✧ LET THE BEAST OUT ✧
PRIMAL MOVEMENT & GROUND FLOW
with Jonathan Vardakis
A playful exploration of strength, mobility, coordination & ground-based movement.
We start gently, warming and mobilising the body before exploring crawling, reaching, rotating, balancing and flowing close to the ground.
The workshop gradually builds in intensity, so you decide how deep you want to go.
16:00–16:30 • Warm-up
16:30–17:30 • All Levels
17:30–18:00 • Going Deeper — Optional
No previous experience needed.
Come ready to crawl • twist • reach • play • sweat • explore.

✧ ECSTATIC DANCE ✧
WORLD FUSION • LIVE
RAFAEL ARAGÓN
with Live Drums & Percussion by SANDY MARTIN
Brussels-based DJ, producer, composer & live performer Rafael Aragón has spent more than 15 years exploring the meeting point between traditional music and contemporary electronic sound.
His musical universe moves through Afro-Latin & SWANA influences, global bass, ritual rhythms, deep electronic grooves and psychedelic textures.
For this special journey, Rafael is joined by Sandy Martin on live drums & percussion, bringing the raw human pulse of live rhythm into the electronic journey.
Expect deep bass, organic percussion, world rhythms, psychedelic textures and a journey through softness, intensity, trance & release.
No choreography.
No right way to dance.
Just you, the music, the tribe & the floor.
