🎶 Mellow/Groovy Ecstatic Dance
Music by DJ Nate Mladenovic
A 3-hour dance journey with DJ Nate Mladenovic, weaving mellow, groovy, soulful music designed to help your body unwind rather than intensify. There won't be high peaks or intense drops, but plenty of smooth flow, deep bass, grounding rhythms, and music that nourishes.
This is a dance for soft bodies, contact improv lovers, introverts, neurospicy humans, and anyone ready to move without pressure.
