March 7th, 7-9pm ~ DJ Uplifter
$10-$20 suggested sliding scale
We will be holding a dance weekly with various facilitators, artists & DJs. Connect with the cosmos through the freedom of movement, as we dance our intentions into life. Free form dance expression gives us a chance to connect to ourselves. Deep cosmic activations are possible when we bring to light what we want and let go of what stands in our way. Gather with community in the sacred vortex of Taos, a land rich with prayer & tradition, as we embark on a journey of liberation, surrender, alignment, and celebration.
Let us remember that dance is a sacred practice that transcends language, cultural and personal barriers. We ask that all community members respect the personal space and expression of others.
This event is free from:
-Cell phones
-Talking
-Shoes
-Alcohol & Drugs
-Judgment
Bio:
DJ Uplifter, Previous Taos Resident & Taos High School Graduate is bringing his music to share with us from Hawaii. With his roots based in New Orleans and having spend many years in the Northern NM/Southern CO regions, dj Uplifter has taken a deep respect for music as an art form and translated it into his unique style of djing. With his extensive knowledge of rhythms and beats, he blends the traditional Jamaican sound system style with an American house-music mixing approach, while adding the infectiousness of the modern Bass sounds of today along with Latin and Hip-Hop sounds. This technique has provided his listeners/dancers with a unique style that is extremely infectious and body-moving. His Downtempo & Dub music knowledge is multifaceted, with attention to detail and layering of various obscure beats and sounds. His mixes induce out-of-body experiences and goal attaining energy.
His Edance performances set a magical tone that have been repeatedly requested in his current home, the Puna district of Big Island. As a resident dj of the Kalani Ecstatic dance community, dj Uplifter has honed his craft whilst keeping in the 5 Rhythms tradition. Uplifting and body-moving sets are his specialty.
With his 26+ years of experience, Uplifter has relocated to Big Island, Hawaii where he continues to expand his knowledge of music and provide dancers with an extensive array of beats to groove get on down!
As a person that appreciates attention to detail and intense professionalism, he strives for perfection in all arenas and works to provide his audience with an experience that is second to none.
