Amanda Mavar Schmidt is the creator of Blist Music, blending her passion for movement, music, and conscious dance. With a background in yoga practicing, studying, and teaching. Amanda naturally gravitated toward the somatic experience of ecstatic dance. The freedom of conscious movement resonated deeply with her, leading her on a journey across the world to explore dance gatherings, festivals, and retreats.

 

Her travels have taken her to immersive experiences in yoga, meditation, breathwork, and other healing modalities, all in pursuit of deeper self-discovery. After countless transformative moments on the dance floor, Amanda felt called to step behind the decks and create her own sonic journeys as a DJ.

She has been studying under talented producers Savej, HABITAAT, Chmurra, and Geometrae, refining her sound and creative expression. She also credits her rapid growth to her mentor and friend Tribu, one of the key figures who helped establish Costa Ricans thriving dance community the very place where Amanda first fell in love with ecstatic dance and conscious movement culture.

 

 Amanda is deeply passionate about building community and creating spaces where people can connect, heal, and express themselves freely. She believes in the power of movement and music to bring people together, fostering a sense of belonging and shared experience.

 

Since then, she has become a sought-after DJ within the ecstatic dance scene, playing for communities along the Gulf South, including Gulf Coast Ecstatic Dance, Pensacola Ecstatic Dance, Asheville Movement Collective, and Mandala Springs. She also curates beachside ecstatic dance experiences in Costa Rica, Destin, and Ocean Springs, weaving together rhythm and connection to cultivate meaningful shared experiences.

 

For the past two years, Amanda has been honored to DJ at Bliss Burn, a transformational gathering that merges art, music, and movement in a deeply immersive experience.

 

Her silent disco setup allows her to bring the magic of dance anywhere creating high-vibe, immersive experiences free from noise restrictions, where dancers can fully surrender to the music and movement.
