About Dancing
Throughout human history, people have practiced some form of dance as a way of altering one’s consciousness and connecting with nature, other, and Self. The modern day movement of ecstatic dance brings us back to these ancient practices
WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?
Ecstatic dance is a free-form dance movement inspired and led by carefully crafted music with the intention of creating a healing journey. The music follows a wave form, starting slow, moving to a peak, and descending into stillness. No dance experience or partner is necessary or needed. On one hand it’s a perfect outlet for those who think they “can’t dance” because they were taught that to “know” how to dance is to move in a certain way. On the other hand it is a luscious playground for experienced movers and dancers craving for a free space to express amongst community.
Ecstatic dance is an environment WITHOUT observers, judgements, posturing, attitudes, conversations, shoes, alcohol, fragrances or smoke. A space where everyone can feel safe to be spontaneous, try new things and push their edges. This is the dance you dance when nobody is watching. Letting go of judgments or concerns, we allow our bodies to work out stress and through freedom to move as we feel discover grace and beauty. We get lost in the dance into the blissful space of no-mind.
Ecstatic dance empowers people of all shapes, ages, sizes and backgrounds to freely express themselves; the liberating atmosphere creates a melting pot of acceptance, and the fearlessness with which others move gives permission and courage to dance without inhibition. Everyone is welcomed.
Ultimately, the experience of ecstatic dance is what you make of it.
GUIDELINES
Ecstatic Dance is a moving meditation. We ask that ...
- Conversations happen outside the dance space,
- Respect other’s personal space = get a clear YES before making physical contact.
- Substance Free = no smoking, alcohol, or dugs. Let the dance be your high.
