wave 006 | The Sexiness of Unmasking

MushroomJourneyAtLakeAtitlan

I have always loved playing the piano and learning about different keys and how they affect mood, body and mind. Here is a 5Rhythms@ Wave entirely in the key of D Minor! Let this ecstatic soundscape inspire you and wash over you... notice how you feel before, during and after your dance.

5Rhythms® Wave in D Minor

Alive.

Inhale. Find a movement as you take it all in.
Exhale. Explore another movement as you let it all out. 

This music. Down tempo, jazz, old school hip hop and electronic jams ... It's all simply a delicious backdrop to your dance.

When we dance, we invite in presence. And when we're present, we might feel. We might choose to follow our breaths. We discover, recover what it means to be alive.

see you there. right here.

with love

Drop into the final dance at the end of our 4-day 5Rhythms retreat, in here + out there, where we explored 5 layers of relating through the 5Rhythms map:

(1) Flow – energy ‘inwards’: What is my relationship to myself?
(2) Staccato – energy ‘outwards’: How do I show up when I relate to another?
(3) Chaos – energy ‘in and out’: Where is my place in a group?
(4) Lyrical – energy ‘all around’: How do I relate to the world around me?
(5) Stillness – energy ‘in, out, all around’: What is my relationship to the Mystery of life?

A Morning Dance next to the River Loira in the city of Nantes, France with 100 ppl dancing under the cold winter sunlight and the energy of the First New Moon in Aquarius of the year...high vibes, smiles, beautiful connections! 

Had the privilege to play the first Ecstatic Dance of 2023 for another thriving community of Ecstatic Dance in France.

Gracias a Joze y Camila por abrirme el espacio para compartir con su comunidad!

Nantes Dj Set 2023

when we soften to that line between the comfortable-holding-back and entice ourselves over to the uncomfortable-aliveness-of-being,
new things happen. 

whether it's a new sensation of pleasure, a fuller breath, a deeper laugh, a step in another direction, a softer smile, a potent wildness ....

dance with me over your line into your wild-aliveness, and I'll keep on dancing over mine.

PS There is no f*cking way you'd even hear this music if I stayed comfortable.


blessed beats,

Taste how deep, juicy, raw and real we got at the My Erotic Core Retreat (July, 2023).

Before hitting play, put on an item of clothing that you feel sexy, sensual or erotic in. When you sweat, let that be your lube. And with each movement, welcome in your creative aliveness, wildness, your unique electric current.

P.S. What is the Erotic Core?

wave 016 | Meeting my Erotic Core

initiation wave of change .... 
Change .... some of us seek it out, unable to rest in present moments. some of us try hard to hold on tight and wish the 'forever'. Through my breath and body, in the dance, I am reminded to hold gentle, release with ease. Through the dance, I remember change is nature and divine.

In this dance, we find ourselves in a slow flow, building up to a long release and different flavors of chaos, and bring ourselves back together as the music slows down. 

In a time of global chaos (uncertainty), this  playlist is like a laboratory to find our own ground, our own stamina to stay connected, our ability to know we can let go and come back to ourselves again. 

And - this playlist is simply a way to be raw, free, expressive. 

-------
x-dance @ home is a 5Rhythms® class, a dance meditation. It's an invitation into raw, uncensored expression of ourselves. An eclectic mix of music seduces us into our shape-shifting dances that carry us through a wave of musical beats. Into curiosity. Into freedom. Into connection with ourselves and others.  

Sweaty Dances. Awkward Dances. Dark Dances. Graceful Dances. Playful Dances. x-dance. your dance.
