Pixi Pete
Ecstatic Dance
Workshop Details
Discover a place where presence, exploration and playfulness meet in movement, a place where all is welcome. This Ecstatic Dance will be a partially facilitated and DJ workshop of free-form movement and self-discovery. With a combination of somatic inquires and playful invitations, you will find your own way into your groove. Get back as much as you give. There will be live percussion to enhance the dance and a sound journey to integrate the journey.
