Spanning the range of the cultural spectrum, dance and movement rituals are used as a universal tool to spiritually elevate and connect to higher con - sciousness.

"YAH WAVE" reveals, through the medium of dance, the sweeping parallels found between com - munities geographically, culturally and religiously distinct from one another. Communities featured in the documentary include groups of indigenous, Is - lamic, Latin American and Taoist backgrounds, as well as LGBTQ+ and new age ecstatic groups.

Neither strictly a documentary nor a music video, "YAH WAVE" takes the form of a cross-genre, dia - logue-free, rhythmically guided meditation to serve as a metaphysical reﬂection of its diverse audience.
