★ Join us for a fulfilling night of community, connection and dance! Our artist this week is Clarity!★ Dance lab facilitation by Danny Balgooyen!
★ Rhythm of the Dance
6:15 - 6:30: Arrive and land in the space for Dance Lab
6:30 - 7:15: Dance Lab
Our intention for the Dance Lab is to co-create a core resonance of what is possible when we dance together in a more intentional, alive and collective way. We believe this is the foundation for creating a dance that so many of us are craving!!! Dance Lab can look like dance games, contact improvisation, connection games, etc. It is a place where we get to feel an invitation to bring more play, exploration, and attunement to our experience in dance space. Dance Lab primes us for a free-form, permission-filled ecstatic dance that invites us to tap into a more liberated expression of ourselves. [Accessible for all levels / No experience needed]
7:15 - 7:25: Dance Lab Debrief/ Opening Circle
7:25 - 9:15: Ecstatic Dance
This is the main course of the night where our artist will take us on a soundscape journey into movement as a community.
9:15 - 9:30: Closing
This is a space for individuals to share, express and be seen by the community and is the closing chapter of the evening.
*** Note: You are not required to participate in any part of this which does not feel alive for you. You have full permission to sit/rest/observe at any time of the evening. There is an altar space for pulling cards and meditation. There is also a squish zone for relaxing and cuddles. These spaces are still a part of the non-verbal dance space. You are free to arrive and leave when you wish. If the dance is at capacity, we must turn dancers away. Come early or buy a ticket in advance to ensure you make it in for the dance.
★ Location: Nevei Kodesh - 1925 Glenwood Dr, Boulder, CO 80304
★ Tickets: Pay for a sliding scale ticket from $15-30 at the door or reserve a spot in advance through the Actualize ticket link.
★ Artist = Clarity
I am a shamanic sound weaver - utilizing frequency and emotional current to create optimal sounds, experiences, spaces and realms for human beings to be safe to feel, expand, connect, move and resonate our highest dream timelines.
I play the violin, piano, guitar, my voice, the computer, and any other instrument I can get my hands on to try. Genres that inspire and influence me include folk singer songwriter, pop, plant medicine ceremonial music, electronic bass music, hip hop, underground downtempo house, afro beats, lo fi and indie electronica. We are in an age that defies both genre and identity and I intend to keep pushing and challenging those ideas as long as I am a living breathing creator.
I care for the earth, the purity of the waters, the wellness of all beings and their pure hearts. The dragons are here and I’m helping to activate the proper frequencies for us to remember our divine sacred innocence.
