Chocolate Groove - LEO FULL MOON Ecstatic Dance Party

It’s our first Ecstatic Dance Party of 2026 — and we gather under the Leo Full Moon on a Saturday night. Under this radiant lumination, Chocolate Groove returns with a powerful Saturday night cacao ecstatic dance party, with a conscious invitation to dance in alignment and solidarity with the revolution unfolding in Iran. This is more than a party — it’s a ceremonial, heart-led dance floor. A collective ignition where movement, music, and community meet. Leo energy calls us to express boldly, love openly, and shine without shrinking. We gather to shake loose, let go, and root ourselves in rhythm — trading perfection for presence, small talk for soul talk, and inhibition for ecstatic liberation. This is a judgment-free, alcohol-free space where you can fully express, connect, and elevate — with your body, your breath, and your community. We are creating an intentional container where you can arrive exactly as you are — and leave more of yourself on the dance floor. Whether you’re a longtime Groover or stepping into this world for the first time, this night is your playground, your prayer, your release. Please note - This is also our last groove until Mid march as our team takes a break for the Cost Rica Retreat happening Feb 16th - March 3rd. We hope to see you there! 🕒 SCHEDULE 6:00PM – Doors Open 6:30PM – Warm-Up with Nadia Jam 7:00PM – Cacao Ceremony 7:30PM – Breathwork Activation with Koosha Good 8:00PM – ROXYFOXY (DJ) 9:00PM – AURABOROS (DJ) 10:00PM – SOULWAVE (DJ) 11:00PM – CACAOBOY (DJ) 12:00AM – 2SHAY (DJ) 1:00AM – Closing Sound Bath with Niluo, Afarin & Friends 2:00AM – Event Concludes 🕊️ CLOSING SOUND BATH — HOLDING SPACE FOR IRAN The evening will close with a deeply intentional sound bath, facilitated by a group of Iranian musicians and space-holders, offered in honour of the ongoing revolution and profound transformation unfolding in Iran. This closing ceremony is held as a space for: • Collective healing and remembrance • Grief, resilience, and hope • Solidarity beyond words • A shared prayer for liberation, dignity, and peace Through sound, stillness, and shared presence, we come together — not to fix or explain, but to listen and bear witness through the heart.
