This is art rooted in indigenous cultures and traditions; the vibrations find a home in nature’s resplendent environs. Nice, a former turntablist who has logged time in the skateboard and snowboard industries, returned to making music with a newfound clarity and focus following health challenges that saw him stop making music for an extended period. Through inner journey and personal triumph, Nice has arrived at an exotic cross-section of styles, yet maintains a sound all his own. With 2 decades of DJ experience Scott has spend the past 6 years playing music for (and dancing with) the Ecstatic Dance community. Drawing on the inspiration from the Ecstatic community has helped keep his productions very diverse and uplifting. In 2016 Jumpsuit Records released Scott's freshman album 'All the Wild Creatures' and in 2017 the follow up EP 'One Under the Sun'. In 2018 he released his sophomore LP ’A People Called Home’ and 2019 saw the release of Scott’s first remix album comprised of 11 producers including El Buho, Uji, Volo and more. Scott has been a featured producer and remixer on many releases including Ayla Nereo, Wildlight, Volo, DJ Taz Rashid, Equanimous, Mikey Pauker and The Polish Ambassador albums.

It is an alcohol free, family friendly event. Leave shoes and conversations at the door. ECSTATIC DANCE MIDTOWN-SACRAMENTO GUIDELINES: VERBAL & NON-VERBAL SPACES: We’ve created one VERBAL and one NON-VERBAL space for you to engage with your ecstatic dance experience. VERBAL SPACE: The social lounge area is the space you first walk into that has been created for you to enjoy and experience verbal conversations and connections. NON-VERBAL SPACE: This is the main dance floor area located in the Auditorium. If a SHORT conversation needs to happen in the NON-VERBAL space, lean into your partner’s ear and whisper to them. If the short conversation turns into a longer one, please take your conversation into the social lounge. We believe that movement is medicine and this is why we stress non-verbal spaces. Silence allows the attention to drop out of the mind and into the depth of the body where magic resides. ***BODY AWARENESS: LISTENING FOR CONSENT IN EVERY MOMENT*** We encourage interaction and connection on the dance floor. When you want to dance with another, please be sensitive, mindful and slow. Listen for their body’s “YES.” Some suggestions are: mirroring their dance moves, offering a hand, making eye contact and smiling. If they turn away from you, or give you prayer hands in front of their heart in Namaste, this is their “NO.” Don’t take it personally, just redirect yourself and keep dancing. If someone isn’t listening to your NO, or they are making you feel uncomfortable or they are being inappropriate, please tell someone immediately. BLIND-FOLDED DANCING: This can be a deepening movement experience. However, please be aware of your surroundings, move with care and stay in your space. PERSONAL HYGIENE: No heavy perfume or oils. Please practice good body hygiene when you come to dance. Seriously, no one likes to dance with stinky people. Bare feet and dance shoes only on the dance floor please. LITTLE ONES: One attentive adult to one child at all times. Please be aware of little ones around you if they are unattended and help them to get reunite Most importantly, HAVE FUN! This is a comfortable place for you to drop out of your head, into your body, and let loose.
