Ecstatic Dance Agreements:
Let the dance be your language, we keep the floor a space of movement rather than words.
Follow what feels true in your body, honor your own boundaries, and practice consent in every interaction.
We gather in a clear, substance-free field, no alcohol or drugs.
Please keep phones away so we can be fully present together.
Dance barefoot if you can, or wear soft-soled dance shoes if needed.
This is a community space open to all ages and expressions.

Rourke is an audio alchemist rooted in Berkeley, CA, with a decade of experience sculpting sound. His future-rustic sets are immersive journeys—rising from acoustic atmospheres into intergalactic hoedowns— weaving deep beats with the soulful resonance of live handpan and flute. Through genre-fluid storytelling, Rourke conjures dance floors that pulse with dusty disco, dirt-steppin’ bass, and global folktronica. His sets are sprinkled with nostalgic remixes and medicinal melodies, designed to awaken the heart, move the body, and transport the spirit. Whether under the forest canopy or a city rooftop, Rourke brings a ritual of rhythm that invites connection, joy, and dance-floor catharsis.
