WHAT TO EXPECT:
🌊 Five Hours of Ecstatic Dance: Come early, stay late, or slip in when the rhythm grabs your ankles.
🎧 International DJ Maxim Sol - from Russia to Bali to Cape Town: a master of spacious, textured journeys that melt armour and awaken the body. His sets can be viewed here on Youtube
πŸ”₯ Mid- Event Firedancing Workshop: A gentle invitation into movement, connection, and embodied curiosity. Open to all levels β€” and especially to those who always thought β€œI can’t dance.” Trust me, you can.
🎧 Resident DJ AYIS and DJ Brian Bergman: Earthy, soulful, sun-kissed. The kind of set that makes you forget your phone exists.
_________________
This event is not only fun, but is a fundraiser for the Greenhouse Clay Studio for single mothers in Vrygrond township.
Some gatherings are just parties. This one is a movement towards repair.
Clifton ZERO beach events dedicated to dancing differently β€”in reverence to the land, in honesty with ourselves, and in solidarity with women whose creativity has been historically dismissed, ignored, or exploited.
This time, every step in the sand supports the birth of a clay studio for single mothers in Vrygrond township β€” a space where art, healing, income, and dignity manifest. Your presence becomes part of building that future.
_________________
OUR VALUES:
🌱 Zero Waste. Respect the ocean. Bring what you need and take it all home.The kelp will thank you.
πŸ’› Zero Alcohol. Because dancing sober is its own revolution.
🌍 Zero Colonialism: A commitment to honouring indigenous movement traditions, the land we dance on, and the communities we support through this fundraiser.
🀲 Community contribution: All income from ticket sales and donations go directly towards establishing the Greenhouse Clay Studio for single mothers in Vrygrond. You are not just attending β€” you are participating in a generational shift.
_____________________
What to bring: water, swimwear, towels (if you want to swim) and something warm to wear after the dance, picnic.
Directions: walk down to Clifton 1st Beach. Facing the ocean, turn right. There is a tiny pathway that leads you over the rocks to Clifton Zero beach. We are there from 16.00
***Fire Spinning Workshop with Anina and Fire team ***
Within us all exists a primal urge, a flow of energy that wishes to be expressed, despite and because.
Learn the basics, techniques, and applied approaches to allow your expression forth, through the medium of poi and music. Sharpen your skills, embody your dance and practice your new spinning skills after sunset!
Location: walk through Clifton 1st beach to the right, facing ocean. You will see big boulders and a tiny path over it. Walk it, and you will arrive to Clifton Zero beach
