Welcome to Santa Cruz's hottest monthly party
💃🏽 This month's theme: Prom! 🎩
💗 ...open all! Singles, monogamous folks, couples, friends, polycules—all are welcome! 🌹
This intentional, pleasure-centered event blends group activities like kink, intimacy, movement, and erotic touch with a sober, sexy dance party. The Sauce is NEVER the same twice! It’s the perfect space to flirt, step out of your comfort zone, and explore sensual connections in a celebratory environment. Conscious connection meets a touch of debauchery, and edge-pushing mingles with healthy boundaries.
We intentionally expand beyond the typical ecstatic dance or bar scene to deepen connection and pleasure with curiosity, intentionality, and inclusion. Every month is a unique, one-of-a-kind several-hundred-person party curated with one-of-a-kind offerings by your Pleasure Captain, Bez Stone.

The Sauce is a sexy party—not a sex party. The rules and boundaries of the Sauce are:
- No intoxication—this is a sober event
- No touching genitals with hands, faces, or mouths, even through clothing—consensual bumping and grinding is welcome
- No approaching and touching someone from behind without pre-consent Pre-consent in this case means an existing, intimate relationship where you are certain they'd be delighted at being surprised by you
- At our topless-optional event, an exposed chest doesn’t indicate any level of consent for touch or interaction
- No exposed genitals—bottoms of some kind must stay on at all times—underwear and thongs are fine
🏳️🌈 🙌🏾 I strive to make the Sauce an accessible and inclusive event and offer pre-sale equity/low-income tickets to folks who might not otherwise come due to cost. To request a subsidized ticket please fill out this form to request a code while supplies last >> http://bit.ly/thesauceequitytix
⚠️ This is a drug and alcohol-free space. It is a flirty, exploratory sexy party—but NOT a sex party. Dress (and feel!) erotic, but no exposed genitals or explicit sexual activity is permitted. Tops are optional for all bodies.
‼️ For safety and depth of connection, this is a closed container event. Doors close at 7:30. No late entry.
📸 Photo policy: no photos without the consent of everyone in the photo both of taking the photo and how it's going to be used.
🦚 All genders, sexual preferences, body types, ethnicities, and levels of experience are welcome. The Sauce is a large party with multiple rooms and zones for connection. We aim to explore our edges with respect, clarity, and personal power. We treat each other excellently.
🍓 Bring a snack-luck item for the food table.
