Alec has been a dedicated facilitator with EmbodyDance since 2009, bringing over 15 years of passion and experience to the community. His journey as a DJ began during a unique period when EmbodyDance offered three dances a week, and he has been an integral part of the collective ever since. Alec’s love for music and movement fuels his commitment to creating transformative dance experiences for others.

Known for his eclectic style, Alec curates waves that guide dancers on a journey through the body and soul. His musical selections move from grounding rhythms that connect with the Earth, to beats that ignite the hips and energize the whole body, and finally to a place of release and return. Each wave is an invitation for dancers to explore their own unique movement while being held in the collective energy of the space.

Alec’s connection to ecstatic dance runs deep, rooted in a profound moment at a fire circle in the Gila National Forest during a Rainbow Gathering in 1978. There, in the embrace of nature and anonymity, he discovered the freedom to dance in any way he wanted—a freedom he continues to embody and inspire in others. For Alec, ecstatic dance is about letting the music move you, surrendering to the flow, and allowing yourself to be fully present in the moment.

Alec’s sets are as diverse as his influences, featuring everything from melodic electric guitar to psychedelic sounds that span space, time, and geography. With each set, he creates a sound journey that encourages dancers to go inward, connect with their authentic movement, and celebrate the shared magic of the dance floor.
