Church of Dance - Holiday RESET

" " is a community-focused 'ecstatic dance' movement therapy session for people of all walks of life to come together and celebrate our bodies through freedom of expression. Ecstatic dance is often a somatic healing journey and cathartic release of stagnant energy and a powerful method to contain and cultivate energy within yourself. Assisted and guided by the intentional music and sounds of the resident DJ of the night. 'Church of Dance' is medicine for the soul.

Our mandate is simple:

-to provide a spacious dance floor

-to bring good vibes

-to provide great music

-to be accessible in the West end

Featured DJ of the night:
DJ ASTROBOY

Astroboy is a Toronto-based DJ whose primary directive is to take you on a sonic journey and make you shake what your momma gave ya. Prepare to move and be moved by a diverse selection of sounds from around the world, from funked up disco grooves to deep tribal rhythms, bhangra to bachata, dancehall to drum and bass. Music should be fun, so let’s play. You can catch Astroboy blasting off on underground dancefloors across the city, including a monthly ecstatic dance residency. TLDR: Prepare your ass for assimilation! 🚀
