About this Event

Welcome to the Luminous dance community!


JOIN US for this incredible Luminous collaboration with Michael Sebastian at The Sanctuary &Soul in their beautiful space in Shoreditch.

As the New Moon set to arrive on 19th March signifies new beginnings and a time for setting intentions, we invite you to join us on 20th of March for our signature style of conscious dance which will incorporate the artistry and talents of Michael Sebastian.


Sebastian will share some ‘Suggestions For The Dancefloor’ in a warm up based around his latest album, which is a campaign to liberate people in movement & life. He will offer some tools and energetic insights for dancers to take into their dance, with themes of unmasking, moving with emotions, and ecstatic surrender.


This will be followed by an ecstatic dance journey, with DJ Gumbo playing 2 waves of afro-inspired music from around the world. This will incorporate live instrumentation from Sebastian, where he will blend Amapiano, Afro & Melodic house, Techno & World Groove, to bring the dancefloor into ecstatic revelry, responding to them live and in the moment.

ABOUT MICHAEL SEBASTIAN

South African Michael Sebastian creates live dance music, and is on a mission to liberate his audience. He combines electronic, world and jazz music to create an engaging and uplifting experience.

His live show activates the audience uniquely, an immersive high-energy hybrid live set, that engages with musicianship, movement, and authentic expression. It unifies and motivates the crowd, leaving them in a state of collective ecstasy.

“Celebrating the collective euphoria of the rave, "Move" encourages listeners to abandon their worries and live in the moment, showcasing Sebastian's talent for creating live dance music.” - Earmilk


ABOUT LUMINOUS

This is a co-collaboration with YOU!

Luminous Ent are ran by a BIPOC community who are dedicated to bringing diversity into the wellness space. Inspired by the lack of representation in the conscious community, we have created all-inclusive spaces where ALL ARE WELCOME - Ecstatic dances, creative classes and sober festivals are a few of the events that we've curated, but we remain open to collaborate with all who have something to contribute towards positively impacting the wellbeing of others.

Our signature conscious dance 'LUMINOUS' is held twice a month, around the full and new moon. Resident DJ Gumbo plays an eclectic mix of afro-inspired music from around the world. There will be percussive instruments throughout the space which encourage you to collaborate with us in creating the musical journey. Our fun, heart-centred experience is an expressive outlet for whatever you have been harnessing, to leave you feeling rejuvenated with a fresh injection of positive energy. We are creating an open forum for the community to input on each month’s events, sharing music that you would love to dance to (either composed by others or by yourself).

Every event is unique as it's inspired by those in attendance, we welcome you to join us!
