Want a good reason to be grateful this week? Here it is.. this Friday Night we've got another dance in community ! Join us this Friday for your weekly dose of Dance Medicine. We are welcoming one of Asheville's finest to grace us with his unique blend of music magic this week. Mikaya Swabb will be guiding us in the ecstatic dance portion of our journey as well as our sound bath! .•*º Micah "Mikaya" Swabb is a DJ and facilitator for the Asheville Movement Collective, and was the founder and resident DJ for Dance Church Maui from 2011-2019. He has a deep understanding of set arrangements for conscious dance events, yoga classes and ceremonies through his 8+ years of experience. Mikaya's mixes inspire meditation through movement in ways that widen the scope of one's self-awareness and self-expression. His mixes use a spectrum of musical genres to deepen somatic embodiment through movement, breath and presence. Using a large bell curve progression his DJ sets begin peacefully, build momentum and contrast, and then land softly with resolution and grace. He has a gift for finding beautiful tracks that cover a broad spectrum of musical genres like global bass, tropical house, techno, glitch hop, downtempo, classical and ambient. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But first....
