Come be held by the dance floor, the music and the community, connect non-verbally with yourself and others and tap into the magic of this liberating movement space. Location: 2650 Truxtun Rd, Ste 200 San Diego (upstairs on the left) Adding & Subtracting Guided by Traci McKnight 8:00pm - 8:45pm What happens when we consciously dissect the layers of our experience as we dance? In this guided improvisational warm up, we will task ourselves by methodically adding and subtracting sensory elements from our focus- feeling, sonics, breath, environment, judgments, habits, etc- so we can make clearer choices about what internal and external resources truly help us stay in flow as we move. Traci is a dancer, performer, figure model and creative with an affinity for movement that is beautiful, pleasurable, sensual, erotic, subtle, grotesque, silly, human. She teaches form and technique informed by a lifelong study of movement while organically guiding students into their own unique physical expression. She works primarily with other creatives 1:1 who want to deepen their somatic presence on stage and in life. Ecstatic Dance Journey Featuring Luke Rain 9pm-11pm Luke Rain makes cool, refreshing, bassy drops and brings the drip like a hip hop hippie. In both his DJ sets and his production Luke is able to bend and blend genres across the musical spectrum, flowing effortlessly between bass and hip hop, electronic and organic, left field and pop appeal. He finds himself equally at home at a festival, rave, renegade campout or ecstatic dance. A skilled professional DJ with years of experience behind the decks, Luke crafts unique, eclectic sets that allow dancers to flow, move energy and feel embodied. He plays from his extensive library of his favorite tracks across many musical styles, as well as songs he produced for heart centered musicians in the ecstatic community and his own growing catalog of originals, remixes and mash ups. Luke Rain is a producer, DJ, performer and educator from Seattle, WA. Songs that he produced have totaled over 8 million Spotify streams, he has taught over 600 private producer and DJ lessons, and has released over 10hours of music to Spotify, both for his own artist projects and the music he’s produced and engineered for others. To date, Luke has released 16 songs on Equanimous’ High Vibe Records label, 4 on ill.Gates’ Producer Dojo label, and 2 on Willdabeast’s Grand Alliance label, plus many more independent releases.
