Description

Join us under the Full Moon as we celebrate community, creative expression and music. Join us for an evening of art and community under the Full Moon in a beautiful, natural setting. We are thrilled to hold our first Ecstatic Dance event in a beautiful park, that is cared for by folks in the community. Ecstatic Dance has been a form of creative expression throughout human history. It provides a chance to lose yourself in the rhythmic beat of the music, allowing your body to express itself and move freely in whatever way it desires. Dance is a way to experience life fully and completely in the present moment, and can bring profound meditative and even trance-like states. Dance can bring a greater connection to your mind, body and spirit and deepen your connection with others. It is a way to relieve stress and get in touch with emotions. We will begin with a community circle, to set a few basic expectations and guidelines so that everyone feels safe and supported throughout this event. We will also end with a community circle to close and share our experiences. Feel free to stick around at the end for a short performance by local fire spinners and dancers! Now onto the music! We are beyond excited to be partnering with local musician, James Nasty for this event! Baltimore, Maryland resident James Nasty excels at producing and DJing Baltimore club music while maintaining roots in turntablism and open format Djing. Nasty is locally iconic and globally respected. Voted the “Best DJ In a Club” in the Baltimore City Paper twice, he’s favored by Bmore club inventor Scottie B and is in heavy rotation during legends KW Griff and Pork Chop’s club mixes on Baltimore radio station 92Q. Globally, he's spun for Boiler Room and gained support from the likes of Bassnectar, Mace Pled, A-Trak, GTA, Anna Lunoe, Sirius XM Shade 45’s DJ Wonder, L-Vis 1990, Dj Uniique, Dave Nada / Nadastrom, Gorgon City and more. Time Out Singapore says "Stop being so serious and get loose to James Nasty. This is the kind of stuff coming out of Baltimore that’s really popular but still manages to break all the rules. Exact location with directions on how to find us will be emailed the evening prior to the event. Please let us know if you have any questions in the meantime!
