Normally when drinking beer at a local taproom, you’re not going to see a ton of movement among your fellow patrons, outside of glasses being lifted to mouths and maybe a few people milling about. But at Rhinegeist’s MOVE, the movement will be almost nonstop… and graceful.
The annual event — first held at Rhinegeist in 2018 — features aerial acrobats from the Cincinnati Circus Company and dancers from local troupes like the QKIDZ Dance Team, the Exhale Dance Tribe and the University of Cincinnati Dance Team.
It’s free to attend but Rhinegeist is donating a portion of its proceeds from taproom sales to its event partner Mission2Move, a Cincinnati organization that promotes wellness and stress-reduction through physical movement and self-awareness. The program works with students in Cincinnati Public Schools to help teach them mindfulness and coping mechanisms.
6-9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31. Free admission. Rhinegeist, 1910 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, rhinegeist.com.
