspired by ecstatic dance, queer and trans dancewave is an immersive sound and movement experience with curated music woven in a wave format to help you get out of your head and into your body.

Come as you are: whatever mood or emotions are present are welcome. You may use this queer and trans community container to explore sound and movement with your body and practice attuning to your own energy or to others through non-verbal means. This is a place for improvisational non-prescriptive movement, playful experimentation, to practice gaining comfort with uncertainty, radical vulnerability, authenticity, courage, unlearning perfectionism, and letting go. Explore what it’s like moving just for pleasure, together. This is a safe place to be weird and different. This is healing in community.

Set Weaver Billy Dickenson

All dance abilities or lack thereof are fully welcome.

Sliding scale $5-25* (suggested $15)

Community Restorative Sessions
Salt + Sound Experience in Salt Cave
Sunday 2:00 PM
November 10th, 17th, 24th = FULL
December now available!

All sessions are 45 minutes of treatment time.
The Salt Cave treats up to 6 people.
Please arrive on-time. Once the session has begun, we will not interrupt it.
We encourage you to invest in the experience by showing up fully—being present, caring for yourself and others in the space, and bringing a sense of curiosity and openness.

At Durham Salt Cave, our Community Sessions offer an accessible way to experience Halotherapy (dry salt therapy) and acoustic resonance therapy in a shared setting. Up to six people can relax in zero-gravity loungers with acoustic resonance, while breathing air infused with pure pharmaceutical-grade salt to support respiratory health. These 45-minute sessions provide a calming, restorative environment where you can rejuvenate and connect with others in a holistic wellness experience.
