IMPACT is a kink-friendly dance party designed to activate your senses, empower your dance, and inspire your creativity.

THIS EVENT IS A DANCE PARTY THAT INCORPORATES KINK PLAY, NOT A SEX PARTY.

It is a sensual, sexy, kinky, playful space, but not an explicitly sexual space.

This means that bottoms stay on, there is no public penetrative or oral sex, and you get to enjoy:

• The art of the tease

• A focus on movement as expression

• The cross-sections of kink & power play, with music & dance, as fuel for your creative and relational fires, and

• The infinite terrain of erotic exploration outside of the conventionally sexual.

• An opportunity to explore dance floor energy exchange that can include eroticism and sensuality, without focusing on “where it’s going” or “what might happen.” Permission to explore how much life force you can let flow through you within a practice of energetic and sexual containment.

  
  

  YUM.

This event is led by two professional kinksters (Ashley Berry and Kyle Lovett); local play party facilitator and frisky fairy extraordinaire (Elizabeth Aroyan), and two DJs trained through Tasha Blank’s Powerhouse DJ School (Ashley Berry aka Xuxa Bluet and Oliver Vickers Matzdorf aka Oscar Buzz).

The scene:

• Sexy lighting, cozy squish, ample dance space, an altar of kink toys, lit up zones for the exhibitionists to showcase scene play, ample dance space, tea temple, and cozy corners and rooms for you to retreat to decompress, integrate, converse, and chill.

• Professional and lifestyle kink players floating in the space, excited to perform for or engage with you (with consent, of course).

• Sounds to seduce you into the groove - from the sultry to the funky to the bangers - that simultaneously regulate and activate you. We care about your nervous system and creating a scaffolded music journey that invites you to bring your whole body and self to the dance floor.

• Brief opening facilitation to establish a group field, consent agreements and cultural norms, and embolden you with tools for play and connection. There will be a movement workshop that syncs dom/sub dynamics with lead/follow style dance.

The venue is an expansive two story private home equipped with:

• A dance floor

• A stage for performances

• A stripper pole and hard points

• A sexy elevated indoor viewing area for you to take in the scene and satisfy your inner voyeur

• Several additional indoor and outdoor spaces for

  • Kink scene play

  • Tea service

  • Cuddle-puddling

  • Stimulating conversation for the sapiosexuals

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need to purchase a parking pass for $1, in addition to your ticket, to attend. This is due to limited parking and respect for the neighbors. The venue is beautiful and has capacity for many more humans than the 60 allocated car passes, so carpooling is essential. When purchasing your ticket, please purchase a car pass as well, or coordinate transportation with someone who does have a car pass. Your car will not be admitted if it is not attached to a car pass.

CONSENT AGREEMENTS:

1) Take care of yourself

• Honor your own physical, emotional, mental, and energetic boundaries and limits.

• Listen to your body. If you don’t know whether you’re a yes or a no to something, take the time to listen to yourself and gather information before responding.

• Pause/Stop any interaction, any time you need to.

• Ask for help from facilitators and space angels if you need, logistical or otherwise.

• Stay hydrated and well-nourished!

• This is an alcohol free event. If you partake in any other form of substance use, please do so responsibly and within your capacity to be present and consensual in your relating. DO NOT drive when intoxicated!

2) Take care of others

• Establish verbal consent for touch, shared dancing, sharing of difficult emotional content, initiating conversations about heavy topics, or any kind of kink exploration. If you don’t want to verbally establish consent for each interaction, ask to establish a blanket consent agreement (i.e. two people verbally agreeing that they can touch each other any time without asking).

• Practice attunement to non-verbal communication and energetic boundaries. Notice signals like lack of eye contact, someone physically turning or moving away, two people engaged in a dance or conversation and not pausing to verbally or energetically invite you in, etc. Interpret physical or energetic leaning out as a “no.”

• Be mindful of the space you occupy - physically, emotionally, energetically, audibly. We want you to take up space and express yourselves! And we want everyone to have the space for that as well. Practice tuning into the group field and noticing any impact of your expression (i.e. yelling loudly close to people who are engaged in quiet conversation, or taking a quick look around the dance floor before doing a big move that could physically harm someone).

3) Confidentiality

• What happens at IMPACT, stays at IMPACT.

• Feel free to share your own experience, without identifying others through names or identifying details.
