Medicine Disco At The Ellis

Medicine Disco: a beautiful, systemized, dance ritual and social event with no substances, no phones, no shaman culture, no influencer culture. 

It's electric, therapeutic, and funky. 

A middle ground between a dope night out at the clubs and a meditative spiritual practice.

The Medicine is the music, the dance. The Disco is the dance party it’s served in.

The host and DJ, Michael V is a highly trained expert at dance music storytelling, fitness training, and movement coaching.

The music selection will range and scaffold from ambient, to sultry RNB, to disco, to pumping house, afro, latin, jazz, indie pop, rock, electronic, and other genres in order to give the body a rich storyline to dance to.

1. Music is on, Michael V on the mic.

2. Physical and Non-Physical warm up to bring the musculoskeletal and nervous system online.

3. Orientation to the structure of the dance experience and the rules that make it work.

4. Gorgeous sounds for a short guided meditation.

5. Then the dancing begins: Anywhere between a 90 - 120 minute musical journey that feels like we are dancing through a movie - a really good movie

Michael V will punctuate the dance set with cues on the mic to keep us from getting stuck in our heads, in a habitual movement pattern, or accidentally staying small.

We dance and clap and spin and sweat and maybe scream and maybe cry and maybe feel better than we ever did on the first day of the year (or ever).

The dance ends softly so we can bask in the results of our busting ass on the dance floor - kinda like the end of a yoga class.

We rise slowly, lightly, cutesy, with additional soft lounge tunes to bring us back to a place where we can metabolize the effects of the dance and socialize from this post-dance state of being.

Indulge in the specialty drinks and food available at the venue as a group that shifted energy together.
