Dance as Medicine is happy to present Movement Temple w/DJ Dragonfly!!!
The respect I have for Dragonfly aka Martin and what he has done for the dance community in the Bay Area and way beyond is immense. He is a true pioneer in the conscious dance world! And so much history right here at the Fairfax Community Church!
Movement Temple is every 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month at The Fairfax Community Church, alternating with Ecstatic Dance which happens on the 2nd and 4th Fridays.
Come dance, connect and be with your community in a beautiful, meditative and deeply present environment with a good variety of different tempos and styles of music (some slow, some mid and some higher energy). Enjoy cozy cushions and places to lie down and relax inside the beautiful, meditative space of the Fairfax Community Church. This is not an Ecstatic Dance per se, however, it is also not a downtempo vibe. Plenty of room for Contact Improv as well as space to do your own thing!
This is what we are creating with Movement Temple. And we hope you can join us! The dance will be a quiet space, though whispering or talking quietly in the back/corners/sides is allowed. We will have a sound healing followed by a short closing at the conclusion of the dance set.
$20-28 (prepay w/Venmo, credit card or at door)

Hailed as a pioneer in the Ecstatic dance scene, this self-proclaimed proto-beatnik is known for his commitment to celebrating dance floor culture; in doing so he brings 25 years of deep crate-digging, and movement inspiration to dancers around the globe. His dynamic and shape-shifting DJ sets are artfully crafted travelogues of genre fusing, tempo-twisting sonic morphology. The end goal: To inspire your own movement mythology and your unique connection to spirit. His sets invite you to surrender to a space where ecstatic movement reminds you that every part of your body has something beautiful to express to music…and that you are music having a human experience..
Join me for an hour immersive travelogue of genre-fusing, tempo-twisting sonic morphology that spans downtempo, dub, house, DnB, funk and dancehall with a throughline of sacred bass and global culture.
