Expanding from our regular Ecstatic Dance Fridays, Plein Soleil offers a broad range of classes, workshops and events to open up to new modes of movement, deepen understanding, and explore possibilities for self expression.
Wednesday April 23rd ∞ Ritual Trance Dance ∞ Marianne + special guest Raffi Snaill (live percussions)
Ritual Trance Dance is a unique blend of body movement, healing sounds, dynamic percussive rhythms, transformational breathing techniques and the innovative use of a blindfold - together stimulating a 'trance' state that promotes spiritual awakenings, mental clarity, physical stamina and emotional well-being. Trance Dance takes participants on an 'inner journey' not limited to our normal perceptions of space/time. Ritual trance journeys have been a vital part of shamanic and eastern dance cultures for thousands of years.

Wednesdays April 30th, May 7th & 14th ∞ House Dance Expression ∞ Tronix (Guy)
You love to dance freely, to let go and move with the music. But sometimes, you wish you had more vocabulary to express yourself—more tools to play, communicate, and flow with confidence.
House Dance is more than just steps; it’s a feeling. It’s about letting the house beat sink into your body and soul, finding rhythm in every breath, every groove, every bounce. It’s about reconnecting with the energy of the cypher—the circle where dancers exchange, inspire, and uplift each other.
Wednesdays May 28th, June 4th, 11th & 18th ∞ Contact Beyond Contact ∞ Marianne
