HAPPY NOCTURNAVERSARY TO US 🩷💜 TWO YEARS OF NOCTURNA CABARET

Two years of amplifying performers of color and the Global South diaspora
Continuing to break barriers and create new norms through unabashed sensuality, cultural expression, and simply impeccable taste and style. Paying homage to our ancestors through movement and sound but also getting to explore and define our own relationships to our cultures ❤️‍🔥

We thank all the incredible performers and crew members we’ve made art with so far. In the past two years, we’ve produced 6 packed out shows, including two benefit shows where we raised over $1000 for mutual aid efforts, introduced cultural dance workshop offerings, and won a grant with a 100 point score - to name a few of our accomplishments.

We couldn’t have done it without you all! Bigggg things to come soon 😙 by @nocturnacabaret

Our last spotlight (before our show tomorrow!!) is on our co-host, stagehand, and dear friend, Rina 🌟

Rina is passionate about cultural exchange as a method for fostering deeper connections to our neighbors, siblings overseas, and planet itself. Motivated by love, they stay committed (overbooked some may even say) to supporting our connected struggles at a local level.

Modifications can be given to those who want to dance the masculine style of samba, also known as Malandro style. You will learn some essential samba vocabulary, get familiarized with the political, Afro roots of samba, practice some across the floors to get in touch with your body, and end with a fun and sexy combo! Please note: samba no pé is not a partner dance.

✨ 2/22 BELLY DANCE JAZZ WITH ZINA ✨

Come immerse yourself in the smooth and sensual world of belly dance, with belly dancer, burlesque performer, and musical theatre enthusiast, Zina 💋

This one hour and 45 minute workshop will dive into belly dance basics particularly focusing on raqs sharqi, meaning “oriental dance” in Arabic, and refers to the classical Egyptian style of the dance. Expect a thorough warm-up, infused with core-building exercises, as a strong core is foundational to the control and balance needed for isolations. Then, put these movements into action through a seductive jazz and raqs sharqi infused choreo combo, that you’ll learn and drill in a judgement-free, culturally-empowering environment.

⏰ Sunday, February 22nd, 12-1:45PM
💵 $15-$25 sliding scale
