What an amazing (almost) 5 year journey this has been! From 10 dancers in a park to a thriving 100 dancer community every week at the San Rafael Masonic Lodge. I am grateful to each and every one of you who continues to make this such a vibrant and amazing community of people who come to feel, express, emote, connect and bask in the deliciousness of dance.
I LOVE playing amazing dance sets for you all to move to. I come from a background of 40+ years as a jazz pianist, and I bring all my musical knowledge to the forefront to bring you the best music to facilitate a magical journey. See ya sweatin' on the floor!

Michelle Om will be will be offering delicious eats and refreshments and Rainbow 🌈 Chakra Gemz body butters on Sundays at San Rafael ED in August! 🐉💗
Come join the amazing community in San Rafael we co-create every week! It is our dance church and sanctuary! A place to connect and re-connect with yourself and others. A place where all are welcome and all emotions are welcome. Like other Ecstatic Dances, we are talk-free, substance-free, shoe-free and FREE spirited!

Guidelines for our dance
• BE PRESENT (no phones or cameras)
• NO TALKING (no talking on the main dance floor – soft voice/whispering is ok in the back of the room)
• EMBODIMENT (be aware if your body movement is causing danger or if your voice/sounds are disruptive to those around you)
• SUBSTANCE FREE (no intoxicants of any kind)
• CONSENSUAL (make eye contact and confirm a “YES” before engaging with others, respect others space - crossed arms, looking or moving away means “NO”)
• GROUNDING (no outside shoes)
• RESPECT (respect your own & other’s space, expression, and autonomy)
We have a dance 'fairy' available for anyone who needs to talk about anything (challenging or troubling) that happens/ed to them at the dance. Kerin Meri is our first dance fairie. If you don't know who she is, ask the host or others at the dance to point her out.
As your host (Dan Z aka DJ DZ), NEVER hesitate to bring anything to my attention that you feel needs to be addressed. ❤
DJ DZ brings the dance to the people and the people to the dance! Cause we can never have too much movement and liberation in our lives!
