About this workshop

A workshop by Christophe, a lover of dance and underground life, on Saturday June 24, 2023 at the Origine 3 festival — on how music can connect us with our spirituality.

Beyond the rules of conduct, here is a practical and enjoyable summary of what makes up the essence of the "Spirit of Underground Living" — a set of popular good-behaviour propositions for partying right.

The 20 Values — Spirit Of Underground Living
  1. 01
    The Smile

    Smile, forgive, prevent.

  2. 02
    Personal Safety

    Everyone has the right to their own personal space — physical and mental — as well as their health and freedom of spirit, with mutual respect.

  3. 03
    The Tribe

    We ARE a family. Love your family.

  4. 04
    Kindness

    The people welcoming you live by a philosophy of kindness and wish to receive you as family.

  5. 05
    The Body System

    Together, let's look out for one another, with a focus on abuse prevention. Keep An Eye On Your Friends.

  6. 06
    Priority

    The dance floor is SACRED. Respect the sacred zone.

  7. 07
    Dance

    Like you, we love to dance, play and laugh with others. The floor is for movement. If you're not dancing, keep moving!

  8. 08
    Soft Touch

    The crowd includes YOU, ME, THEM… it's US! We NEVER push dancers. We smile, apologize, and go gentle.

  9. 09
    No cell phone on the dance floor

    That's it!

  10. 10
    Leave no trace

    For safety, empty bottles and waste go in the bin — not on the dance floor.

  11. 11
    Never Block the Floor

    Bags go in the cloakroom.

  12. 12
    Free zone of drama

    Nothing should ever warrant violence. If you have major life problems to resolve, this may not be the place.

  13. 13
    Generosity

    Abundance is a law of the Universe for those who know how to appreciate and give back.

  14. 14
    Listening

    You think you're hilarious interrupting others with inappropriate jokes or comments? Think again.

  15. 15
    Let it go

    We encourage an open, curious mind — be generous, empathetic, and have fun. That's what we're here for.

  16. 16
    Let it flow

    Don't you feel that magical energy flowing through your body and consciousness when you talk and laugh?

  17. 17
    Let it be

    Don't just be a spectator — BE PART OF THE SHOW.

  18. 18
    One Love

    You, Us, Them, YOU! You are not alone. We are ONE. One Love. One S.O.U.L.

  19. 19
    The Source

    Yes, you ARE the source too. We are all connected to a Greater Whole, larger than ourselves, encompassing infinity — we embrace it with humility and gratitude.

  20. 20
    Life

    It's magical.
