Welcome to SOMANA— an embodied dance journey where Soma (the body) meets Mana (life force), inviting you into deeper connection, liberation, and vitality.
Join us for an expansive evening curated by internationally acclaimed artists Zana Prana & Nizhoni, known for their powerful ability to blend music, movement, and ceremony into transformative experiences. Having shared their music and medicine at festivals and gatherings across the globe—including Aotearoa, USA, and Central America—they bring a unique fusion of global rhythms, sacred soundscapes, and deep intention to every space they hold.
In SOMANA, they weave together the art of Contact Dance, the freedom of Ecstatic Dance, and the nourishment of Sound Healing, inviting you into a full-spectrum exploration of embodiment and expression.
We begin with a 30-minute Contact Dance Lab, where you'll be guided to explore trust, touch, weight-sharing, and co-creation through playful, accessible exercises. This space is designed to help you attune to yourself and others, cultivating presence, connection, and fluid movement.
From there, dive into a 90-minute, 2-wave Ecstatic Dance journey—a powerful container to move freely, release, and embody your wild, authentic expression. Let the deep, dynamic soundscapes crafted by Zana Prana & Nizhoni carry you through waves of rhythm, emotion, and elevation, tapping into the innate intelligence of your body and the collective energy of the dance floor.
We will close the evening with a gentle Sound Healing integration, offering spaciousness and stillness to ground, recalibrate, and harmonize your energy.
No experience necessary — all bodies, all backgrounds, all levels of experience are welcome. Come as you are. Dance, connect, expand.
