*** DJ HEARTBEAT — known for his mesmerizing, heart-opening, magical musical mixes that span dance tracks, world beat, chill out, tribal rhythms, reggae, electronica, flowing trance, dynamite covers, well-placed surprises.
*** Lloyd Barde has an instinctive gift for providing music for creative dance, movement & healing inspiration. As DJ Heartbeat, he brings an exquisite depth of knowledge and presence to his work as Movement Wizard, playing music that invites the body to move and inspires the heart to soar. Besides his vast music collection, spanning six decades in all styles, is his innate sense of “reading the room” and tuning into his audience. His music is both playful, unexpected, and lends a special “live magic”.
“Of all the many DJs I enjoy, DJ Heartbeat is the most inventive and spontaneous and fun, with his ability to respond to the dancer’s energies around him. He’s the best alternative DJ I’ve ever heard!” — W. Lewis
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.
