Denver · Movement · Play
Even your stillness is dancing.
I'm Ozzie Santos, a yoga teacher, poet, karaoke DJ, and a firm believer that everyone can dance. I make spaces where people can move, laugh, and feel connected.
“I'm the king of play, and it's through my play that I inspire others to play. Not forcefully, but gently and with encouragement.”
— Ozzie
The story
If I can't find community, I create it.
In about 14 months in Denver, Ozzie went from open mic nights at The CornerBeet to yoga studios, acro yoga jams, breaking and hip hop circles, and started building spaces of his own.

How a room full of strangers ends up dancing.
01
Redefine dance
A fist pump counts. A head nod counts. We start small until everyone agrees it's all dancing.
02
Feel safe
A welcoming space where you can express yourself however you do. No one's grading you.
03
Play together
Little games Ozzie "discifies" that get people dancing with each other, gently.
04
Soul train
Two lines of people, cheering for you as you dance down the middle. Everyone gets their moment.
