What is Glow&Flow?

The Experience

Dance & Music Journey

The music is curated to carry participants through a journey that starts slow & intentional, moves through high energy peaks, and back down to reflection. An experience structured around 9 distinct cycles of movement and energy.

HERE.

Facilitated Workshop

Similar to a yoga class, there is a clear opening, middle and end with an instructor guiding you through.

There are moments with guided, specific movements alongside spacious sections for free-form, intuitive dance, while the facilitator guides the overall energy, rhythm, and peaks of the experience.

(No prior dance experience

needed)

Live Performance

Each event may include surprise performance elements woven into the journey, such as live vocals, looping, DJing, live instruments, or a dance and movement performance.

FAQ

What kind of music will you play?

The music will be a thoughtfully curated journey designed to move your body, emotions, and spirit. You’ll hear a mix of world music, Afro beats, fun-modern-poppy tunes, throwbacks to the 80s and childhood favorites, modern dance electronic, soulful medicine music, and even instrumentals.

This isn’t a typical dance party playlist — the songs are woven together to guide the energy of the experience, with moments of gentle grounding, playful fun, ecstatic peaks, and reflective pauses. Expect music that inspires creativity, lets you get lost in the rhythm, and supports both free play and guided movement. There may even be surprises along the way — live vocals, layered sounds, or tracks designed to enhance a sense of presence and embodiment.

Whether you love dancing wildly, swaying gently, or fully immersing in the sonic journey, the music is there to hold and inspire you.

Why is it priced this way? Shouldn't it be less than the indoor dances, isn't outside a public place for all?

Some of our outdoor dances actually have higher costs than many indoor events. Even though it’s outside, I still need to secure city and sometimes state permits, which ensures we can host safely and legally. On top of that, the event uses a silent disco setup, which means each ticket includes a wireless headset. These headsets are rented per person, unlike a typical indoor sound system where one setup can serve everyone.

As these dance journeys now travel to different cities, the ticket price also helps cover travel-related costs such as transportation, lodging, and the time required to bring this experience on the road. Hosting events in multiple locations allows me to share this work with more communities, but it also adds real behind-the-scenes expenses for a traveling, in-person business.

All of these expenses — permits, per-headset rental, the specialized outdoor setup and travel costs — are built into the ticket price so that you can enjoy a safe, immersive, and high-quality dance experience without compromise.

What is a dance journey?

A dance journey is a guided movement experience where music, rhythm, and the body are used as tools for expression, release, and connection. There is no prior dance experience needed — you’re simply invited to move in whatever way feels natural to you.

If you’ve never heard of or been to an ecstatic dance, think of it as a space where people dance freely without choreography, judgment, or performance. There’s no right or wrong way to move — the focus is on listening to your body and letting the music guide you.

How is this Dance Journey different from others?

This experience is intentionally facilitated and guided through 9 distinct cycles of movement and energy — a framework I’ve developed through years of working in dance, movement, education and wellness. Each cycle supports a different quality of movement, emotion, and nervous-system state, helping participants gently arrive, build energy, express, release, integrate, and land. Learn more about the 9 Sacred Movements HERE.

Throughout the journey, I offer verbal guidance, imagery, and invitations that help shape the arc of the experience. These guided moments are woven together with periods of open, free-form dance, giving you both structure and spaciousness. You’re always welcome to follow the guidance or simply move in your own way.

This blend of facilitation + free play is what makes this dance journey different from many ecstatic dances that are entirely self-led. It creates a container that feels supportive for first-timers, families, and experienced dancers alike.

Will the headphones fit my child?

The silent disco headphones we use have fully adjustable headbands and are designed to fit a wide range of head sizes — from adults to children — which means they can fit most kids comfortably. Brands similar to the ones we use are often described as “perfect fit for all ages,” with adjustable sides that can suit both adults and children.

However, because these are standard sized over‑ear headphones, they are generally best for children who are old enough for regular sized headphones to stay on comfortably, usually around 3 years old and up. The headphone rental company does state that they fit most heads from toddler to adult.

Can we share a headset?

Each person needs their own headset to get the full experience — the guided prompts, music cues, and moments of flow are all designed for individual connection and movement. Sharing would mean missing parts of the journey.

Since this is a ticketed event, we ask that everyone have their own ticket so they can fully enjoy the dance, play, and music.

Tiny tots exception: If you’re bringing a toddler under 3, then we can make an exception for 1 adult to share with 1 child.
