Hello BIG REMINDER:
This is a silent disco event. The city of Oakland wrote us and the
following guidelines must be implemented until I hear more from the
city...
1. Silent disco which means bring your smart phone and headphones to
connect to the music
2. Face masks at all times unless seated, stationary and more than 30
ft from other people. (this is a city of Oakland Mandate not The
Heartbeat Collectives)
3. Bring a mat/towel/blanket/rug to mark your own distanced spot. All
dancers must be 6 feet from one another at all times.
In my opinion we have been very safe and distanced at our Dances and
due to the complaint by a neighbor we must take these next rounds of
dance seriously.
So excited to boogie with you this weekend!

? GABRIEL FRANCISCO
? www.gabrielfrancisco.com
As an International presenter, Gabriel Francisco has spent the last 16
years connecting, sharing and inspiring on the highest, most
professional level of dance education. From studios and
in Japan and Brazil, to teaching choreography in Europe, Russia,
Australia and New Zealand, Gabriel has given his entire adult life
over to unlocking the movement potential in other beings.
~ ' Dance is Life' ~ workshop
This class is dynamic zen, body/mind connection, human awareness,
FREEstyle (to be free of style.) It is primal, inclusive, basic and
advanced. Movers will discover more about themselves and therefore the
world around them; Keys to life, living and loving. We will work both
solo, duo and in groups. This lecture & dance workshop fusion is a
movement catalyst, life changer and a whole lot of fun!
As a DJ....
The wild and deep score of a future-ancient gathering. The soundtrack
of the Cosmos, vibrating and rich with movement potential. Electronic
percussion, heady almost nostalgic in its real-time recollection.
Windy, wet and silky, yet Earthy, tanned and ashy. Sonic support for
the Soul, binding past, releasing present and moving the future!
As an international dancer, teacher, and choreographer, Gabriel's
entire professional career has been to take movers on an enriching,
educational and insightful journey. In class it has been with movement
he creates to music he loves, spinning tales, giving advice, helping,
healing...
Transforming from Dancer to DJ, Gabriel has found an evolution, moving
from the floor to the decks. Knowing what dancers want, has provided a
special insight on what to provide as a DJ. Gabriel has taken his love
of music and movement abroad, dropping DJ sets all over Europe,
Thailand, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. Has opened for Dimond
Saints, Random Rab and MORiLLO to name just a few...

? How it works:
We open with a special warmup yoga or movement class facilitated by a
skilled practitioner. The opening class blends seamlessly into the the
two hour freeform dance journey facilitated by our guest DJ. At the
end of the DJ set we close with a sound bath or group exercise to
ground and complete the experience.
------------------------------------------
? What to expect:
Ecstatic Dance is a community gathering for people who want to express
themselves freely, to connect, and to expand together.

Join us and enjoy a safe and inspiring space to dance without talking,
drinking, and the nightclub vibe. This is about self-expression,
freeing your mind and body, and connecting with yourself and those
around you. No booze, no shoes and no chit-chat on the dance floor
helps us keep it intentional. Amazing music helps us keep it all about
Dance.

? Guidelines:

space or quietly at the edge of the dance floor)

in new ways. - Donna Carrol (Co-Founder Ecstatic Dance Oakland)
