WHAT DO YOU ACHE FOR?

Where do we go when we’re lost in an intoxicating scent, a mouthwatering bite, a skin-tingling touch or a breathtaking sight? Who do we become when we allow ourselves to be lit up, turned on, and fully present in pleasure? Come see for yourself. 

Watch in awe as 400 heels dancers transform into their boldest, brightest, unabashedly blissful selves before your very eyes. Feast your senses on awe-inspiring choreography, heart-racing soundtracks, and spine-tingling vignettes captured by local filmmaker Lindsey Blane.

This original stage show is a once-in-a-lifetime sensual experience… and YOU’RE INVITED. Get tickets to “The Invitation” by Luminesque Dance in Vancouver at Celebrities Nightclub on January 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 27, and in Victoria at the Capital Ballroom on February 2 3. Don’t miss this bliss. ❤️‍

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, as well as the traditional territories of the Lkwungen (Lekwungen) speaking peoples, also known today as the Songhees, Esquimalt, and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations. We are committed to working to decolonize our business, and acknowledging the land upon which we create is one of many steps.

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 American cultures, LGBTQ community culture, kink culture, 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, continually educating ourselves, and creating a culture of accountability with our team, students, 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.
