DJ: skycat (Jesse Manuel)
Originally from San Francisco, skycat got his start in the world of vinyl records. Vinyl naturally lends itself to maintaining a close connection with warm and soulful sounds. Through the years, skycat became enchanted with the look on dancers’ faces when just the right song hits at just the right time. Now in the digital realm as a DJ and producer, skycat brings a wide swatch of sonic threads to support dance floors as they stitch together a mandala of motion.
The music skycat plays reflects a deep reverence for busking culture as well as being inspired by producers that share a love for syncopated rhythms and unique baselines. A dancer at heart, skycat’s sets will traverse twinkling lows and toe hopping highs. Skycat’s song selection is intersectional - the sets are both thumping and peaceful; they have moments of reflective groundedness along with periods of extroverted levity; they explore the tension between divine harmonics and divine dissonance. The vibrational undercurrent is release. Above all else, skycat’s sets are crafted for sated joy.

Contact Improv: 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.
Come join Aaron for an hour of exploration & play that will develop the dynamic balance within yourself and find your flow in partner dancing.
