Boulder Ecstatic Dance (BED) - Rabellion 8/30
★ Join us for a fulfilling night of community, connection and dance! Our artist of the week is Rabellion and dance lab facilitator Maya Golan!
★ Rhythm of the Dance
6:15 - 6:30: Arrive and land in the space for Dance Lab
6:30 - 7:15: Dance Lab
Our intention for the Dance Lab is to co-create a core resonance of what is possible when we dance together in a more intentional, alive and collective way. We believe this is the foundation for creating a dance that so many of us are craving!!! Dance Lab can look like dance games, contact improvisation, connection games, etc. It is a place where we get to feel an invitation to bring more play, exploration, and attunement to our experience in dance space. Dance Lab primes us for a free-form, permission-filled ecstatic dance that invites us to tap into a more liberated expression of ourselves. [Accessible for all levels / No experience needed]
7:15 - 7:25: Dance Lab Debrief/ Opening Circle
7:25 - 9:15: Ecstatic Dance
This is the main course of the night where our artist will take us on a soundscape journey into movement as a community.
9:15 - 9:30: Closing
This is a space for individuals to share, express and be seen by the community and is the closing chapter of the evening.
*** Note: You are not required to participate in any part of this which does not feel alive for you. You have full permission to sit/rest/observe at any time of the evening. There is an altar space for pulling cards and meditation. There is also a squish zone for relaxing and cuddles. These spaces are still a part of the non-verbal dance space. You are free to arrive and leave when you wish. If the dance is at capacity, we must turn dancers away. Come early or buy a ticket in advance to ensure you make it in for the dance.
★ Location: Avalon Ballrom - 6185 Arapahoe Rd, Boulder, CO 80303

★ DJ: Rabellion
Tati AKA Rabellion creates medicine music for the dance floor. Mixing Latin-infused organic elements with electronic productions, she combines her skills as producer, singer, songwriter & sound healer, to help lift our spirits and heal our hearts. Her latest releases can be found within Mose’s label Resueño and High Vibe Records.
Originally from Puerto Rico and currently based in Santa Cruz, she has been booked to play her music in 4 continents, 11 countries and over 50 cities worldwide, including: Tulum, Goa, Hawaii, Barcelona, Madrid, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and many more - sharing the stage with lead artists in the organic electronic scene such as Mose, J.Pool & other influential voices.
In addition to having a Masters in Music from Berklee, she has 7 EPs under various music projects and multiple singles released within Resueño compilations. In her live sets, Tati / Rabellion combines her experience as an energy healer with her voice and original productions throughout her DJ set, to offer us a unique musical healing journey.
A deep voyage integrating bass beats, Latin grooves, electronic medicine music and several genres across the globe, to help us feel into all the different sides of our being, and dance our way through any stuck energies or emotions.
