Meghan Quinn joined EmbodyDance as a DJ in Winter Solstice 2024, bringing with her years of experience as a guest DJ for ecstatic dances in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where she lived for two decades. Meghan’s journey with ecstatic dance began in 2009, and since then, it has become a central thread in her life—both as a dancer and as a creator of transformative musical journeys.

For Meghan, dance is a gateway to the soul. She describes connecting with her ever-evolving Dancer Self as one of life’s richest experiences, a practice that fuels her passion for creating waves. Crafting dance waves and themed journeys is an extension of her artistry—a way to channel her creative energy into something deeply meaningful. With each wave she curates, Meghan offers a ceremonial journey that invites dancers to explore the beauty, longings, and mysteries of life. Her hope is to inspire movement, contemplation, and connection to the sacredness of this multi-faceted human experience.

Meghan’s process for creating waves is a labor of love, filled with listening, organizing, and refining. She listens daily, curating playlists that align with her vision and bring new dimensions to her sets. Each wave is born through this creative process—a blend of fun, vulnerability, and deep intention.

A peak moment in Meghan’s dance journey came during a wave at Eugene’s Coalescence Ecstatic Dance. Dancing with a friend, she experienced an altered state of unity, love, and perfection—a profound reminder of the limitless possibilities that can emerge from music, community, and movement.

Meghan’s musical style reflects her love of soul-stirring sounds, including the ethereal magic of Dead Can Dance and downtempo electronic music infused with organic instruments. Her waves are an invitation to move, reflect, and remember the sacredness of life.
