Ecstatic Dance with TurtleBear
Opening Guided Movement Workshop with Patrick Padden
Closing Sound Bath with Annmarie Fore
Meet TurtleBear:
Bringing presence and an intuitive sense of flow, TurtleBear is known for creating contrast and beauty into a collage of sacred sound. Genre-bending and blending, strange and beautiful symphonies, and heavy beats that make the heart feel light are the themes of the sound that he brings to the table. Whether it’s deep house, heavy bass, or organic tribal varieties, each set is intentionally created as a way for you to find peace within through song and dance.
TurtleBear has been mixing for over a decade in many different scenes. Living in Denver, Colo., since 2020, he’s been influenced by House, Bass, Ecstatic Dance, and different Tribal styles of music. Able to fit whatever set and setting, color, and theme, his versatility and ability to hold space through sound is unprecedented.
Opening Guided Movement Workshop with Patrick Padden:
Drawing from the intimate connection fundamental to blues dance, this class explores partner connection, presence, balance, and creative expression.
Through simple partnered exercises and musical exploration, we’ll practice listening with the body, sharing weight, and finding ease and clarity in connection.
Closing Sound Bath
The evening will conclude with a short Sound Bath from professional sound healer Annmarie Fore. Annmarie brings wisdom, presence, and peace with an enchanting array of instruments and tools. A perfect way to integrate an evening of movement and magic.
Get ready for a dance journey that is deep, wild, heart-opening, and whole.
