Dance Temple Cortes
Location Change: Due to an increasingly ominous forecast we will be dancing at Mansons Hall
Dance Temple - Beach Days are Back
Thursday July 2 with Sarah Etherington
We are delighted to welcome Sarah Etherington back to Cortes again this summer to facilitate our Dance Temple space for what was going to be our first outdoor Dance Temple of the summer. Unfortunately the weather looks wet so instead of being at the beach we’ll dance at the hall and provide silent disco headsets for anyone who wants to bring their dance outside.
Sarah Etherington has been a part of ecstatic dance communities globally for 25 years and was invited to take the helm of the Salt Spring Dance Temple collective in December, 2021. Sarah brings a keen somatic awareness to her sets and has a unique ability to infuse her joy, unleashing the wild on the dance floor. Sarah’s sets are a musical tapestry of sultry beats, deep liquidy bass, polyphony tracks that cultivate a wide range of movement, joyful connective world beats and loads of percussion. Sarah creates journeys with long peaks, sweet surprises and delicious landings. Sarah loves to join the dancefloor while playing and nurture the vibe with her wild unabashed joy.
$15-$25 at the door
All ages, all genders, all bodies, and all parts of YOU are welcome.
Regular Temple Guidelines:

Dance Temple is an alcohol-free and scent-free space. Please also refrain from phones and outdoor shoes.
The facilitators of Dance Temple hold a strong intention to honour movement and dance as an essential and powerful expression of self and connection to others. We acknowledge the healing and creative nature of movement and recognize that fun, play and humour are vital to this practice.
