2024-09-17 19:00 (America/New_York) | Owenwood Farm & Neighborhood Space, 1451 John West Rd, Dallas, TX, 75228, United States
Join us in welcoming international movement teacher + founder of JourneyDance®, for EMBODY: Feel, Heal & Transform.
Transformation and change must happen in the body, not just the mind. Learning to tend to your body, emotions, and energetic vibration is essential for living a vibrant life. Using the JourneyDance™ process, we become deeply embodied, enabling us to listen to our heart’s callings and align with our deepest knowing.
Join Toni as she leads you into embodied presence, emotional empowerment, and inner states of joy. This journey will guide you out of old patterns and into a new story, moving forward in your personal evolution. Our emotions are our power, each holding a lesson for us. By learning to feel and express, we move stuck energy and open to ﬂow and freedom.
We move with what needs to be released, letting go of the past and overlaying new cellular patterns. Turning our angst into art, we ignite a new passion for life. By releasing judgment and embracing our sensual soul, we step into a new narrative of honest self-love, pronounced joy, and learn to connect more deeply with ourselves and others.
Join us to expand your emotional bandwidth, discover your emotional empowerment, and increase your capacity to experience love, joy, and wholeness! When you nurture yourself through movement, expression, ritual, and deep connection, you remember who you truly are.
No experience required, all bodies + voices are welcome.

Paella y Pasion
2024-09-20 18:00 | Bath House Cultural Center, 521 E. Lawther Dr, Dallas, TX, 75218, United States
Paella y Pasion has become a popular part of the organization’s culturally rich Festival. That is one reason Flamenco Fever now plans to move this crowd-pleasing, family-friendly event to spring, presenting it as a stand-alone event to expand the organization’s public visibility, provide additional flamenco-focused performance opportunities, and build its audience and base of financial support.
Paella y Pasion is already a proven way to bridge the divide between traditional flamenco performances in formal venues and economically diverse local audiences who customarily have limited or no access to such venues. Producing Paella y Passion each spring will provide another public event for local individuals and groups to perform for their families, friends, community members and existing flamenco aficionados as well as raise general public awareness about the art of flamenco and the role of Flamenco Fever in the Metroplex’s cultural landscape.
As Paella y Pasion has as part of the fall festival, a spring event will provide beginning flamenco dancers, singers and guitarists the relaxed atmosphere and supportive public outdoor environment they require to let their talents shine, and more experienced students will get to meet and mentor newcomers to the flamenco arts.
For $20 per person, audience members may also purchase a bowl of paella, which comes with a flower, a Spanish-themed polka-dot scarf or a fan – which further immerse them in the flamenco experience. Audience members are encouraged to bring a chair or blanket for comfort and to support the participation of families that span multiple generations.
