Dance Journey is an ecstatic dance* experience and movement practice for diving deep within your body, heart & soul. We are a female-run dance, but we welcome all humans to our dance space! We hold a strong, safe container to support you in a movement practice that will help you express, release, tend to, and expand.

OUR VALUES:
• Safety
• Diversity & Respect
• Honesty & Authenticity
• Accountability
• Deep Listening
• Depth

*WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?
Ecstatic Dance is a free form movement space that invites and supports your body to express in whatever way feels real for you in the moment. Facilitated by an Ecstatic Dance DJ, this is a journey that has the potential for healing, growth, and transformation. Our number one priority is safety- we invite you to express yourself in whatever way is safe to yourself and others. This is also a barefoot, non-verbal space (though sounds are welcome and encouraged). We end with a brief closing circle. The rest is your own journey.

ABOUT THE DJ'S:
DEANNA RENEE: Deanna Renee is an ecstatic dance DJ, embodiment facilitator, and wilderness rites of passage guide. Her passion for movement and earth-based spirituality permeate throughout her organic and sensual DJ style. Her sets have been described as medicinal, feminine, playful, inspirational, international, soulful and heart-centered. She loves to mix world music, percussion, earth sounds, and inspiring lyrics. Deanna channels her visceral passion for dance, music, culture and the Earth through her music journeys.

MOLLY XO: Molly grew up on the East coast dancing and singing to the music of her childhood era. She developed a passion for music and dancing and keeps that going now behind the decks. Her musical choices range from liquid dub, latin, afro house, trance, trap, reggaeton, lyrical and moving epic tracks intended to take you through the rainbow of emotions. She believes music and dance has the power to heal. Dance is medicine.

PRESENCIA: Presencia (Chelsea Amber) started DJing in Feb. 2021. Her aim is to create medicinal journeys for us to move to and remind us all of our Divinity. The name "Presencia" comes from her strong internal value to remain present in every life moment and creative process, including creating musical journeys. Her musical curation has been inspired by the west coast bass underground scene she grew up around, her years living and teaching in Central and South America, her yoga journey, and nature. She is an nature wanderer, Ecstatic Dancer, DJ and Facilitator, yoga teacher, and holistic body worker and she's stoked to be a part of this project. Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-762463379
