Dance Yo Turkey Off: A Thanksgiving Night Ecstatic Dance · Venice
You survived the family table. Now come home to your soul family. A sober, judgment-free Thanksgiving night ecstatic dance at Flow Life Sanc
You made it.
The turkey's been carved. The pie's been passed. The stretchy pants have been deployed. And you've survived another Thanksgiving at the family table.
Maybe it was beautiful. Or maybe...
🍷 Uncle found the wine before noon.
😬 Auntie said the not-okay thing. Again.
🛸 Your brother-in-law has a new theory, and it involves the moon landing.
📺 Your cousin turned dessert into a cable news panel with no commercial breaks.
You love them. You really do. You also need a break. Like, a three-hour break.
Dance Yo Turkey Off is Ecstatic Tribe's Thanksgiving night escape hatch at Flow Life Sanctuary in Venice. Slip out after dinner, kick off your shoes, and shake off the stuffing, the small talk and the family drama with a room full of people who just want to move in peace.
No debates. No seating chart. No one asking when you're getting married. Just music, movement and your soul family.

💃 NEW TO ECSTATIC DANCE?
Welcome. There are no steps to learn and no wrong way to move. The music takes a journey, from slow and grounding, up into the wild, and back down to stillness. You follow your body. A few house agreements keep the space safe for everyone: · No talking on the dance floor. (You've done enough talking today.) · Consent before any contact. · Barefoot or socks. · No phones or photos on the floor. · No alcohol or substances. Leave the drunk uncle energy at home. Get high on the music.
🧡 FOR EVERYONE WHO NEEDS A PLACE TONIGHT Not everyone has a family table to escape. Some of us are far from home, between families, grieving someone who isn't at the table this year, or simply celebrating the family we chose. Whatever kind of Thanksgiving you had, there's a place for you here.
👖 WHAT TO WEAR Stretchy pants strongly encouraged. Wear whatever lets you move after a second helping. Bring a water bottle.
