🌀💗 🌀 Dear dancing friends, it has been so much fun continuing this ecstatic Vortex journey with you! In these uncertain times we want to empathize the importance of staying resilient and finding joy wherever we can: in movement, music, embodiment and connection. Our April vortex will aim just for that: Masha will guide us through a grounding cacao ritual and closing connections. Patrick Crowley will come from Western Mass to bring us his playful approach to contact improvisation as a warm-up. And we are very excited to introduce a special guest: EIR (Alexandra Freyer ) as our ecstatic wave DJ 🎧. Alexandra is an American vocalist, multi-intrumentalist, DJ, songwriter and producer. Her music blends the etheric and esoteric with the physical world. Ranging from downtempo and sound healing frequencies to organic and progressive world organic house. (instagram: @i_am_eir )
