About this Event

Wednesday night, TBC DJs and Alixir Dance founder Donna Carroll teaches the embodiment class! ________________________________ Alixir dance invites you to embody the power and freedom of movement—when bodies, minds and spirits gather in a fun, community-minded dance experience. EMBODIMENT CLASS From 7:00-7:30 pm, join the (optional) pre-dance embodiment class. This is a chance to warm-up, drop in, and learn new ways to navigate the dance floor while deepening your connection with others. THE ECSTATIC DANCE EXPERIENCE From 7:30-9:30 pm, challenge your body and recharge your spirit with a live DJ'd ecstatic dance. We complete the evening with a guided meditation. THE CULTURE There are no steps to learn, and no way to do it wrong. No rhythm? No problem! Our culture is inclusive of everyone.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY "This dance community has been so important and central in my life ever since we got back in action this year. Amazing DJs, super welcoming safe and sweet community and just all around awesome vibes. This is a weekly highlight for me and many friends. The venue is beautiful and safe parking with security on site. Dance is always sobriety and consent focused; with silence as a main principle so no one is trying to distract from your groove. Always great medicine!" -Brian McDaniels "FIND FREEDOM HERE!!! Alixir (ecstatic dance) is a no shoes, no booze, you don't talk on the dance floor environment. You can move and be HOWEVER YOU WANT. Whether dancing with yourself in your own world, engaging with others and/or partner dancing, ALIXIR DANCE IS A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE THAT ENCAPSULATES MIND, BODY AND SOUL, if you let it." -Flannery Mars "Such a fantastic community and space that is created every Wednesday night. I was very concerned when our previous gatherings were closed due to COVID. Donna brought it right back by the lake - beautiful space, wonderful music and extraordinary people…. Sink into your being and let your soul fly." -Naveen Koneru MORE INFO AND FAQs at www.ALIXIR.DANCE
