Ecstatic Dance

Ecstatic Dance Mix ~ 02.28.19 ~

An eclectic selection of music from around the world designed to inspire dance in all those that hear it ~ starting out slowly and building towards some high energy climatic beats, and then trailing off into sweet relaxation at the end

As is our style at Ecstatic Dance Toronto, the doors open at 7:30 and the music starts slowly at first, as people trickle in, building a bit with some more abundant movement until we stop at 8 for a short break ~ we say a few words of introduction, introduce a theme, have a few deep breaths and then begin the music again, starting out slowly ~ I've included the music right from the very start, and that's why there's a short pause around the half hour mark, with the music then starting out slowly again.

Enjoy, dance, and be free ~ !

I'm feeling a freshness, and revitalization these last days with the full moon and equinox ~ the return of the sun, and the warming weathers moving my body into action ~ pulling on the water within ~ drawing up my vitality ~

Inviting you all to feel the flow of those healing waters ~ finding fluidity through dance ~

Spring has sprung and the metamorphosis has begun. Unfurling our petals and welcoming back the winged ones. This was our inaugural event at Lindy Hop on a Saturday night. Feeling so supported by so many beautiful souls to make this movement possible. All the chill space, and the alters, and the sound, and tea zone. Something special coming through. Thank you!

Played this set at the Friday conscious dance in Guelph on June 28th. We had a larger than expected group and folks were in a vibrant mood. Such a pleasure to play some tunes for you guys! Hope to be back sometime before long.

I had the pleasure of sharing some music at Anahata Open Air yoga festival just north of Toronto this August long weekend. I felt like I brought a slightly unconventional but well-woven musical offering, starting out with some of that mid tempo folkloric electronic music, and then building up to that undefinable world bass and beyond to deep house, afro-house, and an undefinable sort of driving deep-tech-house. It seemed well received! Thanks again for having me!

Delving deep into darkness ~ keeping our heart fire strong in this time ~ singing our songs ~ dancing our dance ~ we went late into the night for this round ~ something a bit heavier than normal ~ but feeling like there was some good work done, and in the end we've emerged lighter ~ thank you for everyone who makes these events possible ~ much love
