May the 4th BE WITH YOU Niagara Ecstatic Dance i s honoured to host Special Guest APUKUNA and his diverse and cultivated DJ style for this special event. Dance has been used as a medicinet times!! Our north American culture doesnt give us spaces or even invitations where we can can partake in what really is an essential human need to move our bodies in blissful freedom!! Niagara Ecstatic Dance was born out of this need! When we gather in community and encourage each other to really feel and allow the movement to flow magic and healing really does happen! A core componant is THE MUSIC!!! And APUKUNA is a master as this! WHAT IS ECSATIC DANCE???One of the many great things about ecstatic dance is that it is free form movement and therefore everyone can do it! No matter what age, what gender, or what culture you are and no matter what actual dance experience you have ... ....none of that dictates your capacity to ecstatic dance! It's about the flow, the organic movement and the freedom to be! There is NO right way or wrong way! With the many ways we have to pre-qualify and validate our status as human beings in order to engage in life, I find it deeply liberating that there is a space that simply accepts me and you for who we are. A place for our nervous system to recoup and just move freely to amazing beautiful music in a safe welcoming environment. Bring all of you.
