Sydney Benner is a fitness instructor, but with a twist. Sydney also has a true passion for EDM music, and is a festival attendee herself! I had the chance to work with her on 5 moves to get your body moving in quarantine, focused on, of course, your rave booty! Check out the moves in this article. 

HARD Summer is well known for dropping some of the best lineups for summer raves. We all know this, and we eagerly anticipate any of their lineup drops. This year, they’ve not disappointed! Here are 5 sets that made MY list of ones that I’ll be bouncing and grooving to all weekend long!

LiB is filled with lots of art. There’s Big Art which is all the giant sculptures and interactive pieces of art around the festival. There’s the Live Painting which is over 50 amazing artists creating beautiful pieces around the festival all weekend long, and then there’s the ArtClave, in its second year which offers an experiential art environment for attendees to participate on their own.

One of my favorite places at Lightning in a Bottle is the Learning Kitchen. This is always a good place to go and escape the heat, while learning (and eating) about delicious food. There’s a full list of classes, so this is another experiential part of LiB that I suggest reading up on beforehand so that you can add them to your app schedule!

Embellished tights first popped into my orbit in 2017. I stumbled upon an incredible Etsy site with beautifully decorated fishnet tights. My first thought was “I need these!” Unforuntaley, these gorgeous tights were being sold for $200-500 -- way out of my price range. They were incredible though and I decided to try and make my own pair.
