About the Event

Dance is Life

This class is a movement life exploration. It is dynamic zen, body/mind connection, human awareness, and FREEstyle (to be free of style.) It is primal, inclusive, basic and advanced. Movers will discover more about themselves and therefore the world around them. We will unlock the keys to life, living and loving, connecting the 'dancer' and the 'yogi', yourself and the Universe! We will work both solo, duo and in groups. This lecture & dance workshop fusion is a movement catalyst, a life changer and a whole lot of fun!

DownTemple

This is a unique dance event that will bring out your inner purr!

Come soft, come subtle.
Come curious, and get ready to snuggle.

The dance floor will be in full effect with DJ Gabriel Francisco and DJ Dyops.

Music will be deep, dirty, smooth, and sexy as our DJs explore the essence of DownTemple.

Gabriel Francisco

The wild and deep score of a future-ancient gathering. The soundtrack of the Cosmos, vibrating and rich with movement potential. Electronic percussion, heady almost nostalgic in its real-time recollection. Windy, wet and silky, yet Earthy, tanned and ashy. Sonic support for the Soul, binding past, releasing present and moving the future!

As an international dancer, teacher, and choreographer, Gabriel's entire professional career has been to take movers on an enriching, educational and insightful journey. In class it has been with movement he creates to music he loves, spinning tales, giving advice, helping, healing…

Transforming from Dancer to DJ, Gabriel has found an evolution, moving from the floor to the decks. Knowing what dancers want, has provided a special insight on what to provide as a DJ. Gabriel has taken his love of music and movement abroad, dropping DJ sets all over Europe, Thailand, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. Gabriel has as opened for Dirtwire, Dimond Saints, Random Rab, Soohan, David Starfire, and MORiLLO to name just a few...
