Dance Meets Tantra x Austin: Beyond

For those who have already stepped into Dance Meets Tantra, you know the ground we stand on.

You know the rhythm of consent, awareness, and embodied presence.

You know what becomes possible when a room begins to move and breathe together.

Dance Meets Tantra: Beyond is for returning participants who are ready for a deeper and more refined exploration of connection.

A devotional space where experienced participants are willing to be with more subtlety, more edge, and more honesty.

We will work with Subtle energetics and full-body awareness.

Being fully in the dance while staying rooted in your own desire and boundaries.

Letting attraction build without rushing it.

Allowing tension and curiosity to exist without needing to resolve them.

Trusting that intensity can rise without anyone losing themselves.

How connection forms.

How it deepens.

There will be deeper ritual space and more experiential exploration.

Less orientation. More practice.

A room shaped by people who already carry the foundation of this work.

When experienced participants gather, the quality of attention changes.

There is more trust, more range, and more honesty in the space.

If you have attended a Dance Meets Tantra immersion or weekend before, you are invited.

About Dance Meets Tantra

Born in Boulder, CO, Dance Meets Tantra has grown into a movement uniting conscious dance with intimacy practices, ritual, and shadow play. Our immersions are potent, playful, and trauma-informed — crafted to welcome both vulnerability and eros, light and shadow, in ways that are alive and human.

Dance Meets Tantra is a Space of:

~ Vulnerability — feeling and owning the full range of emotion.

~ Permission — expressing the full spectrum of self, including eros.

~ Safety — rooted in boundaries, consent, and responsibility

Our Approach to Tantra

For us, Tantra is the art of being fully alive. We encompass the entirety of humanness, including our sexual energy, but not entirely focused on this, as some may perceive — eros, when it arises, is honored as sacred. We draw from both classical and neo-tantric lineages, blending ancient wisdom with contemporary practice. In dance, this becomes visceral: the body as doorway, erotic energy as life-force, boundaries as portals into freedom.

• You have attended a Dance Meets Tantra immersion or weekend before

• You’re a dancer ready to go deeper

• You’re curious about exploring tantra in an embodied, grounded way

• You’re a practitioner or facilitator longing to receive

Testimonials for Dance Meets Tantra x Austin: 

"DMT mirrors what you want from it, and what you bring to it. It could be scary, and it will be liberating. The thing I most appreciate about DMT is that it meets me wherever I am in my animal-body. This time, I thought I wanted harder-hitting and overpowering energy. What my animal-body wanted was softness and to be deliberate. I slowed down and stopped trying to force things in a particular direction. Once I got clear, my fellow participants showed up in thoughtful and deliberate ways throughout the remaining time, and I finished in a very peaceful place."

~ ATX Portals Participant

"I went into DMT expecting a weekend of fun and was blown away by how DEEP and profound it was as well. Playful, silly, sexy, relaxing, connected, expansive, emptying. It was nutrient dense and play-rich. At the end of the weekend I noticed feeling more restored, energized and filled up than I would have felt doing anything else this week. So much life force flowing and it is staring my new week off fully charged!!"

~ Claire

"I love Dance Meets Tantra. This is truly a space where I feel safe to be my most vulnerable, messy, shadow-y self... and I don't mean the Instagram version of "shadow work" - I mean the parts of me that don't know if they are going to be accepted or held. I have never ever in my life felt safer to be myself, and I have never felt as energized, grounded, and clear after so much dance, inner work, and interpersonal dynamics!"

~ Olivia

“The practices at DMT helped me feel more confident at other dance spaces and I was able to have more partner dancing.”

~ ATX Desires Participant

"Dance Meets Tantra felt like a celebration of how my body moves freely and provided a safe space for me to connect deeper with myself and others. It opened a part of my life force that needed to be stoked."

~ Kim

"Dance Meets Tantra reminded me that I’m always in community—whether I know people or not. What matters is how willing I am to be in it, and this workshop helped me recognize that more deeply.

What moved me most was the leadership. I deeply appreciate the way they hold space with grace, clarity, and care. I was also moved by the courage in the room—people showed up, some holding fear and discomfort, and I could feel it. Recognizing that opened compassion in me because I’ve been there before (and still am). And in that compassion, I felt myself soften and feel deeper love for myself, too.

If you’re considering participating, it’s a beautiful place to begin. It’s not only a space for joy and play (though it includes that). It’s a space where what’s unconscious can become conscious, where your body gets to metabolize truth, and where you can explore real freedom at a pace that feels safe."

~ Rose
