MOON LAB: SPINNING DANCE & WHIRLING
Friday, November 13 · 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM · Tribeca
An evening of circular movement and trance — spinning as a pathway to release and healing. The night weaves together two ancient practices: Southern Italian spinning dance and Sufi whirling, both rooted in the sacred geometry of turning.
Alessandra Belloni leads the opening spinning ritual, drawing on the traditional Southern Italian practice. Juliet Rania guides the closing Sufi whirling meditation — a movement practice with deep roots in Islamic mysticism and Anatolian tradition. Katie Cercone opens the evening with an astrological reading, setting the energetic frame around Venus and Mercury stations.
Expect three hours of continuous movement in a small room. Wear white and red if you have it. Tea will be served; avoid eating a heavy meal beforehand. The space is intimate and meditative — this is not a performance but a participatory ritual.
