Ecstatic Dance in the Park - BALTIMORE PRIDE EDITION!
Join us for an evening of art and community in a beautiful, natural setting. We are thrilled to be back n the beautiful Zen Meditation Garden with James Nasty for our third Ecstatic Dance.
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 ourselves, mind, body and spirit, and it helps deepen our connection with others. It is a way to relieve stress and get in touch with emotions. This is a sober event, so that you can allow yourself to fully experience everything that comes up.
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 begin to move and stretch our bodies together, then as the music begins, we will explore movement on our own.
We will also end with a community circle to close and share our experiences.
Now onto the music! We are excited to be partnering with James Nasty again 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, hes favored by Bmore club inventor Scottie B and is in heavy rotation during legends KW Griff and Pork Chops club mixes on Baltimore radio station 92Q.

Time Out Singapore says "Stop being so serious and get loose to James Nasty. This is the kind of stuff coming out of Baltimore thats really popular but still manages to break all the rules.
