Dancing Kirtan™ The Cutting Edge of Yoga.
A Kirtan is chanting in Sanskrit language in a call and response fashion. 

Kirtan, or Sankirtan, was popularized by the saint, Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who introduced the singing, and later the dancing, because when we are singing and/or dancing then we are not thinking; we get caught up in the music and/or dance. When the thought process becomes tranquil, the mantra can be properly heard and the sound vibration enters our consciousness to purify the heart. The Sanskrit word sravanam refers to focusing our hearing, and then the kirtanam will produce its powerful purificatory effect.

A Dancing Kirtan™ is much like a Kirtan where you go within but yet connect with others in a group through dance. It is a guided freeform dance, or dancing your bliss. The music is specially chosen from chant music to world bliss.  
Sacred music is woven in a danceable form brought together by DJ Mantra Ji. Sign up for any of my Dancing Kirtans™ or events here:

Mario "DJ Mantra-ji" Taddeo Biography:

DJ Mantra Ji‘s first religion was music. Surrounded by music at a young age, he was always listening or moving to music. When he found that he could move others with music it became his passion. DJ Mantra Ji has spun global grooves from the local Boston area to the West Coast. Burningman regular, he has spun at different venues throughout the event as well as opened for Karsh Kale. His DJ set list often includes a blend of world-spirit music that often flows with sacred sounds that evokes the feeling of India with danceable tracks. While yoga continues to expand and evolve, DJ Mantra Ji is on the cutting edge of yoga with the creation of The Dancing Kirtan and Music Meditations™. While practicing yoga for twenty years in different forms he has sought to combine yoga with DJ’ing, and strives to bring the inner bliss experience to those who join the dance floor.
