BLiPSWiTCH

OFFBEAT SERIES:
BLiPSWiTCH's Offbeat has brought over 150 multidisciplinary artists together. We celebrated our latest, Offbeat X (2021), with ten collaborations, two live bands, and five local Austin vendors— we donated a portion of our proceeds to SBP’s ongoing Hurricane Ida relief efforts.

DANCE CLASSES:
Open to the community (2018-present), BLiPSWiTCH proudly offers the most financially accessible weekly contemporary forms dance class in Austin.
In 2022, we brought NYC dance artists Hollis Bartlett and Nattie Trogdon to Austin to share their dance practices with the community in a week long site-specific workshop.
