Boombox Ben (Ben Selin) will be leading our Ecstatic Dance journey. Boombox Ben began his DJ journey through life-expanding experiences at Burning Man. Bringing playa-dust-infused joy, high-energy tech house, and eclectic beats to the Philly dance community and beyond, his sets are playful, embodied, and alive. As a yoga teacher, he brings a deep awareness of movement, presence, and flow—crafting dance floors that invite people fully into their bodies.
Blissful Butterfly Yoga (Veronica Carpenter) will be leading our warm-up. Come home to your body and awaken your natural flow before the dance begins with Veronica Carpenter’s Intuitive Yoga Warm-Up. No experience necessary; open to all levels. Veronica brings a warm, playful, and compassionate lens to her work. This warm-up adapts to who shows up. Veronica will check in with everyone’s experience level, needs, and how they’re feeling, then intuitively guide the group. Expect chill tunes, grounding, breathwork, intention setting, accessible movement, playful freedom, and relaxation. Veronica embodies the practices and principles she teaches—living with curiosity, kindness, and self-compassion, meeting herself where she is, and embracing joy, presence, and authenticity. In doing so, she models for others what it truly looks like to heal, grow, and show up fully as yourself.
Ecstatic Dance as we know it began in the year 2000, on the Big Island of Hawaii. Little did we know that this would inspire a movement, a culture, and a community, that would spread across the world.
