About Guest DJ Karen Funshine
Karen Funshine (Karen Smith) has been dancing since age 3, with movement as her lifelong ally. A veteran raver & EDM enthusiast, she was delighted to discover 5Rhythms and ecstatic dance 10 years ago in Austin - a sober and judgment-free space to get wild & free. She’s since facilitated many women’s conscious dance circles and a vibrant live-instrument dance - weaving music and somatic movement to alchemize emotion, open the heart, and awaken joy. Recently relocated to Asheville, Karen is honored to share her passion and playfulness with her beautiful new community through the universal language of music and dance.~~~
