Ecstatic Dance + Contact Improv Flint Blade

Dance with us in this sacred celebration as we come together the day after Christmas for joyful movement and connection. We’ll begin the evening with a vocal toning circle, creating a warm and supportive space to explore group harmonies in a freeform style—an auditory gift of presence and togetherness. Let your heart resonate as our voices rise like angelic choirs heralding the birth of light within us all. Following this, Flint Blade offers a special hybrid DJ/live looping ecstatic dance set, featuring guest musicians to weave a tapestry of sound both joyous and transcendent. Based in South Florida, Flint Blade tours nationally, bringing his unique blend of music to festivals and conscious community spaces. A heartfelt supporter of the ecstatic dance movement, Flint is celebrated for his work on the Chapman Stick guitar/bass tapping instrument, alongside beatbox vocal percussion and various world instruments. His signature sound evokes the spirit of peace and unity, making it perfect for this Christmas season. Flint’s original music, released through California-based High Vibe Records and his own label In Love Records, sets the tone for a night of revelry and sacred connection. Join us for this magical evening, where movement, music, and holiday spirit come together in a glow of harmony and joy.
