Ecstatic Dance Agreements:

Let the dance be your language, we keep the floor a space of movement rather than words.

Follow what feels true in your body, honor your own boundaries, and practice consent in every interaction.

We gather in a clear, substance-free field, no alcohol or drugs.

Please keep phones away so we can be fully present together.

Dance barefoot if you can, or wear soft-soled dance shoes if needed.

This is a community space open to all ages and expressions.

YAMS

Long time dancer; Long time DJ. DJ: YAMS (fka skycat) got his start in the world of vinyl records. Vinyl naturally lends itself to maintaining a close connection with warm and soulful sounds. Through the years, YAMS became enchanted with the look on dancers’ faces when just the right song hits at just the right time. Now in the digital realm as a DJ and producer, YAMS brings a wide swatch of sonic threads to support dance floors as they stitch together a mandala of motion.
The music YAMS plays reflects a deep reverence for busking culture as well as being inspired by producers that share a love for syncopated rhythms and unique baselines. A dancer at heart, YAMS’ sets will traverse twinkling lows and toe hopping highs. YAMS’ song selection is intersectional - the sets are both thumping and peaceful; they have moments of reflective groundedness along with periods of extroverted levity;  they explore the tension between divine harmonics and divine dissonance. The vibrational undercurrent is release. Above all else, YAMS’ sets are crafted for sated joy.

About Aless Shanti:
Alessandra/Aless, is a dancer, yogini, tea amateur and cacao passionate!
She often starts her day with a cup of tea. From Puer to herbal infusions, she appreciates the medicine of plants. When she sits for her meditation or movement practice, a cup of tea guides her to focus and be present.
She enjoys serving tea, having conversations and creating a cosy space. During her travels all around the world she had the opportunity and interest to learn about medicinal plants and tea. She is continuously learning and humbled by the culture of tea in China and Japan.
Alessandra loves crafting herbal blends combining medicinal properties in tea, but above all, she is a passionate chocolate maker! Her recent creation, La Gourmande, delicious raw cacao truffles, pair divinely with tea. Both tea herbal blends and cacao truffles are available for purchase.
With her open heart, she will be serving tea every Wednesdays nights.
