Arrival
logistics,
in 6 lines.
01
Doors open.
Friday at 8:00 AM. Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 AM. The first class begins 1 hour after doors open. If you arrive late, a host will welcome you in at the next natural break so the room stays held.
02
Identification.
Please bring a government photo ID every day, and have your ticket QR ready alongside it so the line at the door stays warm and moving.
03
Re-entry.
Yes, all 3 days. Your wristband is your pass. Step out for air, a call, a quiet moment around the block. Put it on at check-in and come back any time. Water and sparkling are always free inside.
04
Photo and video.
Phones down on the floor so every dancer can feel held. Our team captures all 3 days. Stay present, trust the process, and the moments will find you. If you film, take it outside or to the sides. Please be mindful of the people around you.
05
Leaving.
Friday wraps at 7:00 PM. Saturday wraps at 8:00 PM. Sunday wraps at 8:30 PM, but Sunday is the day to stay a little longer, connect, and soak it all in.
06
Ask us anything.
Lost a jacket, not sure which room, need water, or just need a minute? Our hosts walk the floor all weekend. Flag any staff badge and we will sort it, on the spot, every time.

How to
thrive
all weekend.
3 days of heels, hip-hop, vogue, twerk, and everything in between is a lot of body for 1 weekend. Femmes tend to arrive on fire, give everything to Friday, and meet Saturday afternoon with knees that have a lot of feelings. Treat Friday as a warm welcome into the room, Saturday as the heart of the camp, and Sunday as the closing circle you owe yourself.
Bring the heels you actually dance in, broken in, not brand new. Layers for warmups and community circle, something you can sweat through for class, fresh socks for the social nights. The main floor runs cool until the room fills up, so keep a hoodie close. Pack everything you need to feel like yourself.
Eat like someone who plans to be on the floor all day. Smaller meals, more often, and real food between classes. Water stays flowing and coffee runs from the first warmup on, but caffeine is not a substitute for sleep, and adrenaline runs out somewhere around Saturday afternoon.
Rest is part of the choreography. If your body needs you to sit out the second class to be ready for Real Talks, sit out. If you need to miss Sunday warmup for a real breakfast, go eat. Nobody is keeping score. The weekend is a long, beautiful piece of music, and you do not have to dance every note to feel it.
Dance is our language, Chills is our connection.
