An all-day dance party kicked off at daybreak at the Downtown Pedestrian Mall.

Arkhe Collective is a collaboration of movement and mindfulness facilitators based in St. John’s—they’re coming together with The Natural Vibe and St. John’s Pride to host a day of conscious dancing. It all started off with a morning rave.

Laura-Beth Power, who is with Arkhe Collective, says their events over the next while are all taking place outdoors at various locations in metro including a street party downtown St. John’s this afternoon.

She says the event gives people a chance to express themselves through authentic movement. She adds that the concert-dance scene in St. John’s is growing but having a full day of events gives people a way to become involved.

The event wraps up with Happy Hour starting at 5:30 downtown.
