Dansuality
Passionate about music and DJing, Joël took his first steps behind the turntables in his city's clubs,
at the heart of the 90s electronic music scene. Over the years, he explored a wide range of
styles, from Acid Jazz to breakbeat, from trip-hop to downtempo, including house, Nu Disco, and minimal techno.
However, he realized that these classifications didn't fully reflect his artistic vision:
a free and fluid approach where genres blend to create an immersive sonic experience.
Driven by this quest for exploration, Joël gradually distanced himself from the nightlife scene to deepen his relationship with
music and movement. He took piano lessons and moved towards more mindful practices.
His encounter with Conscious Dance Leadership marked a turning point, offering him a framework
more aligned with his aspirations.
In late 2017, he launched his first Ecstatic Dance and quickly achieved great success. Inspired by the
growing enthusiasm surrounding this practice, he broadened his horizons and began offering his events
in different regions of Switzerland, attracting an ever-increasing audience.
His experience as a DJ shines through in his sets, carefully crafted to guide dancers
through a rich and emotionally charged sonic mosaic. Mastering the subtle art of transitions, he composes
musical journeys that invite exploration of movement and a profound inner connection.
Always eager for innovation, he incorporates keyboard interludes into his performances, adding a live touch
that enriches the immersive dimension of his mixes.
After several years organizing and performing at ecstatic dances,
Joël felt an inner calling to delve deeper into the intimate connection between body, emotions, and music.
This journey led him to open a new space, an invitation to immerse oneself in conscious sensuality and
authentic connection with other participants.
Driven by a desire to create experiences where one feels fully alive,
he envisioned an environment conducive to deep self-awareness, awakening the senses, and a subtle connection with the group's energy.
To bring this vision to life, he surrounds himself with people of profound human qualities,
rich in expertise drawn from Tantra and other sensitive support practices, to guide
these spaces with delicacy, respect, and kindness.
This is how the first "Dansualité" was born in September 2022, in collaboration with Leela Stéphanie.
Since then, many participants have joined the adventure, each bringing their unique perspective,
while maintaining this shared intention: to create spaces for transformation where people dance, feel,
express themselves, and encounter others in all their authenticity.
Driven by his sensitivity and his desire to offer spaces for authentic expression, Joël is now
a key figure in free dance in French-speaking Switzerland, weaving a unique connection
between music and the moving body at each event.
Dansualities are spaces for dance and sensory exploration, where we come to reconnect… with ourselves, with others, with the life that flows through us. Suspended moments, between breath and shiver, where we let our bodies speak in their own language—that of feeling, emotion, the subtle desire to be fully alive. A place to slow down, to listen, to feel… and sometimes, to play. Here, it's not about "dancing well," but about letting what is present dance .
A heartbeat, a vibration, a musical caress that awakens a forgotten emotion. You are invited to dive into your body, to follow your rhythm, to savor what moves you with authenticity, tenderness, and curiosity.
Dansuality is also a game of presence , a way to meet without words: a gaze that dares to linger, a hand that brushes against you without imposing itself, a distance that becomes a connection. It's a sensuality that seeks nothing, but offers itself in the moment, with respect, with listening, with truth.
In a caring, safe, and non-judgmental environment, you will be able to: – Deeply feel your body, your energy, your inner world: Explore your sensuality as a quality of being, not an injunction. Connect with others in a clear and respectful space. Dance your vulnerability, your joy, your fire, your silence. Celebrate the richness of your facets, without having to hide any of them . No dance experience is necessary. Everything you bring is welcome: your presence, your impulses, your doubts, your desire to dare or simply to offer yourself a moment for yourself.
Dansuality is a journey. A weaving together of self and other. A space that is gentle and powerful, playful and sacred. A song of the body, a poem of the heart, a celebration of life.
For this occasion, I will be accompanied by Carole Beyeler for the guidance. Carole is a Tamalpa Life/Art Process practitioner and has been on the path of Tantra since 2014.
She will guide us during this session.
Through presence, body awareness, and movement, she will support us in connecting with ourselves and with each other.
Together, we will awaken our life energy, our creativity, and allow what is present within us to express itself through movement.
