About this Event

Dancing releases neurotransmitter endorphins (also called happy hormones), which serve to reduce stress and cause our bodies to feel calm, happy and optimistic. These are unprecedented times and we want you to know we are here, we care about you and we want you to feel the impact of those happy hormones! Come dance with us this Saturday May 2nd. The dynamic and talented goldenboi will be throwing down beats for us to release our bodies, minds and endorphins. We hope you'll join us!

Skilled in the art of somatic movement and healing through relational ways of being, goldenboi weaves together luscious soundscapes that open the heart, deepen the breath, and return the body to centre. Inspired by a wide array of musical influences from dancehall to dubstep, groove to global underground, and hip-hop to house, the goldenboi experiences aim to leave everyone feeling like they have something to dance to, weaved in an arching progression. Expect intelligent lyrics, intentional rhythms, and a soul-clapping good time. Outside of the Ecstatic Dance community, Geoff is one of Victoria’s co-founders of the PLUR Collective, a socially-conscious group of artists inspired to host events & parties for a cause. Best known for hosting the infamous "Pants Off Dance Off" parties in support of HIV/HCV positive youth, and “CatHAUS” which supports newcomers and refugees, Geoff moonlights as both intentional organizer and playful prowler, DJ boizNcatz, laying down deep & groovy beats that move people to action. Join goldenboi in exploring the richness in flow. With sound as the medicine, and community as the container, there is no limit to the ecstatic presence we can access through shared & embodied movement.
