I-OPENER invites you into a Sunday morning gathering with community to co-create a journey together… with a mix of teachers, DJs, artists, and musicians to weave a rich experience with our worldwide ecstatic dance community and local dance family.
And you! yes you! are an essential part of making this happen!!!
