Dance Medicine Philly's Ecstatic Dance is Sunday January 5th from 6pm-10pm

We're starting the new year off right with with our first ecstatic dance of 2020. Only 5 days after our new years eve ecstatic dance, we're coming together to dance with one of our favorite djs in Philly, DJ Shango. Bringing indigenous and world sounds that uplift, enlighten and open the chakras, Shango brings his vision to life through the motion and raw power on the dance floor. Art and music collide, healing the audience of their traumas using movement, chanting, mantras, crystal vibrations, live drummers, and tribal body art. Shango’s ancient futuristic artform creates a constant flow of physical and ethereal release within the audience, purposefully increasing the power and influence of the healing energy directed toward the crowd each event, creating a massive healing movement in Philadelphia and beyond. The Sound Bath is going to be led by Julien Horner. Julien is a professional piano musician, teaching and performing throughout the city. He is a regular attendee at dance medicine events. He is excited to play this sound bath as an offering for everyone to deeply melt away the dance experience. The warm up is going to be led by Kacey Deguardia. This is a yoga warmup so bring a mat so we can move through a juicy flow to warm up our bones and muscles before the dance.
