DIVE

A 5-week wh/aacking experience led by Alyssa / Lyzah from February 1 1 to March 16 2025.

For the second year in a row, Alyssa / Lyzah invites you to a 5-week exploration of storytelling, technique, and community for wh/aacking lovers.

Designed for dancers with prior experience in wh/aacking or extensive training in other movement modalities, this series offers a blend of structured classes, free/by-donation open sessions open to the community, and a wh/aacking night out. To conclude the journey, Lyzah will direct an optional concept video for participants who wish to take part. All participants will receive raw footage and an edit from the shoot day.
