REBEL HEART | DJ
Let the deep, resonant bass be your guide. REBEL HEART is an ecstatic dance DJ who speaks through the language of emotive, melodic soundscapes and visceral, bass-driven energy. Having completed formal Ecstatic Dance DJ training with Kimba Jade, she brings a refined technical depth and a sophisticated understanding of the dance floor to every performance.
Her sets are crafted with a deliberate arc, designed to build from soul-stirring depths to a high-energy peak. She masterfully weaves a tapestry of genres—including Drum and Bass, Dub, Dubstep, and Breaks—using rich, primal bass undertones and intuitive lyricism as keys to broadening emotional and physical expression.
Through inclusive, high-vibration spaces where the elemental power of bass meets the art of movement, her sets champion the body and the magic of music as essential partners in the journey toward self-connection. By centering the visceral bond between the heart and the beat, she invites a soulful return to the self through the power of sound.

ECSTATIC DANCE
Ecstatic dance is a free-form movement practice that encourages self-expression and connection through music. Key guidelines include no talking, no phones, and dancing barefoot, all to promote presence and connection with oneself and others. Respecting personal space and boundaries is also crucial, including obtaining consent before dancing with others.
Please do:
Be Present: Embrace the music and movement, allowing yourself to fully experience the moment.
Move Freely: Dance without judgment or predefined steps, exploring your body's natural movements.
Communicate Nonverbally: Use body language and gestures to interact with others, if desired.
Respect Boundaries: Seek verbal or nonverbal consent before initiating physical contact or partnering.
Be Mindful of Others: Maintain a respectful awareness of your surroundings and fellow dancers.
Dance Barefoot: This is a common practice to enhance connection with the floor and ground energy.
Express Yourself: Allow your emotions and energy to flow through your body.
Please don’t:
Talk: Ecstatic dance is a space for nonverbal communication.
Use Phones or Cameras: Minimize distractions and focus on the present moment.
Consume Substances: Ecstatic dance is a sober practice.
Judge Yourself or Others: Embrace freedom of expression without self-criticism.
Assume Permission for Contact: Always seek consent before dancing with another person.
