I want to thank you for your fabulous music and vibes today!  It has been months since I have done any dancing and it was really great to join the group today and move around.  Your music choices are excellent; so eclectic and with a natural progression that brings the energy up and then down very naturally. I will be much more regular in the coming weeks and months! Kate 🙂 Jelena! Oh thank you so, so much! I only wish I had known about dance divine earlier. Like years earlier! Dance Divine on Sunday was a transcendental experience for me. It was like coming home to myself. My body moved in ways that it never has before and I wasn’t sore or achey from the exertion the next day. I don’t think I have ever felt such air and light between my joints and organs and insides before! I couldn’t stop smiling all day. 🙂 I just had to mention that yours is so unique and truly special one of the best. I’d like to say, the best of its kind.  Your taste in music is amazing and the space you hold is true, light and love. Thank you so much for what you do.  I’m sure it’s not my heart alone that you’ve touched. Dance is how I truly connect to the higher power. And I am so grateful to have been able to share in your space. Leanne 🙂 I also want to take this opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate you, your dance class, your uplifting and warm emails to everyone. I do look forward to coming back to your amazing dance class in the new year, I have missed your classes tremendously. Please continue to share your wonderful insights, thoughts, and beauty of dance and movement. Jackie 🙂 It was a really powerful experience. I’m glad I went. I’ll definitely be going back! Ella 🙂 Thank you Jelena that play list yesterday was SO awesome. Yvonne 🙂 It was such a joy. I can’t wait to return. Thank you for your beautiful facilitation. Arielle 🙂 I just wanted to say again, THANK YOU!!! I’ve been working through some muck for a little while now and I feel SO alive and full of joy after dancing today. Thank you for your magic!! Love love love! Aliyah 🙂 I  wanted to send you a quick note expressing my appreciation of your dance class, the attention and care you give it, and I can honestly say there is no other place that I find to be so incredibly rich and soul-filling. Your class is a special place, a respite from our hurried lives, a rest from the wheels turning in the head, and as one of the people in the class put it (I think if I caught this correctly…) “felt like God was raining grace on me”. Thank YOU for continuing to bring us so much joy, Jelena. Jackie 🙂 I’m looking forward to this Sunday. I LOVE your DJ-ing!!! Emily 🙂 I thank you and the dedicated crew very much for creating and holding such amazing space.  My journeys on Sundays have been so rich and profound, leaving me speechless afterwards as if any words were inappropriate to capture my whole experience.  Today’s theme turned out to be a dialogue: between parts of myself, with the community of people, my mother, the earth, and the divine. Nao 🙂  Even though I seldom attend these last couple years your dance floor remains a beacon and a known remedy for my troubled mind/body/soul. Kendall 🙂 Just wanted to say thank you so much for today! I really needed the space you provided. As a mom it can be so hard to find time for myself and there is literally nothing I would rather do than dance so I am so glad to have a space to unravel myself in. I have only been a few times but it really does feel like such a spiritual experience almost like coming home to myself. Megan 🙂  It was fun to return to spontaneous dancing with others that was a return to a freedom of spirit for me. I appreciate your work. Leigh 🙂 Thanks so much! I had *such* a wonderful experience today. A much needed somatic release and a couple of big pieces of integration relating to some things I’ve been processing. I felt as though the space and community was very safe and inclusive and judgement-free. So thank you very much for cultivating that and making me feel so welcome. Rachel 🙂 Thank you for offering this form of dance! It so feeds my soul and connects me to myself!! I love to move and dance this way! Sue 🙂 Thank you for the wonderful dance and breath session last weekend. I am really really enjoying the opportunity to dance again and the breathwork was fantastic. Thank you again for all that you do. Toni 🙂 I’ve been coming to DD since your 10th anniversary session and am finding it such a key element in my personal practice…like an old friend. Tere 🙂 That it was a great experience, clearly a well established group and such great eccentric warm characters. I will visit again! Chad 🙂 I really liked coming to dance divine. At first I felt very vulnerable and insecure and as the music started flowing I got more comfortable. It was also a very emotional experience for me, I let out a lot of tears. I’m working through trauma and hurt and the movement was great. I was able to get out of my head and into my body. I’m totally coming back next week. R. 🙂 Awesome dance and vibe yesterday. Really felt like a party! Thank you for holding that space so consistently and stably for all these years! Andrea 🙂 Wow Jelena, I don’t know how to thank you adequately….words do not seem to be enough. Today was wonderful and I absolutely had no expectation that I would be given a certificate too!!! I saw so clearly today how much you are loved and appreciated by your tribe. I honour that. Big hugs, Mary 🙂 Missing your music and primordial medicines.  James 🙂 Thank you for welcoming me into this beautiful experience. It was hearty and magical. Mo 🙂 It was lovely to get back to your dance again. Thank you for providing a free space to open up to dancing again. Nadia 🙂 What a wonderful dance session today! Thank you so much for offering such an incredible event! We love it! Jayne 🙂 Thank you thank you for such a wonderful divine dancing on Sunday morning!! It was just what my heart and spirit was needing to feel! Beautiful warm great group of folks..I felt like I was transported back to the West Koots! Lyndia 🙂 It’s a lovely venue, great music and a really nice group atmosphere. Anna 🙂 Thank you for providing such a vibrant and healing atmosphere. Plus kudos on your music taste! Estephania 🙂 I had a wonderful first experience and I look forward to dancing with you soon. Claire 🙂 Thank u for the great music this morning. Becky 🙂 Thank you for the awesome Dance on Sunday. Incredibly special. Jen 🙂 I really loved the experience and appreciate what you have created. Kathleen 🙂 You will definitely see me again, I loved my experience last weekend. Lara 🙂 I enjoyed yesterday’s dance! What a warm and welcoming community! Thank you for creating such an amazing space for freedom, self expression, and joy. Josephine 🙂 The dance was great! Thank you so much. I?d forgotten how much I love to dance in a group space. Cristina 🙂 Thank you. It was so transformative, I moved so much, and I realized how desperately I have missed this in the deepest part of my soul… I wanted to share but couldn’t even make words at the end! Thank you, Jelena. I can’t tell you how important the space you hold for us is…I’m so glad you shared that you feel supported by your community. You deserve it – you give a lot. Mary 🙂 Hi Jelena,Thank you for providing a safe, nuturing and free moving space for me and others. Dancing helped me move me out of my head space, which I feel has kept me hostage for years and into my body. Nicola 🙂 Thank you and the whole dance divine team for hosting such an incredible experience. I’m looking forward to coming out and dancing many, many more times. Thank you very, very much. It was a very healing experience for me. Christine 🙂 Oh that feeling! Like I am floating on a rainbow cloud!! My heart feels so sweet and open, I am deeply grounded in my relaxed body and my spirit is connected to love, to the Divine/Source/God within and all around me! That’s how I feel after my conscious dance practice. I have to say, it feels best done at home, with my people at Dance Divine Vancouver. That’s my best and safest place to drop in and let loose; the place I release all the emotions and energies that might have accumulated in my body during the week that I didn’t have time acknowledge, process and let go. Authentic movement is potent medicine for the body, mind and soul! Melanie 🙂 Thanks Jelena. The dance was amazing! The energy and your set was so super deep and transforming. I felt like we were all shape shifting , moving through time, calling in angles, being blessed in huge embodied shared rhythmic love. Jen 🙂 Thanks so much for what you have provided at Dance Devine. It has been a terrific blessing, the settings are there, all I have to do is show and … DANCE!  Thank you, thank you. it has been the setting of uncountable blessings and changes for me, just want you to know that and thank you for seeing this vision for yourself and your people. I appreciate and can’t wait til… next Sunday. 🙂 I really enjoyed the dance! I think you did an amazing job with the music and creating an inspiring and free environment! I hope things with my work schedule will work out and I can come to more dances! Emily 🙂  Just a quick word to say thx for the great sets you consistently create and how much we diggin those stripped down drum rhythms! Clancy 🙂 Thank you so much – that was absolutely wonderful yesterday! I will try to work out some arrangements so maybe I can come once a month or so. It’s so good for body and soul, and I’ve really been missing that kind of experience in life. Monique 🙂 It was an amazing Sunday morning.  Thank you again for creating a special space.  Beautiful people having a beautiful time make a beautiful space! Taro 🙂 Really enjoyed it, I will be back! Kristen 🙂 Thank you so much for creating this amazing event. It felt so good to re-connect with my body and dance in such a free, non-judgemental space.

Vince G. 🙂 Thank you so much for providing the dance divine events. When i moved back to Vancouver in September I was nervous to not have the same access to dance classes as I would in Los Angeles. Your sets are a part of my weekly maintenance of my sanity and I am grateful. Koralee 🙂 Thanks for the magnificent dance this morning. Jenn O. 🙂 Dance Divine is a lifeline and love-line for so many.

I loved DD every time I came and hope to come again someday. May DD continue for decades to come. Eric B. 🙂 Thank you for your passion and time and effort. I sing your praises so often in my yoga classes. I feel we all need DD space to heal , to be. To learn how to be human again. This should be a space in the school system! A space to move.

Glynnis O. 🙂 DD is my all-time FAVORITE part of each week, I will definitely be planning visits to the city around it!

Dance is such an amazing tool. Thank you Jelena for continuing to host this for our community. Megan M. 🙂 I absolutely loved your music selections and I loved that there was no guidance, that people were allowed to remain in their own experience.

Already this community has enriched my life so much. I used to go out Friday night to dance and it always involved drinking and feeling disconnected by the end of the night in a bar. But now I go to bed earlier and wake up excited knowing I can dance my heart out and feel this enormous connection with Dance Divine. I feel healthier and more connected as a person. This is what has been missing in my life. Thank you so much. I am so grateful. Kate G.   🙂   I really enjoyed the session yesterday! Even though I do lots of dancing, its mostly structured and I never get to freely express myself that way which is exactly what my body and soul needs.

Moving outside under the stars was fabulous. John C.   🙂   What you do is amazing Jelena. Thank you and happy 6th Birthday! Tracy D.   🙂   Thank you for the wonderful music and space.

Well done, Jelena and thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Felicity G.   🙂   I am so grateful I found dance divine and I’ll be coming every sunday! Yay!! Alex.   🙂

Thank you so much!! Monika S.   🙂   I have been going to a 5 Rhythms class put on by Bettina on Commercial Dr. off and on for about 6 years. The days of her class don’t fit my schedule, so when I saw one of your flyers at her class I was excited to see that there was another place to dance in Vancouver and on a day that I could attend. I really enjoyed the experience. Thank you. I felt very comfortable even though it was my first time. The energy and vibe was very positive. I am going to bring a friend this Sunday. I am already looking forward to it. Thank you. Renee   🙂   Thanks for the wonderful experience I had at your Sun eve event. I was in Vancouver for a course and heard about Dance Divine so was very happy to come and experience this great activity. I love improvisatory movement and to have your wonderful music mix, that beautiful space and receptive group was a real treat. Thank you for the opportunity, if I’m ever in town I will stop in again. Regards, Dianne.   🙂   What a fabulous, vibrant, ecstatic energy we created…so thrilled to have been a part of it! Marie   🙂   Thanks for having such a beautiful space for us all to be on Easter morning. It was truly medicine for the soul. Keep doing what you are doing. Peace, Pamela   🙂   I am so very grateful for being able to take part in such a wonderful authentic movement community. Truly to cherish. I’ve been thinking a lot about this these days.. thank you always. L.   🙂   Thanks. And thanks for the great music today. Nice mix. Loved the roadhouse rock n roll. Dan   🙂   I love your music. And the dance energy you create. Bob N.   🙂   That was one of the most profound experiences I have had in my life. Especially the end when we were moving with each other like a free style contemporary dance style. Thank you so much and Happy Birthday. I will be back for sure. Heather   🙂   …the fullness of authentic and ecstatic dance that makes us dive into our souls. L.G.   🙂   Thank you so much for holding this space. My first time was Sunday, though I have been meaning to attend for may weeks. I used to dance the rhythm wave back East in Maine with Chris Werner who studied with Gabrielle Roth and it was an important part of my life. Joining the dance on Sunday felt like coming home. A.   🙂   Thanks so much for last weekend Jelena…it moved me in a deep DEEP way, as it always does…   🙂   My friend that I brought has been talking about it all week and how excited he is to come back this Sunday 🙂 I think it was the dub-step that got him right off the bat :p Nice choice!

Everyone is there to share their love of dance, music and creative expression. I love this class because of its free form nature which gives me the freedom to explore my creative energy and express it outwardly through movement.

I am still processing what got unravelled on Sunday and shedding layers of emotions during this time in my life. Thank you once again and looking forward to dancing on Sunday! Blessings, Michele   🙂  

 I love your event. It is one of the main if only thing I have missed about Vancouver! I am back in town now, for a while I think, and I am looking forward to rejoining the dance. See you tomorrow! Thank YOU! Andrea F.   🙂   Sometimes it takes seeing one woman living her life mission to wake up a thousand other souls. Thank you for birthing and offering Dance Divine to the world. It is my safe container for alchemical transformation. Where I awaken to my body and my heart. Where I heal. Where I experience radical acceptance. Where I learn to connect deeply. Where I realize I have a place I belong. And meanwhile, have all the fun. You embody the intentions of Dance Divine by who you are and how you live. Your magical sets, and the love and integrity with which you hold the space makes it almost impossible to miss a class. Finding my way to Dance Divine will remain as one of the biggest sources of gratitude for the rest of my life. You have changed my life. May yours unfold in ever expanding beauty. Nihan Sevinc   🙂   Thank you for the welcome and I had a wonderful time. Your taste in music is amazing! Every song was terrific. I will be back and look forward to it. Angelique Simard   🙂   THANK YOU for inviting me to participate in your DIVINE offerings!

A beautiful group of people. I will definitely be back! Val P.   🙂   Your Dance Divine is truly wonderful Jelena. It felt so good to dance again after being injured and you create such a warm space with great music and beautiful energy in the room and the people participating. See you Sunday, Margot W.   🙂   I enjoyed dancing on Sunday and despite and/or perhaps because of blistered toes and complaining calves I plan to attend more in future and spread the word to my friends. Thank you for putting these together. Simply beautiful! Myomi   🙂Just wanted to share how inspired I was by your set of music (yet again) and also in reading your intentions which resonate so much with my own philosophy in life… such a beautiful way to start the week. Shari L.   🙂   Know that even though I don’t get there as often anymore, Dance Divine is still part of my soul’s home. Thank you for that and for simply being you. Bonnie Thompson   🙂   I have such an appreciation for your incredible commitment and dedication in creating DD. You have created an incredibly beautiful, sacred and special container where people are able to connect within themselves and with others. DD is a beholden gem within our community. It is such a gift. Christina Niven   🙂   Thank you so much for sharing this incredible gift of beauty, dance, creative and spiritual exploration!! The space you created was very comfortable and accepting and allowed me to access exactly what I needed to – which I am guessing many others feel as well. What a journey I went through throughout the dance that I had no idea was possible. I started with fun, limitless creative self-expression and movement – so much joy and flowy movement – to experiencing pain and anger that I had never acknowledged within myself. The safe space allowed me to feel comfortable to cry, make noises, and flail as much as I needed, and then…. The peace after the storm. Woohoo! Your gift is incredible and I thank you so much for getting in touch with your true self and holding the bravery to share it with the world! Rock on woman! Cassandra.   🙂   What a lovely space of healing you are offering our community 🙂 I’m grateful. I really appreciated my time with you all on Sunday…Shari L.   🙂  

It is not often I am moved so deeply. Your music is exquisite! The song selections, the smooth transitions. What a magical experience. You have really developed your craft! What a beautiful piece of work! Thank you for sending it to me! Lovingly, Brad Schwann   🙂   Thank you for the party! It was amazing and very open hearted..an awesome vibration to start the year. Ashar   🙂   … just got to say it… I’ve been playing your sample sets for the past two days… practically non-stop… Jelena, you have such amazing gift! The way you put your sets together is just… so intuitive and intimate… and opening… I’m truly… ecstatic…:) Just really want to say it to you. THANK YOU!!! Kristina B.   🙂   Thank you again for sharing your passion these past 5 years. I am a better person because of dance and I feel much gratitude for you and your help in that journey. Andre    🙂   Just a quick note to say that today’s playlist was probably one of my favourites of all time. So much gratitude for the love and thoughtfulness you put into it. Lindsay R.   🙂   The music was AWESOME! There was one song that just got me…IT GOT ME!! Amber Rose Lee   🙂   Sublime as always. Peter Francis   🙂   I really enjoyed the experience and I look forward to dance at your sacred dance. Fabrice   🙂   I am very grateful to have found Divine dance, my cells have been very happy since. I woke up feeling sore but in the best way. Zack   🙂   I had a lot of fun and I will be back for sure sometime soon. I really enjoyed the music, lots of tunes I’ve never heard before. Altogether I felt liberated. And thanks for bringing this healing to our community. Felix   🙂   It was such a good time and I am definitely interested to join you more often. It is so liberating and good for the soul. See you next Monday! Mareike   🙂   I love seeing our intentional dance community growing and I love the many soulful ways that you give witness to sacred, precious elements of our dancing, either in person or via your emails. This is truly one of the best foods that you have to offer to this hungry world and you are inspiring me to nurture, grow and harvest more of my best offerings. Thanks again, dance friend, James Priestly   🙂   Just a quick comment, I like the way there are no rules in your class. You kind of just let everybody get on with how they want to express themselves and you don’t ‘interfere’. That’s my favourite thing about your class and could be one of the reasons why it is so successful. Alan   🙂   Your dance is the best in town because of your amazing music, gorgeous space, and generous freedom given to all to express as they like with no interference. It has allowed me the space to find my own movement in the way that I choose to express it within a community of fantastic dancers. Maggie Reagh   🙂   I love to dance. I have come to Sunday morning classes a few times. I find the space, music, and energy amazing. I feel that each person comes to dance their own dance, and I come to cleanse and release and celebrate. J.M.   🙂   Thank you for providing that kind of atmosphere for dancing… the music selection was so beautiful. I will be back! Luciane Perez   🙂   Thank you again for creating such a lovely space, and gathering of such lovely people.. such a treat!

I look forward to doing it again. Such beautiful people! Thanks again, Tieg M.   🙂   Last Sunday was amazing.

So much connection. You’re doing such a great job in bringing everyone together. I was so happy for your successful classes!!! Alan   🙂   It was soooooooooooooo fun on Sunday.

It means so much to me & to all of us. Much Love, Geraldine   🙂   Looking forward to dancing to your awesome beats very soon. Tracy Dixon   🙂   Jelena Marda is a master artist at weaving musical gems that move the soul into free dance. I have traveled far only to discover her brilliant mixes, treasures so close to home! I say again and again that is one the best mixers ever! Minke de Vos   🙂      🙂   Omg!!! So glad i came to your workshop! There is just so much power in this dance/adventure/movement/shift whatever it’s called. Dance alone doesn’t encompass it all, although that is enough. It just feels like so much more than that. Love how you walked us through what a dance looks like. Sara W.   🙂   Thank you for an incredible workshop! Annalise S.   🙂   It was an awesome first experience, I’m looking forward to attending more. Ali J.   🙂   What an amazing workshop!

That room fills me up, and my heart is full. What a feeling to be safe. What a feeling to be loved for your authentic self. When I’m in that room, I am gratitude,.

I try to stop in when ever I’m in town. Aum Song   🙂   I had a fantastic experience at Sunday’s dance – I’m hoping to make it to next Monday’s session with a friend in tow. Lisa   🙂   Thank you!

But really, your space (that you create) and music are the best. Anne H.   🙂   The Dance Divine community gathered yesterday to grieve a friend and fellow dancer who died last week.

The most gorgeous altar and musical set – Michael would have loved it. Daniella Weber   🙂   Absolutely beautiful ceremony and honouring of our dear heart, Michael. Thank you for the profoundly healing space that you held us in and to every single being who showed up to grieve and give thanks to such a brilliant soul. Our dance together today was magic. Samaya Halliday   🙂   So grateful to Jelena for creating and holding that space, and for your thoughtful and careful words at the start. And so honoured to share the floor with everyone and to witness so much courage and heart and grief and praise today. Diane Haynes   🙂   Jelena, thank you, thank you… I appreciate you so… this community is dear to my heart in a way I can’t describe in words. Star Gazer   🙂   Jelena, thank you for being the inspiration that you are and for holding the DD tribe with such grace and honesty.

You have created a very sacred  space I look forward to each class! Leanne   🙂   Thank you Jelena Marda for creating healing communities for us to heal our pains, moving from chaos to lyrical and finally stillness, where we celebrate our joy! Much gratitude, Maggie Reagh   🙂   I had been searching for a dance experience that was more fulfilling than that of my formal dance training which I felt was constricting in many ways despite the benefits of movement. Although initially I felt uncertain and cautious about trying a form of dance that was more authentic, liberating, spiritual and free, I knew I had to try it. For me it is so healing in many ways, therapeutic, honouring of myself and empowering. I have been surprised at how much of a growth experience it has been for me. Like the work with the horses, it is hard to put into words but it is far more meaningful and important then I would have ever imagined. What I feel Dance Divine offers is a place to be real, authentic, accepted, whole, creative, in the moment and grateful. What I believe is that people are looking for connection a place to belong and feel okay…this is what DD offers. Carla Webb   🙂   You are a sweet DJ! Sash   🙂   Thank you so much for being so welcoming and for creating such a majestic space for free expression. Danny and Anna   🙂   I wanted to say how fantastically free I felt during and after the ecstatic free-style dance session, what a beautiful movement you are continuing! Thank you 🙂 See you again! Fiona K.   🙂   I am blessed to have a place to feel and express. Thank you for your big heart and in making dance divine possible. Bob Nayme   🙂   Thanks Jelena. I had such a great time at your class. I am sure you will see me back again! Joel   🙂   Thank you very VERY much for the dance.  I’ll be back again. What a gift to be in that space with so many kindred souls dancing their hearts out…Thank you for creating such a transformative space. It really help me move some things and it was nice to carry that empowerment to the rest of the evening. It seems like such a great way to bring together women of all ages and from many place in the city. Beautiful. Leanna   🙂   I am mesmerized by the Beauty of Dance Divine. I arrived in Vancouver 10 days ago, and came for the first time last night. I feel so grateful for such a Heart Opening experience. Thanks to you Jelena and all the participants. Victoria   🙂   I wanted to let you know that Sunday’s music was really amazing! Coming home and gratitude themes are always perfect songs and it hit home for me, somehow just what I needed. I’ve been to Toronto for ecstatic dancing (just came back) and while they have a great scene, they lack in their music transition which takes me out of my flow. There is no other DJ like you! Thank you for your awesome mixing. Gratitude to you my DJ Goddess. Love to you! Marie Tran   🙂   It was incredible – I really connected deeply. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to go again this weekend. Deborah   🙂   Hi Jelena, Just wanted to thank you for an incredible session last Sunday. I know that it is entirely a matter of personal taste but I find it really difficult to dance when music is heavy on lyrics explaining to me what to feel. Last Sunday the music you played was intensely emotional with almost no lyrics in it and my ego had no other option than to shut up and let my soul speak through my body. There was no place for intellectual discourse, only place for presence. By the end of the session, full of silence and intense presence, “calling all angels” was a powerful act of magic. I know that my duty is to dance the dance that is happening at any given time but dancing to that music, this last Sunday was not only easy, but powerfully ecstatic; it was so beautifully non-intrusive that it gave me a lot of room to listen inside myself. Thank you. Hugo   🙂   I wanted to let you know I really enjoyed the dance on Sunday evening…I noticed that everybody were at different levels and ability and style which let me relax at this event and I had enjoyed myself and with everyone else who was there.. thank you  Dance Divine Vancouver and to you jelena!!!! John   🙂   I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed tonight’s DD. Thank you so much for creating a second (and third, on Fridays) opportunity for us to get into divine flow… Your efforts & energy to create this sacred space, with all its components, is deeply appreciated. Love, love, Ute Kramer   🙂
