Music and Movement are at the heart of this event and everyone is welcome. We're celebrating the start of spring and the emergence of new beginnings. The Spring Equinox coincides with Nowruz (Persian New Year) so we will be bringing in elements of Persian culture through decor, offerings, and poetry by Rumi and Hafiz to mystify the evening
As you arrive you will be served complimentary tea and will be able to enjoy fresh fruits throughout the entire evening as well as filtered spring water sourced locally.
Persian decor, floral arrangements, and candles will adorn the space creating an atmosphere that is warm, comforting, and inviting. Enjoy comfortable couches, pillows, and blankets and make yourself at home.
Our evening will open with our talented Fusion Movement Instructor, Jessica, guiding you through a series of dance sequences to expand the posibilities for movement within our bodies.
This workshop is designed for everyone and no prior experience is required to participate in it. Here's a little note from our instructor Jessica...
"We will explore a germinating seed as it emerges from Earth's nurturing soil. We will celebrate the coming of Spring and the renewal of life through Fusion Style dance movements. Like the seed, we too are growing in our own ways and we can experience these movements of emergence and growth together in this nourishing space."
Following this we will flow into freeflow dance portion curated by Siren of the Elements. We'll be taking a musical journey around the world in a celebration of culture, mysticism, and raving. Siren's style of music is a blend of big bass, ancient mantras, ethnic instrumentality, and mind altering wubbies to really get the dance floor moving and grooving. Siren will also be our event host for this evening.
Winding down the evening we'll be basking in the sultry abience created by Heimat (Shervin Bagheri) with his accoustic guitar and Persian singing. His accoustic sets are filled with soulfullness, passion, and devotion to the melody.
