‌

Felippe and Holly are a dynamic duo, embodying a rich tapestry of cultural and artistic influences. 

Holly is known for her eclectic ecstatic dance sets, intuitivly weaving together sounds and rhythms inspired by diverse cultures. Drawing inspiration from her Celtic roots, Holly enjoys playing music that reflects her heritage, weaving its rich and evocative melodies into her sets.  She channels her artistic spirit and deep connection to music to inspire emotional expression, healing, and human connection. Growing up in South Wales, she was heavily inspired by the UK electronic music scene and began vinyl mixing at just 15 years old. Her passion for sound led her to London, where she studied music production and later audio engineering. Holly also lived in Brazil for 10 years, where she became part of a close-knit community and developed a deep appreciation for ceremonial music.

Felippe, born in Brazil and raised in Italy, brings a unique  blend of entrepreneurial spirit and diverse professional and cultural experiences to this partnership. His journey through diverse landscapes across South America, Europe, and North America has shaped his personal and professional paths. Driven by a quest for healing, self-discovery, and balance, Felippe has delved into psychedelics, rediscovered spirituality, and explored embodiment practices, including sports and conscious dance. His recent facilitator training with Dance the Medicine marks a significant step towards leading Ecstatic Dances.

Together, Felippe and Holly have built a family and traveled the world together, experiencing different cultures and practices to heal themselves. They now live in Bologna, Italy. 

Their shared journey through Dance the Medicine's programs has equipped them with complementary skills to lead Ecstatic Dances and the Ecstatic Grooves project. This joint endeavour allows them to channel and dissipate emotions and traumas through movement, aiming to aid others in navigating challenges. 

Through dance, they aspire to create a community in Bologna of diverse humans, free from judgment, where it is safe and sacred to be as you are, to connect, heal, express, and find joy together. Holly and Felippe are committed to fostering healing and connection through the power of dance and music.
