Schedule
Thu Sep 19 2024 at 07:00 pm to 10:00 pm
UTC-04:00Location
Roots to Crown | Saint Petersburg, FL
As the Autumn Moon rises, we gather to honor the Fall Equinox, a time of transition, balance, and new beginnings. This is the season where we embrace the cycles of life—letting go of the old, welcoming the new, and finding harmony in change.Serpentine Salua will guide us through an unforgettable journey of sound and movement, blending tribal and indigenous rhythms with downtempo electronic wubs. Rooted in her Colombian heritage, Salua brings the transformative energy of the serpent—embodying the eternal dance of death and rebirth. Her sets are designed to stir emotion and unlock authentic movement, inviting us to reconnect with the Earth and ourselves.
Inspired by artists like Mose, Porangui, and Liquid Bloom, Salua’s music turns the dance floor into sacred space, creating room for deep healing and personal transformation. Come ready to shed, renew, and step into the next chapter as we dance beneath the light of the Autumn Moon.
