Embodied Connection Warm Up with Cameron Grayson
Ecstatic Dance live DJ set with Keena Maya
Sound Meditation with Melissa officinalis
We will be honoring the container of the space, which includes these guidelines:
~ this is a judgement free dance journey, feel free to express yourself!
~ limit conversation on the dance floor, this keeps the energy flowing (there will be a designated space and time to chat)
~ this is a substance free event
~ no phones, photos, or videos on the dance floor, there is so much magic in full presence
~ we invite you to explore the shoe-less experience of dancing barefoot
Our featured artist for this dance is Keena Maya!
The depths of Keena Maya's transmissions are incantations, drawing us down into our roots, grounding us into our bodies, and invoking the incandescent deity within us to rise. Her sound, known as BASS BLISS, weaves deep bass, effervescent organic instruments, and transnational invocations to inspire heart-centered expansion and awaken the feminine energy within us all.
Keena Maya, a sound artist, DJ, instrumentalist, and hypnotist, is devoted to creating dance rituals that guide seekers toward a holistic embodied evolution—connecting the self, community, the Earth, and the Sacred. An experience that is both grounded and transcendent. She is half of the ritual bass project b e i n g - s o u n d, a pillar of the (r)evolutionary arts, culture, and well-being movement Collective BAE, a resident DJ of Ecstatic Dance NYC, and a resident artist & teacher at Dance Beyond / Beyond Academy. Roots in Brooklyn and currently stewarding life in the Hudson Valley of New York.
Keena Maya is, so that we may become.

Embodied Connection Warm Up with Cameron Grayson
In this warm-up, we will connect with ourselves and our bodies, settling into presence to then explore our connection with the others around us. We will attune to the collective energy of the group and find our place in the shared space. This warm-up will prepare us to enter the dance with a sense of regulation, awareness and connection.
Sound Meditation with Melissa officinalis
We will gently land our dance with a sound meditation featuring live sound healing instruments including shruti box, koshi chimes, singing bowls, and more.
