Jazztory Billie Holiday (for Ronnie)

In the first edition of Jazztory for the unforgettable Billy Holiday, she was represented by the just so unforgettable Andronia Popova (Ronnie). Five years after that and six months after Ronnie left us, we will repeat this edition in her memory. This time the magnificent vocalist and close friend to Ronnie - Desislava Andonova - will sing. Dimitar Lyolev, Teodor Petkov, Vassil Hadzhigrudev will join her to make this evening at least as special and emotional as the first Jazztory Billy Holiday edition was.

Ecstatic Dance ep. 2

Why Ecstatic?

Our moto as a group is “Changing ourselves to change the world”. We believe Ecstatic dance is a way to explore, experience and expand yourself while embarking on a shared journey to the mystery of presence.

Ecstatic Dance is a conscious way of getting into deeper connection with the Soul and the Spirit within. We dance to look within, not to be looked at or to observe others. We devote our dancing to ourselves, to the sacred connection between Body, Mind, Soul and Spirit.

What helps us on the way is, of course, music. We dance to electronic music that is specially selected and mixed to take us on the journey of rhythm, melody and beat.

What keeps us safe are our ground rules:
1. We dance without speaking.
2. We dance barefoot to feel the connection.
3. We take no drugs, opiates or alcohol before and during the dance session.

After the dancing session we will be indulged to listen to live music performed especially for us to get us grounded. The event will be closed by a moment of sharing and connection.

All you need to do to become a part of it is follow the registration link and get registered - the event has a limit of 50 guests. Then, show up at 19:30h on 26th April 2018 at The Space Plovdiv.
Registration link: https://goo.gl/forms/nEUpuPBGlaUlhMiz1
Entrance: 8 lv with a preliminary registration; 10 lv without registration. You will pay and receive your ticket upon entrance.

You can get comfy in some clothes fit for dancing on the spot - there will be two dressing rooms that we can use. Water will be provided.
