“Alvin, just wanted to express to you how life altering your Gaga class was for me … I spend my days moving people so I’m very content in my body … on Saturday you opened up a door to unstructured movement which totally blew my mind … you are amazing a what you do and the world needs much more Alvin ❤️”

- David Newton, Movement Specialist

"I came to Berlin for the Garbicz festival. 2 days after it over, I was walking around Berlin by myself. The weather was beautiful, the city blooming. When in Tempelhof park, I heard music away, couldn't see where it came from. Kept going, until I saw a group of people dancing together. Music was nice, energy was good. Decided to stay for a bit. Now I'm dancing as well, someone is talking on the microphone, words sweet to the ear. Something between meditation and ecstatic dancing. The sun was red and the moon was full. What a beautiful moment. A moment of joy, of liberation, of life"

"I was blown away by the workshop, because I never find any comparable space where opening up will be celebrated like in these sessions. Not only dancing, energy exchange and freedom. It also gives a serotonin boost. Alvin's sessions should be labeled under "culture" and be founded by the state in order to give people back their will to live. I am dancing on the streets for many years now and no street musician ever managed to get close to the effect his workshops had on me, since Alvin is great at encouraging others to open up and listen into their own feelings and mindsets.

"For me Dose of Pleasure is a private and political space at the same time. I met Alvin as a Gaga teacher a few years ago and immediately gravitated to his work. I learned how to get in touch with my body, how to express, how to let go, how to hold tight. It was a very important journey for me since I am a sensual person and got a lot empowerment out of it. With the practice of Dose of Pleasure I felt that this experience was taken to another level. New was the immense pleasure I experienced through music and movement while participating. Every dose is a highly joyful experience, that kind of joy I felt as a kid, not knowing where to go with all the smiles in the body. Having this in mind, facing all the shit we manifest in the body got a lot easier for me. I can now embrace it and take it with me to the dancefloor, dancing it out, dancing it in, whatever feels right. I can’t emphasis enough what that means to me.

In addition to that, Dose of Pleasure sets a statement on how we want to live with each other in this world. The fact that you can liberate others by liberating yourself was mind-blowing to me. Every session shows it: in such a short period of time all those dancers show up, they open up they express themselves, they are vulnerable and they hold each other. When I go home I feel in touch with the other dancers, I feel in touch with Berlin and in touch with the earth even though I have sometimes spoken no word."

“I always loved to dance, but with Dose of Pleasure I felt so much more invited than ever to truly be myself, not to be suitable. Two years ago, I started to explore sexological body-work processes until I discovered gaga through Alvin’s classes. Quickly, I was already able to appreciate his work, having the impression I was having sex with the room, with the air or something… In the 2020’s Spring lockdown, I realized that the most awful thing was that I could no longer dance, but that changed when Alvin started Dose of Pleasure and later was able to run his sessions IRL, in Berlin parks. To me, these sessions became a medicine, for they are more than just dancing; Alvin’s guidance and use of words directly connects me with the sexual flow in the body, life stream, my laugh… It’s awakening all the unspoken layers in ourselves, our thoughts, and our emotions.”

- Greta, student of “Dose of Pleasure”

“By practicing Dose of Pleasure I’m imprinting in my body the concept of going for what feels good. Because of low self-esteem, I too often ended up going for big compromises that left me unrealized. In the process of unapologetically embracing my intuition, Dose of pleasure is helping me embody this change of perspective. By going 100% for MY groove I’m telling myself I’m allowed to choose what feels good and that I know how to do it. Moreover, I found in Dose of pleasure a community that shares the same open-minded approach and where my energy is not just accepted but also celebrated.”

- Nicoló, student of “Dose of Pleasure”

“The meeting with Alvin and Dose of Pleasure literally changed my life in many ways. I discovered my groove, I connected to my inner power, I learned to let go, I learned how to let my animal out. Then, of course, the connection to my body, which is now becoming a main tool of expression for me as an artist and the connection to my spirituality. Through DOP I became connected to my Spirit and from there I started a beautiful healing journey. These are just some highlights on a personal level, but also on a social level, I feel that I am belonging to a big family, to a tribe of pleasure, to a community of people that are willing to awaken, that believe in soul connections. That feeling when we all groove as one, when we feel the heart-to-heart connection, when we feel like screaming of joy while the sweat is running down the body – that is the moment!”

- Cristina, student of “Dose of Pleasure”

“I would love to share my feedback about the workshop "Passion, Play and Pleasure". It was a strong, deep and at the same time very light experience. Layers by leyers I was going through the things that stuck in my mind and body until I reach the point where my movement was like something alive, feeded by the passion from my core. I was experiencing how my improvisation born a story in my body and movement become a poetry. This is such a pleasure feelings, in a moment of here and now. I tasted all of it. Thank you very much, Alvin! I think if everyone on Earth would try it, we would have much better world!!!”

- Matilda, student of “Passion, Play & Pleasure”

“Alvin’s program has allowed me to return to and rekindle my own dance practice. More importantly it has created a space for embodied connection even through the distances that separate us. I am so grateful for the virtual spaces Alvin nurtures, offering us a safe and caring place to explore how we can come back home into our bodies and share in our collective groove.”

- Miggy, current member of Move with Alvin: Monthly Membership Program Online

“Thank you so much Alvin for all your classes, every time is really interesting to explore things leading by your energy. Dose of pleasure sessions share lot of good vibes, and help to be ever better. News sessions with focus in chakra are really rewarding, because we can consciently put a focus, an internal axis of reflection to explore through dance. Everytime is like a dancing meditation, i never find this kind of feeling before, this mix of your experiences, is really rich and nourishing.

I particulary really love your speeches before it can connect to the dancing session and bring us a personnal reflexion also, everytime is doing with lot of love and sincerity, and honestly, eachtime I'm pleasantly surprise because your moment reflexion is linked with what i looking for and it bring me that i need, to help me to move forward, So, really thank you for that, i want to spread my gratitude with you. I want to thanks you because we are lucky to share your class, thank you for all you give and for your wonderfull energy! “

“Thank you so much for class today, Alvin. That was my first Gaga class and I really needed to just move and get my blood flowing and you completely succeeded in inspiring me to do so. Thank you for your energy and leadership.”

- Ann, Gaga Student
