Ecstatic Dance is a free-form dance where music guides movement and expression. The emphasis is on letting go, moving freely, and connecting with the music, rather than on specific choreography or skill level. Music is a mix of pop, club, house/EDM, world music / new age -- whatever gives us a chance to move our body and explore different kinds of movement and expression. You can dance as much or as little as you like!
You do NOT have to be "good" at dancing to participate! You do have to be willing to follow the group agreements set in place by the facilitators at the beginning of the dance. Agreements include no drugs or alcohol and no conversation on the dance floor.
At the end, we enjoy a short sound healing session together as well as tea, snacks and conversation. All ages are welcome at this event.
