Guide 01 /

Sarah

instructor

Sarah is a dancer and instructor, deeply drawn to the in-between and the unconventional. She's spent nearly two decades dancing and has developed a specialty in juicy head-to-heel waves as well as in drawing out the richness that lives within the foundations.

She invites dancers into spaces where technique and freedom intertwine, encouraging them to lean into the sensations that resonate until they evolve into a language so uniquely theirs, rolling effortlessly off the tongue.

Slither Witch

instructor

Titles herself as a Movement Alchemist - a dancer and guide who transforms the mundane into something deeper. Movement that's unique, authentic, and intentional.

As someone who has spent years searching for spaces that prioritize depth, self connection, community, and artistry, Slither Witch has made it her purpose to create them herself. Her "Why" is deeply tied to her journey as an artist, a seeker, and life long student. Facilitating in a way that encourages self discovery as well as technical mastery.

Woolfsbane

curator & host

Woolfsbane is a dancer and the curator behind Cipher, now in its third round. Her own dancing leans into sensuality and story: slow, deliberate, and a little dark.

Cipher grew out of wanting more time with that feeling in a class when something starts to open up. Over a week, there's room to follow it, and to find a way of moving that's entirely your own.

03 / The cityThree years of collecting · no tourist traps

No tourist traps. Just the places I love.

Slither Witch & Sarah shape what happens in the studio. Outside of it, I get to share the city with you.

I've spent three years here collecting places: the corners, kitchens, markets, and late-night spots that people who live here actually love, and the friends I've made along the way.

Alongside our day trip out to the mountains, you'll get my personal guide to all of it. Come for the dancing, and leave knowing the city like someone who lives here.

  • Markets where locals actually shop
  • Taquerías and kitchens I keep going back to
  • Mezcal, music, and late nights
  • Galleries, vintage, and quiet corners
