About
Hi, I'm Leah! Growing up in Ireland, trance music was a huge part of my upbringing and culture. Trance showed me how music alone can open altered states, no substances needed! It taught me that the body itself can be a pathway to euphoria and dance can be the way in. Now living in the United States, trance remains one of the strongest ways I stay connected to home. This music carries nostalgia, release, and transcendence, and I want to share that with the Pittsburgh community!
Expect classic trance from the 90s and 2000s, from artists such as Tiesto, Mauro Picotto, ATB and Robert Miles. Come experience freedom through trance and ecstatic dance ❤️‍🔥
What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform movement practice where you're invited to dance without choreography, letting the music and your own spirit guide you. It's a judgment-free space for physical release, emotional expression, and genuine connection. No dance experience needed, no verbal socializing expected. Just you and the music.
