Seattle Ecstatica: Presenting Alchemia; West African Dance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ecstatic Dance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alchemia Alchemia uses movement and music to process the human experience, as well as connect even more deeply to herself and those around her. She aims to have her sets do the same for others. Having travelled all across the globe, she pulls music from the places and people she meets, keeping her sets fresh and interesting. She is also a yoga teacher and leads events focused on healing the nervous system - you will notice that she brings that same purposeful energy and healing intention to her sets as well. Songs that evoke power, play, and passion, using a variety of instruments and sounds. Strong bass beats balanced with introspective instrumental moments. Inspired by music across the globe. Sultry, sexy, and heartfelt vibes flow seamlessly into songs bursting with tribal rhythms, dubstep, flirty art pop, funk, and psychedelic electronic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pre-Dance Workshop ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ West African Dance w/ Sarah Lee Parker and Baba ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Evening flow ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6:30pm - Doors Open 6:45pm - Workshop 8:00p - Dance begins 10:00p - Dance ends, closing circle 10:10p - Snacks & Socializing 11:00p - Doors close ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cost ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Workshop: free if attending dance Drop-in $20 Pass $90 (6 dances @ $15) Cash or Venmo at door or prepay online at omculture.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
