Ecstatic Dance Portland

Join us for our TUESDAY July 21st Lineup!

Our Dj of the week is N E Ø M Ʌ () (https://soundcloud.com/neomamusic). She takes dancers on a journey around the world, piecing together an eclectic soundscape filled with world instruments, nature sounds, and soul-stirring vocals from across the globe. With her love affair with bass, she utilizes the grounding effect of heavy baselines to assist dancers in fully dropping out of their heads and into their bodies. N E Ø M Ʌ loves evoking a collective sense of belonging and connection on the dance floor, by sprinkling in nostalgic pop remixes to sing-a-long to. Being a singer-songwriter herself, she weaves in her intuitive live vocals throughout her set. For N E Ø M Ʌ, every dance is a prayer and every set is a ceremony. Her hope is that her intentionally curated sets inspire a deep remembrance in the listeners: of the ancient and ancestral practice of dance and music as medicine. 🔥✨

We will start the evening at 7 pm with Partner Dance led by Carter Nelson, supported by Jordan River. In this micro-fusion partner dance class we’ll explore how subtle movements of the chest, ribs, shoulders, and spine can travel through a close embrace, creating a dance that belongs to neither partner alone. Through playful exercises in listening, redirection, and shared movement, we’ll discover how the embrace itself can become an active participant in the dance. No partner or partner dance experience required.

We will close with a beautiful sound healing experience led by Chaz Pro (). A local sound scientist, Chaz will be sharing an alchemical journey through sound healing instruments and healing frequencies to bring us into stillness and closure for the night.

We will start the evening at 7 pm with Phillip "Obi" - founder of Seeded Somatics (). Phillip invites participants into a collective exploration of nervous system resilience — what it looks like not just as a personal practice, but as something we build and sustain together. Drawing from his Somatic Signature framework, the workshop guides participants toward cultivating signals from within: learning to read the body's own organizing intelligence rather than overriding it. Expect grounded movement, embodied inquiry, and practices you can carry into your daily terrain.

IshStar () has been exploring the Art of Embodiment since before the turn of the century. With over 25 years of yoga and stage experience she will share conditioning warm ups, essential lengthening exercises, posture, alignment and shapes to activate dance geometry. In sharing conditioning and strong foundational skills she hopes to support you in finding your unique expression through dance.

Our Dj for this week is Mr. Moo 🎻(https://soundcloud.com/mrmoomusic) From the forested hills of Portland, Oregon, Mr. Moo has spent over a decade stirring together things that don’t usually mix: tribal folk fiddle and hip-hop, twisted into left-field bass mutations. His sets don’t perform. They summon. After five years of deliberate silence (no stages, no streams), he’s back with the same strange conviction, only deeper. Get ready to moooooove.
