DJ: Shalman
Shalman’s life and spiritual journey in this world started in California and has led him to experience the medicine of music and dance all over the world - from the jungles of Bali to the beaches of Costa Rica and all over in between.
His personal dancefloor downloads have inspired him to curate deep musical journeys that elevate and activate the senses and body, allowing permission for dancers to journey to their truths within. He blends medicine music with tribal bass, afro house, and all sorts of booty shaking beats in between. His signature sound is uplifting, spiritual, mystical, tribal, deep, and ecstatic. With every DJ set, which is a ceremony in itself, he invites you to dance to the soundtrack of your own medicine — your own life.
Salman has played at many ecstatic dances and festivals around the world including Bali Spirit Festival, Bali Bloom Festival, Envision Festival in Costa Rica, Burning Man, and Unison Festival in Colorado.

Contact Improv: Michael Orlinsky
Michael is a musician of mind, body and spirit. He holds a Master of Music degree, and has trained and explored an array of movement, music, and spiritual modalities that he integrates into the energetic motion of dance. He studied with CBC’s founder, Vangelis Legakis, at the Taiji Temple on Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. This time of study was a culmination of experiences that lead Michael through a deep process of transformation. While in Guatemala, he collaborated with amazing artists, formed a band, developed a collective of martial artists to share teachings where he taught boxing. During this transformative period, he also studied meditation, metaphysics, and more.
Host: Aaron Moss
Aaron has been dancing contact improv since 2017 and has extensive knowledge about the body. Before his career shift into massage therapy, he spent 6 years as an indoor skydiving instructor where he taught people how to dance in the wind—the key to which is to “fly your fascia”.
Aaron believes there’s a dynamic balance in each of us which helps us find harmony with our environment. The dynamic balance within ourselves involves the harmony the different rhythms in our bodies—breath and heart, eyes and movement, mind and expression. Once we find that harmony, we can show up grounded in our joy and begin to unravel the unique experience of a shared moment with another soul.
