Debut DT Set from Bohealo! ~ Wild and Free ~ Dance Temple July 5th

Hey Dance Temple Family, This week we welcome Kayle aka Bohealo for his first ever Dance Temple Set. He played a phenomenal set at Alchemy Ecstatic Dance this winter and we are very excited to welcome him to play Dance Temple this week! Let's get barefoot and let go into movement medicine together. All are welcome! From Bohealo: The set is called "WILD & FREE"; The theme is centered around letting your inner truth speak through you fluidly and allowing it to bloom into a free flowing expression of love and passion and creativity and strength, creating the freedom to open portals for that which is to be let in, and that which is to be let out, honoring the detachment with identities and masks and rigidly imposed societal perspectives, while being ok with the unknown, so you can be your wildest self and live your best life in the NOW. BOHEALO, a musical project devoted to uplifting human spirit through rhythm, movement, and joy. BOHEALO represents the fusion of Bohemian adventure and freedom and the offering of healing energy — a playful musical experience that invites people into dance, connection, and flow state. The music blends ethnic grooves, organic house, funky rhythms, ecstatic dance arcs, tribal percussion, blues fusion, world instruments, soulful vocals, and deep melodic house. The feelings invited are joyful, playful, liberating, spiritual, and deeply groovy. The philosophy behind BOHEALO is rooted in the universal principles of vibration, frequency, motion, infinity, spirals, love, and collective energy. Dance becomes a way for humans to tune themselves back into the rhythm of the universe.
