About this Event

Join us fo this Santa Cruz Spring Equinox Celebratory dance to mark the Spring threshold, as we dance out in the trees, surrounded by wild flowers and mainge magic down by the waters edge.

This session will be a gently facilitated mindful movement class.

We will dance outdoors in a contained spot amongst the trees at the very back of Lighthouse Fields park area using silent disco headsets- getting embodied on earth, using movement and music to call us present to the pleasure of being alive:)

So come be with us for this sunset 5Rhythms dance session out under wide open skies, as the sun goes down over the ocean.

This will be an ongoing series of seasonal outdoor dance celebrations.

In 5Rhythms dance there are no steps to learn, nothing to get right, just doing the dance that only you can do.It will be a designated non-verbal dance space to support us in dropping in deep ( ie. it is NOT a “hang-out and picnic and chat and have a few beers while I boogie” type of headset event!You will be invited into presence, into practice, into the preciousness of dancing out under wide open skies


'And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair'- Khalil Gibran


530-7pm. $20 cash or venmo onto door.


We will use “in ear” silent disco headsets transmitters.We will be located on the side of the main huge field -furthest from the ocean- hidden in the trees near where Liberty Street meets Peyton Ave.We will be dancing throughout at the back of the the main field -( ie NOT on the very busy little lawn right by the lighthouse- it is way too busy down there to meet and dance deep down there..)


See map in event page feed below for precise location of where to find us - we will be on the side of the main huge field -furthest from the ocean- hidden in the trees near where Liberty Street meets Peyton Ave.
