Summary: A dance ritual in which embodiment and flow would be applied to dances for the clubbing culture associated to electronic music
Important facts, please, read this through:
• How to find the event: Do not expect a (large) group of people dancing to extremely loud music! Most likely there will be me (Regina LoMío, same person as in the picture of the event) and possibly a few clients. Two (2) clients (me plus 2) is the absolute minimum to start the dance ritual, and therefore I encourage you to come accompanied with friend(s) whenever possible to make sure the event takes place at the time of your arrival. Oftentimes we start later as people are arriving late, but I will be there most likely on time to receive you. Don’t be shy or afraid and just come up to me, even if there is one client only we would have an interesting conversation about relevant topics. It is a good idea to count with a possible delay of start of a maximum of 30 minutes, which means you would be leaving 0 to 30 minutes later than otherwise planned here.
• This is a donation-based event, meaning you can (not should) make your (highly appreciated) donations through the Eventbrite platform (transfers) or in person (cash) when you attend the event. You can also make donations through PayPal to [email protected] and stating the specific event.
• This event is organized by LoMío, Regina LoMío’s company in Berlin. Eventbrite is an event platform where the event was originally posted.
• Disclaimer about refund policy: You can request a full refund of your Eventbrite donations only when the event is cancelled for reasons under my jurisdiction and control. For instance, when I cannot attend due to sickness or personal problems. I would announce that as soon as possible. No refund due to bad weather, arriving late, not finding the place within the park, or other. Only the donation made to LoMío is refundable, Eventbrite fees are not refundable.
• This is not an event to sit down in the park and watch others do their mind-body work. This is not a show or concert! Please, read event descriptions and make sense of them, thanks!

Finding a link between embodiment, conscious dance practices, and techno clubbing culture may not seem obvious. Yet the recent evolution of dance-friendly electronic music is very much a result of deep worldwide cultural changes which revolve around crucial aspects of the individual and shared identities as well as the (collective) emotional being. And then there is the command of the tech beat, with its repetitive and at times deliberately “shifting” effect on our minds. In fact, our modern Techno/Electro/House raves have probably evolved from those ancient rites in which music is intended to make you dance „for yourself“, for your spirit(s) and for your own beliefs. And, of course, for your own personal relationship with your whole body.
In a ritualized setup, like in the traditional rites associated to ancient cults and cultures, dancing can be a healing tool when coupled with conscious cultural learning and mindful and/or flow-enhancing techniques. Here we propose a dance ritual in which the concepts of embodiment and flow would be applied to dances (and subcultures) associated to electronic music to awake and/or improve the individual mind-body connection as well as aiming at reaching relevant states of consciousness, eg. the so-called states of "total flow" and "dance trance". Moreover, the dance rites would also include storytelling, items, and subjects with spiritual connotations.
Our rites aim at improving the individual relationship with dance, movement, body awareness, spirituality (religion-independent) and are therefore equally suitable for those who have never felt comfortable when dancing and those who may well be experienced dancers but lack confidence or the ability to fully lose themselves in it to some degree. On top of that the rites are an opportunity to connect to others through dance in a more embodied and spiritual way than just clubs, parties, festivities, and many other types of dance gatherings.
Blended in the sessions without a particular sequence, we will embodiment-aware dance the following dance/music styles: House (Classical, Acid, Italian, Afro, tech, deep), Techno (old-school, current, psy, ethereal, space), Minimal, some Ambient, Industrial, some Drum&Base, some Ethno(Techno), Trance, diverse meditative and ritual(ish) electronic music.
Level and audience: Level-independent, it is all about the ritual and the potential healing that we all need. This is a racism/sexism/queerphobia-conscious event and as such ethnic and gender/sexuality minority people are explicitly invited and welcome. This is NOT an event to get to know me personally, flirt with me, or push any of your agendas. Please, be mindful!
Frequency: Once a week. Since this is not a course (or workshop) but instead individual dance rites happening every Saturday and intended to run the whole warm season, you can always catch up and come when you want/can.
Dates: every Saturday at 4:00-6:00 pm. Whenever it would be necessary to cancel event dates due to bad weather or other issues I would inform as soon as possible in all the event’s sites.
Price: Donation-based. We will be glad for your (max. 20 EUR) contribution.
Inscription: Not required but you are welcome to notify attendance or ask questions through sending an e-mail to [email protected].
Outfits: Training outfits, sports wear, or similar. No shoes or training shoes (don’t destroy your sandals, we dance on soil!).
Language: English (German or Spanish on request).
Address: We will dance at the Katzbachstr. side of the Viktoriapark. This means we will be inside the park but not far from the street. For a detailed map with the highlighted site look in the event's Discussion. IMPORTANT: it is on the whole event's Discussion not in an individual date's discussion on a smartphone Facebook app. On a mobile device, just go to the page of the whole event and then expand the Discussion by clicking on "See all>" to display all posts.
Please, don't be too afraid of the possible rain since it would take a bit more than usually expected for me to cancel event dates. Provided it is not like a dangerous storm I still would play and we will dance under the rain as we got water-proof equipment. If it rains or any harsh wind blows we would have to cancel individual sessions, but hey, there will always be another chance!
