If you've been looking to unlock deeper levels of joy, play, and embodiment in your ecstatic dance practice, this workshop is for you.
Olivia DeGennaro will guide an opening practice called "emBODY Dance" to start the evening. We'll begin with intentional presence, grounding ourselves in the space and tuning into the wisdom of our own bodies. Then, Olivia will guide dancers through an exploration of our own intuitive movement. Through prompts and practices, we'll play with our relationship to the music, to different ways of moving through the space, and to our own unique, embodied expression.
Olivia has loved to dance as long as she can remember. In fact, her favorite memories throughout her life have happened on dance floors. Growing up, her dance studio was her refuge. Her safe space. Her therapy.
But when she went away to college, she lost touch with her connection to dancing. It wasn't until she moved back home to Sacramento, she began to rediscover her greatest love again. And at the end of 2021, the idea of a space for women to dance freely came to her as a divine download. That's how Goddess Night Out was born. With the support of local sisters in Sacramento, her community now gathers each month for a women's ecstatic dance temple under the full moon to connect, express, and release.
Since they started Goddess Night Out four years ago, Olivia has learned that her dance can be her prayer, her therapy, and her play all at once. Dance has not only reconnected her to her purpose; it has brought her back home to herself time and time again. Now, it's her life's mission to share the gift of dance with others and invite them into this practice that reminds us what a joy it is to be alive!
She also teaches weekly dance classes and monthly workshops at her studio, Sanctuary. You can learn more about all of her upcoming offerings through GoddessNightOut.org and DanceWithOlivia.com.
The workshop starts at 7:30 pm, and the doors open at 7:20 pm! Hope to see you there. Make sure to tag your friends in the comments!
