about the show

FEEL THE HEAT 🔥

At first glance, HEAT is a hot show featuring hundreds of Heels dancers burning like stars. 💥 But beneath the surface simmers a poetic expression of how it viscerally feels to transform.

HEAT is about being turned on, but not in the ways you’d expect. 🔥 It’s the slow burn of realizing it’s time to evolve. It’s the wildfire of expressing what’s been long suppressed. It’s the searing vulnerability of surrendering to your own inner calling. And the glowing ember of pride that remains when you rise from the ashes of your former self, transformed.

Come experience the immersive movement, sensual soundscapes, and seductive spoken word of HEAT. Witness how reclaiming your flame gives everyone around you permission to do the same. And maybe even find yourself leaving with a spark: that you, too, are a force of nature. ✨

Ready to feel ALIVE? 😍 Get tickets now to HEAT this Jan/Feb at Celebrities Nightclub in Vancouver & Capital Ballroom in Victoria. Early Bird rates from $20. 

WE WISH TO ACKNOWLEDGE...

that we gratefully rehearsed for and are performing this show on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and the traditional territories of the (lək̓ʷəŋən) Lekwungen Peoples, known today as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, and the W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples. We are committed to working to further decolonization through the platform of our business and community; and acknowledging the land and its keepers is one of many ways to do that.

WE ALSO WISH TO ACKNOWLEDGE... that dance is a part of culture, which involves and intersects with many histories, geographies, lived experiences, and generational inequalities. We dance to tell stories, which makes our modality a meaningful form of art that warrants respect and acknowledgment of its origins. Heels dance as an art is inspired and informed by cultures from the African Diaspora, Latin Diaspora, Asian Diaspora, and the sex work profession.

As participants in and appreciators of these cultures, we are committed to dismantling the systems that seek to oppress them. We do so by examining our own biases, integrating diverse perspectives, investing back into these communities, and creating a culture of accountability with our team, dancers, and advisors. We believe that by encouraging underrepresented voices and bodies to claim their space onstage and onscreen, we're contributing to building a world where everyone can shine.
