SUMMARY:Medicine Disco – Beacon – October 2025
DESCRIPTION:” … ecstatic dance’s edgy , FUNKY, ALTERNATIVE … ”\n“… immediately after I felt cleansed, like I’d reset my nervous system…”\nMedicine Disco is a systemized dance ritual.\n15% meditation + stretching + musculoskeletal activation\n85% facilitated dance (live dj)\n0% forced alchemy\nImagine the best damn night out dancing but you like …\nACTUALLY PREPARED FOR IT.\nWe tend to think that we can just walk into a night club and all our nervous systems, and egos, and bodies are ready to receive the power of the dance.\nCuz lets face it, when we leave a club feeling AMAZING it’s not the booze, it’s not the substances, it’s not the cool outfits.\nIT IS THE DAMN DANCING.\nSo …\nWhat if instead of prepping our outfits, we spent that time prepping our breathing\nWhat if instead of prepping our bodies with booze, we prepped it with electrolytes\nWhat if instead of prepping our egos with the cool moves, we prepped our hearts with permission to do whatever\nThat’s what we do at Medicine Disco.\n———————————–\nThe Run of Show\nWe will walk into the space and close the door behind us physically and metaphorically.\nI’ll meet you with some cute tunes 🙂\nThen I’ll either guide you through some gentle movements standing or I’ll decide if we just need to lay the fuck down on the floor and shut off.\nSee, right off the bat you are held. You don’t have to think about anything. I’ll just guide you (with full permission for you to tell me to fuck off and do what you want as long as it doesn’t disrupt someone else’s experience).\nI’ll guide you through a lite meditation, some stretches and exercises (don’t worry it’s not aerobics).\nThen the music will pick up and I’ll guide you through the subtle increase in tempo (don’t worry it’s not pilates I’m just going to make suggestions on movement patterns).\nThen the music will pick up more and I’ll guide you through that.\nThen it’s all yours. It’s a damn disco.\nIt’s gonna feel a bit like you’re in your own movie with a beginning, middle, and end.\nThe end being a ride from the dancing, shaking, etc into a soft landing back to the floor.\nThen we let any new information that appeared when we were dancing to REALLY land into the human system.\nThen we share and you feel different and leave back into the old world with something new.\nRULES:\nA recording of a past Medicine Disco Here ( https://soundcloud.com/visceralsound-1/medicine-disco-101723?si=e1b0955add4e4d7c9fc6ed9b95b0c21d&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing )\nPhysical Safety Rules:\nDon’t push anything. If there is a warning coming from a joint or muscle in the body listen to it and back off. This is not crossfit.\nLike literally if you felt like spending an hour on the floor lying down cuz that’s what made your body feel the best, do that.\nIf you need to stop dancing for any reason even if I’m yelling at the group to move big and fast, stop. Do nothing. The beats of the music are totally valuable just landing as healing pulses and vibrations.\nDo not touch anyone without permission and do not touch anyone when in movement (there is no contact improv here). Make sure you have the room to get really big with movement. Big moves are warmly welcome btw. Just don’t want to wack anyone and don’t want anyone to be afraid to also take up space.\nPermissions to:\nNot follow my creative movement cues on the mic\nNot talk to anyone\nTalk to someone\nNot dance the way anyone else is\nMirror the way someone else is dancing\nBe still\nMake faces\nBe totally not into my songs\nLeave and go home in the middle of the experience\nGo to the bathroom\nHave a smoke break\nGet a drink (not booze)\nNot have any intentions\nNot look at anyone\nLook at everyone\nTo be an amazing dancer and use what you got\nTo be a total mess of a dancer\nTo have the best most smiling time\nTo have a rough time\n\n
