Music Vibe: Musical journey through the full spectrum of emotions
Theme: Dancing through the hard times - dance allows us to process and manage hard times with an open heart and playful approach.
Description: Two distinct waves of music that travel from soft and gentle to big and boisterous. The first wave will be reeeeeeally slow starting to allow deep grounding in the body. The wave will then build and epically crest and then return to a different type of gentle slowness. The second wave starts with a classical flourish that leads into the 2nd higher intensity peak. After this last peak will be a nice string of feel good and nostalgic grooves that allow for full emotional integration that completes with nourishing comforting stillness.
Bio: DJ Dusty Walker has been DJ'ing for dancing folks for over 20 years but found their true artistic calling DJ'ing to Pacific Northwest ecstatic dance communities.

Title: Attunement in Contact Improvisation
Facilitator: Dustin Wong
Description: —Connection Skills—
Contact improvisational dance is a form of partner dancing where it might seem challenging to know where to start or how to do it well. I’m back for my 4th class on the topic. In this workshop we will continue to focus on the experience of connection through shared weight. I will break down the fundamentals and go slowly—emphasizing concepts that will not only promote safety if you wish to learn more advance techniques (like lifting and basing), but it will also shed light on our personal orientation with connecting and attuning to others. This is an all levels class, but will be targeted more towards beginners. In prior classes we focused on more "contact flow" techniques, but this time we will focus on one of the core contact improvisation dance concepts.
Please come early to warm up, stretch a bit on your own, and ground into the space. It is advised to wear clothing that covers the shoulders and knees and avoid wearing scented perfumes. If you are curious but hesitant to dance with others, there is always the option to dance alone and to feel your way into things where you feel comfortable. No experience is necessary only curiosity.
