Ecstatic Dance here is the ultimate dance night. The music is more controlled by the DJ and his mood/specialty than by the Ecstatic Dance format.
- Variety – form ethereal almost ‘old goth’ to club with an edge
- Rhythms varied with multiple peaks – whether you stayed for one hour or three, you got a full ride up and down the spectrum of movement
- Crowds stayed to the end – this says a lot as dancers found the energy to stay for the whole thing as it was a special night you knew was precious.
This space, the Oakland Sweets Ballroom holds a hundred plus dancers on the floor plus three (yes, count ‘em – 3!) altars honoring ‘Dance as temple and Body as Temple’. A nice space, a great venue, good vibes.
One of the musical differences between club music and music at Dance Jam, Barefoot Boogie, and Ecstatic Dance is "words". Yes, the same riffs and rhythms exist in both venues, but club music has the words which add a little "edge" to the mood. Knowa gets that edge selecting music with and without words to create a powerful mood mix that infects all with energy, love and movement.
Loudness Rating: 5 Optional: Uber
Bass for sure, but also has quieter beginning and end, if you usually wear them OK, if not OK you will need them for the fast middle.
