You can go to a hundred clubs in Miami with half-naked party people sweating it out to a world-class DJ.
But last night, the Standard flipped the script on that template, hosting a free, life-affirming meditative journey led by Donna D'Cruz on the (CDJ) wheels of steel in the hotel's hamam spa.
D'Cruz is not only a globetrotting party girl but also the leader of musical therapy sessions at super-high-end Phoenix drug rehab centers as well as a fund-raiser for parolees.
Guests were led to a third-floor terrace, where a bowl of cucumber water greeted them.
Some of them walked around in bathrobes.They picked up gift bags and smiled.Then they were led into the hamam. It's like a sauna. In Turkish.
They relaxed and waited for the DJ.There was a bunch of candles burning in the middle of the room.There was a tub if you wanted to take a bath.
Then D'Cruz entered the room and hit the decks.She soothingly repeated Zen quotes and played new-age music.She looked like she was having a good time.A couple of hours later, it was over, and people thanked her and told her how much they loved the experience.
It must be tough to be a DJ.
