BE FREE - DANCE HOW YOU WANT - NO JUDGEMENT

Entering the space

Ambient music will be playing softly and you may do some light stretching to prepare the body's transition into a Freeform dance journey.
At the end of the set we close with a sound healing meditation to complete the experience.

These core guidelines are what keeps the ecstatic dance floor an intentional, sacred, and safe space for you to dive deep into the experience.

BASIC TENENTS OF ECSTATIC DANCE

Ecstatic Dance is FreeForm movement—without verbal guidance—to dance in whatever ways feel good to you. Dancing solo or with partners is equally welcome.

Ecstatic Dance is an intentional musical journey mixed by a live DJ.

Each dance includes a period of gentle warm-up, peaks of ecstatic intensity, and resolves into peaceful stillness.

The music of Ecstatic Dance is characterized by the meeting of Conscious Dance with various Electronic, Mantra and World Music Genres.

Ecstatic Dance is held in an inspiring temple-like space with enough room for a critical mass of people (50-100).

Ecstatic Dance seeks to build community connection in many ways, including circling together at the closing of the dance.

Ecstatic Dance is held to support a safe, healthy, clear-minded space (No alcohol or illegal drugs; everyone is expected to move with awareness & care & respect; no scents; no shoes except as needed for medical reasons).

Ecstatic Dance is held free of social distractions (no conversations, no cell phones, no photography, no videos).
