Ecstatic Dance is a creative expression form where participants become Art. No dance experience is needed, this is meant to be a playful, joyful experience.
As participants are immersed into a range of musical landscapes; naturally self expressive movements emerge from our center (or toes, fingers, legs and elbows). This is a place where there is no need for thinking, planning, or following other people. It is for you to follow your own heart and mind.
We do uphold “safe space agreements” to ensure everyone feels empowered to their own space and body. But there are no right or wrong ways to dance and express yourself. You have the freedom to take up as much or little space as you feel in each moment. The mindset and atmosphere of the people who attend is open, accepting and encouraging towards each other’s and any new dancers who arrive.
This is a safe space for you to break your habitual routines and connect with a community of well intended humans. If you have never attended or tried this before, you're welcome, I can assure you that taking the first step can be the hardest step and that ease will follow. We have a high quality sound system to bring the sound deep within.
We end each night with an optional community sharing circle, where you have the opportunity to listen to those who choose to share. And contribute your own experience if you will.
Hope to see you there!
