Ana Bee has been a vital part of the EmbodyDance community since 2004, first as a dedicated dancer and, since 2011, as a skilled facilitator. Her journey to becoming a DJ was an immersive and intentional process, taking nearly two years of apprenticing step by step to master the art of guiding others through the transformative practice of ecstatic dance.

Ana’s style is rooted in crafting intentional journeys through music. She carefully curates each set, selecting inspiring new releases and weaving them into a wave that begins with an inward exploration, guiding dancers into their internal reality. From there, her sets gradually unfold into outward expressions of clarified energy, inviting dancers to fully embody their experience. Her goal is to leave dancers feeling both exhausted and warmly fulfilled by an evening well played.

One pivotal moment in Ana’s dance journey came in 2018 when the National Ecstatic Dance Bus Tour visited Santa Fe. The experience inspired her to “get on the bus,” joining a three-week road trip that connected her with ecstatic dance communities across the country. It was, as Ana describes, the best road trip of her life and a profound reminder of the power of dance to unite and inspire.

Ana’s musical selections are guided by their danceability and instrumental depth. She loves music that offers endless possibilities—simple, flowing, offbeat, or still—and occasionally throws in a playful track to encourage pure, joyful self-expression.

Through her facilitation, Ana brings years of experience, passion, and a deep love for the dance. She invites each dancer to step into their truth, connect with their energy, and celebrate the beauty of movement in community.
