JESSE KLEIN
Jesse Klein is a Northern California-based DJ, producer, and live instrumentalist who turns the dance floor into a sacred playground of funk and connection. With roots in partner dance, fusion, contact improv, swing, and a myriad of movement styles, Jesse channels his deep love for dance into every set, creating a flow that invites you to unleash your authentic self.
Jesse’s artistry is a fusion of inspiring soundscapes and live instrumentation, blending funky grooves, sultry bass, world fusion beats, cutting-edge electronica, and heart-centered folk tunes. Each track is a thread in the tapestry of a sonic journey designed to unleash your spirit. His care and musician’s intuition guides the crowd through waves of energy, from grounding depths to ecstatic peaks, leaving no genre untouched if it fuels the vibe and keeps the room alive with motion.
Beyond the beats, Jesse holds a sacred intention: to create a space for transformation, playfulness, and connection through dance. Whether you're seeking an ecstatic release, deeper expression, or simply the joy of movement, Jesse’s events are an invitation to open wide and unleash your soul.

WREN LAFEET
Wren is an embodiment guide committed to practices that encourage living in right-relationship. A trained dancer, theater worker, mindfulness facilitator and recovery counselor, Wren shares bodymind-based practices synthesized from social partner dance, mindfulness, Taoism, the Gene Keys, waterways and relating with other humans that support interpersonal connection, holistic wellness and positive change.
Wren is a TEDx speaker, featured author in "ReInhabiting the Village", certified Attunement Therapy practitioner and HeartMath certified trauma sensitive educator. He holds a BA in Drama and Dance and began dancing in 1998 at the height of the swing dance revival. He immediately began fusing dance styles, particularly swing, hip hop and contemporary movement. Blues / fusion became his principle practice in 2005, and he began weaving his practice, Cocréa, with his former partner, Antje Schaefer, in 2013.
A devotee of the Gene Keys since 2013, he serves community coherence and the cultivation of personal genius as a Gene Keys Guide.
