You’re not the only one feeling A LOT of feelings right now. Many of us are navigating heavy emotions, world events, and disconnection.
That's where community comes in. The Stygian Collective offers much more than dance. Loneliness fades when you find your people -- come meet us at your new home.

At first I didn't really belong. But luckily, I had a welcoming community that accepted me for who I was, even though I was...extremely...different from them.
I'm here to make sure 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒 has this experience as they explore movement, with a supportive community always cheering them on.

For dancers who are struggling to:
🖤 Build a biz
🖤 Finish a choreo
🖤 Teach a class...
ALWAYS remember why you dance, and why you probably started in the first place: FUN.
If you're not having fun... it's not worth it 🤷♀️ Re-align yourself to bring back the fun, and the work gets less difficult.
