About this Event
Mose is BACK!
Last Year, the famous Mose curated an unforgettable night for us on his 3rd time in Toronto since coming in 2018! Since then, each Cacao Dance has grown bigger and bigger as people around the city are becoming more attracted to intentional, sober celebrations with Cacao.
Mose has been travelling the world sharing his Cacao Dance Experience for years and we are thrilled to host him as he shares his mesmerising Cacao Dance with us once again! At one of the best live music venues in Toronto, The Concert Hall! With the highest quality, sound, light, dance floor experience!
Accompanying him is the incredible Bruna, who will lead a heart-opening Cacao Ceremony before embarking on an ecstatic dance journey like no other.
What is the Cacao Dance?
Welcome to the transformative realm of Cacao Dance. As you step onto the dance floor, embrace the intentional container that encourages silence, creating a sacred space for a deep and immersive journey. The ceremony preceding the dance is led by the beautiful Bruna Bortolato alongside Mose, invoking intention, gratitude, and prayer. This ceremonial prelude lays the groundwork for a profound and spiritually charged dance experience.
Cacao Dance is more than just movement; it's a conscious exploration to connect with oneself and community. The dance unfolds with a deliberate arc, starting slow and spacious, allowing participants to attune to the music and let their bodies intuitively guide their movements. The overarching goal is to transcend the mental chatter, diving deep into the heart, embodying the emotions alive in the present moment. The dance reaches a climactic peak, pulsating with full-power energy before gracefully winding down to a slower, softer pace for integration.
This alcohol-free container draws inspiration from ancient shamanic practices of entering trance, offering a space for profound insight and personal evolution. The intention is clear: to foster a connection with oneself, community, nature, and spirit in support of the greater collective evolution. As you immerse yourself in the rhythms and energies of Cacao Dance, anticipate not only a dance but a transformative experience, leaving you with insights to integrate into your life's journey.
This event will be produced by Chocolate Groove & Unity Productions, a Toronto-based production company committed to co-creating unforgettable community events, festivals, retreats, and providing essential support to productions across Ontario.
Get ready to be swept away by the magic of Mose's North American Tour!
Let's unite, celebrate, and dance our hearts out together. Save the date and join us for an unforgettable night of joy, connection, and pure bliss
MEET MOSE
“Great music is that which carries the present-minded listener to the doorstep of infinity. All music already exists - the musician is here in service to remove a bit of the veil and let some of it through into this physical space. Through the use of a steady hypnotic beat, paired with ethereal voices and melodies we can release into the void and remember who we are - we are one.”
Mose is based in Guatemala where cacao ceremonies and ecstatic dance have had a major influence on his productions and DJ style. It is here that he founded regular cacao dances where members of the community have the opportunity to journey deep into dance while held in a ceremonial container, free of alcohol.
Beyond the multicultural rhythms and the steady hypnotic beat, Mose weaves ephemeral chanting of sacred songs and calls to love, kindness and compassion, often bringing in live musicians to create something improvisational connected with that particular place and time. He creates with the intention to set a foundation for self discovery and the cultivation of a present minded state which offers new insights and deeper clarity in ones porpose.
When he is not touring the world or playing these special events in Guatemala, he spends his time going into extended periods of retreat and silence, only to emerge with a deeper, truer and more refined sound. He also supports other emerging artists through his record label Resueño with an intention to bring resonant souls together to create music that uplifts and inspires. The label transcends any particular cultural aesthetic and explores a universal vibration through weaving sounds and languages from around the world. It is also a vehicle for social causes as 50% of all label profits are donated to causes around the world to help those
most in need.
