From childhood, her playgrounds were the city’s natural spaces, jam sessions, live music venues, festivals, and concerts—where she first discovered the transformative power of sound and dance. Her path deepened in 2018 upon moving to Hawaii, where she immersed herself in ecstatic dance. In these sacred, non-verbal spaces, she experienced profound healing through pure movement and emotion, guided only by the body’s language and the frequency of the music. Witnessing similar transformations in others ignited her calling: to facilitate healing journeys through intentional sound. As a DJ, Nico Novella weaves an eclectic sonic tapestry—from dark, moody depths and filthy bass to heart-opening melodies, deep house, and occasional poppy infusions. She intuitively reads the room’s energy, crafting immersive experiences that honor every emotion and rhythm the soul craves. Her sets become journeys of release, connection, and freedom, blending intuition with “sonic alchemy” to guide dancers toward catharsis and joy. Rooted in San Diego’s vibrant scene and forever shaped by Hawaii’s healing waves, Nico Novella continues to create spaces where bodies speak, hearts open, and communities unite through the universal language of music and movement. *** THINGS TO BRING*** 💸$25.00 cash, credit or Venmo at the door 💦Water bottle & water to stay hydrated. 👯Clothes that allow a full range of motion. 💓Good vibes ***10 and over age requirement, 17 and under must be accompanied by a guardian*** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ecstatic Dance Guidelines 1.
