Virtual Ecstatic Dance Party

Hello friends! This Friday I was supposed to be playing for Just Dance in Vancouver, however for obvious reasons I'm not. BUT I would still like to play for you! WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE? Ecstatic Dance is whatever movement feels good to you. Dance journeys span many genres and invite you into a progression of sounds to inspire different kinds of movement. Ecstatic Dance is for all ages, all bodies, and all genders. It is normally done without talking, no cellphones, and no shoes. I like to think of it as a moving meditation! The audio will be broadcast to Facebook to https://www.facebook.com/shamanatrixmusic Access my Zoom community dance room to see one another dancing here: https://zoom.us/j/932946777 I'll start around 5:30 (ish) Pacific Time with some ambient warm up music and then offer some guided facilitation before we begin our dance at around 5:45pm. We'll dance till around 7ish, and I'll offer a brief integration meditation to conclude. I absolutely love mixing music, and this is a great source of mental wellness for me. Offering this is my way of reaching out and sending you some love and support, and I do so freely without any expectations. On a practical note however, I usually make about a quarter-to-a-third of my regular monthly income through facilitating and DJing dance events, and have monthly payments to make on my DJ equipment. If you would like to offer a donation for this dance, you can do so here: https://www.paypal.me/melmariposa <3 much love to you all! About Me: Reaching altered states of consciousness, dancing with the spirit world, delighting in shadows and light... the Shamanatrix invites you into a journey woven from threads of soul and a collage of melody that will leave you transformed. Global nomad, cultural rebel, social misfit, lover of music and movement: Mel studied performing arts and musical theatre before finding a new expression for their creativity in event production. Feeling something was often missing for them on the dance floor, they realised the only answer was to start mixing music themselves. As co-facilitator of Dance Temple Comox Valley they have been honing their art and are honored to share this magic and medicine for everyone. Mel is grateful to live, love, and dance, on the Unceded traditional territory of the K’òmoks First Nation."
