Take a journey into the depths of your soul as Ananda Bliss weaves together an eclectic mix of genres and beats to take you on a journey of exploration and expansion. Her mixes are meant to bring you on a journey into yourself as you discover what moves your body. Where are you holding these emotions? The dance becomes a meditation and a practice as it strengthens one into their own authenticity.

Funky, trap, soulful, house music, jungle beats, afro beats, dubstep, dance and edm, and eclectic mix of genres. Ananda is always listening to new music and likes to mix it up and create a journey that takes you from one genre to the next like a wild ride that evokes emotions, and helps one to experience release and states of BLISS on the dance floor.

Bio

Ananda Bliss is passionate about creating community. She has always loved music and is trained in piano and guitar but never played for anyone but herself. She started teaching yoga in 2018 and was putting together playlists and that became a very important aspect of her classes to flow with good music. When she discovered ecstatic dance in 2020, she soon became hooked. Moving the body and being in touch with our emotions, thru music, has been a huge tool of transformation in Amanda’s life. She hopes to share this passion and medicine that helped her thru some difficult times. Dancing and moving the body freely has been a huge form of expression that has helped her expand in ways she couldn’t have dreamed otherwise. The community and connection she has experienced thru ecstatic dance is something Ananda seeks to create wherever she goes! She is based in the Gulf South region of the U.S. and spends 4 months out of the year in Costa Rica.
