Ecstatic Dance Boston Contact Improv Dance Lab DJ Tigress

"You have to dance unencumbered. There's no other way to move. The idea of dance is freedom. It is not exclusiveness, it's inclusiveness." ~ Judith Jamison Lets connect, express, move, play, and develop in the language of dance together! We welcome Contact Improvisation facilitator Avital Bar Zuri to lead our Dance Lab. From this space we'll flow into an ecstatic wave with our guest DJ « « Tigress » » who's rocked dance floor throughout Boston, regional festivals, and beyond! We'll bring our evening to a close with singing bowl musician Tara Atwood and integrate the journey through melodic vibration. Join us to celebrate and dance our way through the Spring equinox... the bridging into the new season and the warming of spring into growth and renewal. Let our dance infuse us with creative flow and momentum towards where we want to go and inspiration towards who we want to be 🌀 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Welcome to Ecstatic Dance Boston! Each month we'll be bringing you a multilayered dance experience... starting off with a movement class warmup featuring renowned instructors and facilitators, followed by DJ'd beats and music from dance floors around the world, and finally coming to a sound scape cool down integration with either live instruments, digital production, or vocalization. Our featured guests will be a mix of local talent and familiar faces to international teachers and musicians. Enjoy connecting in our SereniTea Lounge, co-creating community poetry inspired by the dance, watch flow artists spin, relax with a chair massage, and network with new friends. We'll start and finish each night with brief opening and closing circles to ground ourselves and gather in our present space of learning, expression, and connection. ◀︎ LOGISTICS ▶︎ Ecstatic Dance Boston Wednesday, March 13th, 2018 (7-11pm) 7 pm Doors open, Arrival 7:15 Opening Circle & Dance Lab w/ Avital Bar Zuri 8:00 Ecstatic Dance w/ DJ « « Tigress » » 10:00 Sound Scape w/ Tara Atwood 10:15 Closing Circle ✦✦ Location ✦✦ 11 Garden Street Cambridge, MA ** Ecstatic Dance Boston has no religious affiliation ** ➡︎ Head through the right side of the building when facing the front.
