The Holy Circus was truly MAGICAL ✨💖🌙

🎪🪄 this is a moment in time we’ll remember FOREVER, and you just had to be there to experience the energy & FEEL the divinity of it all 🦋

Please comment your favorite stories from the night!🤡

We transcend the ordinary and step into something truly otherworldly

THAT was The Holy Circus. 🌀

A portal. A playground for the soul. A space where nonconformity was celebrated, expression ran wild, and peace, love, and unity transcends all.

Thank you for running away with the circus. 🎪 Thank you for dancing. Thank you for flowing and letting go. Thank you for showing up as your BEAUTIFULLY WEIRD SELVES.

The freaks. The dreamers. The mystics. The free spirits. The ones who have never quite fit inside the box — because we were never meant to 💖

Stay tapped in to be a part of the spaces we create. Stay weird. Stay free. 🌀💫💖🎪

Friday at the Chicago Cultural Center 🏠✨

A beautiful start to Day 2 of the Chicago House Dance Summit as @mlayamoves50 Mlaya Moves (Untouchables) led our all-ages community through the foundations, feeling and freedom of House dance, with DJ Salem @tre_daniels_ (TribeCago / Jus.Be House Collective) bringing the music.

From first-time dancers to longtime members of the community, the floor was open to everyone — creating space to learn and grow together. Grateful to Mlaya for sharing her knowledge, energy and love for House, and to everyone who stepped onto the floor with us.

Come Celebrate the gospel of FLOW and doctrine of DANCE at the church of SKATE 🤹🏻‍♀️🤡

Excite your senses with a circus-themed, roller skate & flow rave taking place in the grand Epiphany Center for the Arts, a former 19th-century church. The ‘Holy Circus’ is a truly unique event venue in Chicago’s Near West Side.

At this immersive, flow-centric, and skate event, you can lace up your roller skates or inline skates, bring your flow props, and let your inner child play. We will have an open floor plan and designated spaces for dancers/shuffle, a flow jam, and a skating rink.

This collaboration is for those who want an immersive environment to play, socialize, and enjoy skating, dancing, flow, and other circus arts. This is a movement-based community gathering designed to encourage freeform, expressive flow of all kinds in a safe, intentional space.
