Come prepared to smile with all four cheeks—from face to fanny—and leave with moves that will make your dance floor interactions unforgettable!

Angel
Since 2006, Angel has been inspiring movement and smiles as a dance instructor specializing in Hip Hop, Twerk, and Pole Dance. Her love for creating, choreographing, and teaching runs deep, stemming from her childhood passion for mimicking music videos and making up her own routines long before she stepped into her first dance class as an adult.
Angel doesn’t just teach dance—she creates a vibrant, judgment-free space where adults can embrace being beginners, let go of inhibitions, and learn alongside a community of like-minded movers. Her classes are more than just lessons; they’re an invitation to connect, bond, and be delightfully silly together.
With an infectious enthusiasm for sharing what she loves, Angel believes in the transformative power of finding “your people”—a supportive group that helps you grow, groove, and laugh. Whether you’re stepping into her class for the first time or returning to master a new skill, you’ll leave with not just new moves but also new connections that might just change your life.”

Dj Jess
Jess (they/them) has been dancing and grooving throughout their entire life. From ballet as a wee baby, to east coast swing as a teen, musical theatre, contact improv for many years… they finally landed in the fusion scene when they moved to CA two years ago.
Jess is currently a somatic psychology grad student, and a creative and mover in their spare time. Finding ways to weave the two worlds together keeps them curious and inspired about what kind of healing is possible through shared dance. They are excited and honored to share a sweet collection of music with you.

DJ Spoken Bird
Hailing from Berkeley, California, Alex Gonzalez, known musically as Spoken Bird, began producing music in College. Starting out as an electronic music DJ, Alex was drawn in by the sounds of dubstep and glitch hop which were popular at the time. After DJing for two years, Alex decided that he wanted to try his hand at making his own music and took some basic music theory classes in addition to electronic music production classes. With the knowledge he gained he was able to build a following and start performing his music outside of his small college town.
Alex fell in love with the bass music community and felt that his music allowed him to meet more and more like minded musicians and people as he got to travel to new places to play his music for new people.
He has recently played multiple sold out shows with artists like CharlesTheFirst, Clozee, Phaeleh and Gladkill. Some highlights include playing for a massive crowd of over two thousand at Symbiosis Oregon Eclipse, and breaking over five hundred thousand collective streams on his single “Hold On”.
