What is Recreation? ✨
It’s an open dance session and space for you to come as you are. Recreation invites us to explore the intersection of dance, play, healing, and liberation. It’s a space for joy, connection, and expressing the multiplicity of unique identities and cultures. We are rooted in house & club music and culture. We strive to honor the generations before us who paved the way for us, and created havens for marginalized communities; Queer, BIPOC communities who pioneered the music and dance styles we practice and cherish today.

𖦹 led with love & intention, free of judgement
𖦹 open to any & all dance styles and skill levels (we love to learn from each other)
𖦹 free parking lot directly behind the building, free street parking

DIVINE TIMING ☀️

We are running it back!

What started as a simple idea to bring people together through music, community, and connection continues to grow.

On June 14th, we’re partnering with Dublab for their Membership Drive as they bring vendors, sponsors, and more to our next gathering.

Come spend the day with us. Good people, good music, and a reminder that some of the best things happen when we show up for one another.

See you in the park.

Open decks 1-2pm
