VESICA, while originally from Berlin, has lived most of her adult life in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. Oakland Ecstatic Dance saved her in 2008, when her doctoral dissertation on spirit possession & psychiatry was literally driving her mad. Ever since, Ecstatic Dance has been her twice weekly, non-negotiable pilgrimage to the dance floor -to get down and right with herself, her community, her body and the Universe.

It is no surprise then, that VESICA is a dancer’s DJ inspired by Global Bass & world electronica deeply committed to the Heart, Soul and Funk of her dancers.

Come join the amazing community we co-create every week! It is our dance church and sanctuary! A place to connect and re-connect with yourself and others. A place where ALL are welcome and all emotions are welcome. Like other Ecstatic Dances, we are talk-free, substance-free, shoe-free and FREE spirited!

Guidelines for our dance

• BE PRESENT (no phones or cameras)

• NO TALKING (no talking on the main dance floor – soft voice/whispering is ok in the back of the room)

• EMBODIMENT (be aware if your body movement is causing danger or if your voice/sounds are disruptive to those around you)

• SUBSTANCE FREE (no intoxicants of any kind)

• CONSENSUAL (make eye contact and confirm a “YES” before engaging with others, respect others space - crossed arms, looking or moving away means “NO”)

• GROUNDING (no outside shoes)

• RESPECT (respect your own & other’s space, expression, and autonomy)

As your host (Dan Z aka DJ DZ), NEVER hesitate to bring anything to my attention that you feel needs to be addressed.

DJ DZ brings the dance to the people and the people to the dance! Cause we can never have too much movement and liberation in our lives!
