TELL ME MORE ABOUT MOVE DEEP!
MOVE DEEP perches itself at the intersection of a traditional conscious dance and unfiltered inner journeys. MOVE DEEP offers you the opportunity to look inward to tap into your own power, and to find your own route. It is a journey in exploration of ourselves, the universe, and the musical world. By design, this will be a more raw experience than others, keeping the focus on your journey rather than dance culture, structure, or familiar expectations. Come join me to connect with yourself through love of music, dance, celebration, and embodied self expression!
COOL! WHAT ABOUT THE MUSIC THEN?
So glad you asked! Expect highly energetic flavors of many tones! Just as life has an unending and steady way of keeping things novel and shifting, so does MOVE DEEP. Joyous, mystical, primal, natural, universal, bright, dark, gritty, and all in between and beyond can be found here. Expect to be surprised and delighted and encounter a bit of the unknown each time. Sound palettes will often include bass music, world and organic vibes, shakti vibes, psychedelia, house, trance, reggae, dub, and so much more…

ABOUT THE DJ:
Since grade school, Avira has been immersed in choir, dance, and the world of music. Her love affair with electronic music took root on the pulsing dance floors of underground raves, eventually leading her to the transformative world of ecstatic dance. With an eclectic and expansive taste, Avira crafts immersive sonic landscapes that invite dancers into a richly textured and deeply felt experience.
Driven by a passion for personal and collective healing, Avira curates her sets with an intuitive blend of celebration, soulfulness, and emotional depth. Her music has been described as a luscious blend of dynamic, whompy, vibrant, world, bass, and house music – designed to move not only the body but also the heart and spirit. Through conscious dance, she creates sacred spaces where movement becomes medicine, offering dancers a gateway to connection, release, and profound self-discovery.

Getting there
Free adjacent parking lot
The space
Three simple guidelines
Learn more about ecstatic danceWe dance barefoot
This allows us to connect more fully with the ground. Socks are OK, and dance shoes are fine if a physical condition calls for them.
We dance without words
This makes it easier to be in a meditative state. No verbal instruction from the facilitators, no talking from the dancers.
We dance sober, as we are
No drugs or alcohol, no phones or cameras, no scents. Just be yourself, with respect for ourselves, the space and one another.
