The benefits of dancing in the day are immense. If you’re unfamiliar or a bit hesitant, but want to give it a go, you’ll quickly find that any future hesitation to be inspired to move freely has disintegrated. A unique liberation has occurred.
The level of sound will be just right and hopefully won’t force you to stick things in your ears!
If you’d like, you may store your belongings along the walls on the dance floor.
Please arrive on time! However, if life has you running late, we’ll see you when we see you. (Cost is the same)
The Warm up is a sweet 30 minute version of a music wave to get you ready for the full 60 minute Elemental Wave. Music played intends to connect us to the possibilities of moving with/as Water, Earth, Fire, Air and Peace. So many movements to explore when we embody these qualities that surround and imbue us. There may be verbal prompts, poetry, vocal expression(not conversation), etc…during the warm-up.
Our opening circle is a time to introduce ourselves, establish space parameters, guidelines, etc, and to “say it so to make it happen” dedications.
Please, no conversation on the dance floor. Please exit to the lobby for conversation if necessary.
Vocalizations are welcome. Percussion on instruments is welcome with an awareness of supporting the music and dancers a priority. Please treat the instruments with care and respect.
Elemental Ecstatic Dance is hosted by Andjru Werderitsch and Hilary Nichols and supported by dear friends in the community. If you’d like to sign up for a volunteer position, please message hosts.
Please see Andjru’s bio and his connection to dance and music making.
The music is selected for its connection to Elemental Dancing.
Choice of music is from the world over. Mostly music made for dancing in most all genres. However, contemporary, and electronic dance music definitely has its place here.
Everyone and every-all are welcome here. Please spread the word. A maximum of 2 Children 12 and under are free of charge, but must be supervised by an adult. 3+ children for one adult must be discussed with hosts. This is a safe space for everyone!
Come and dance, free your mind, and please leave your judge in our lobby and offer tea.
Respect of self and others is essential and a must at our events.
Please refrain from wearing oils, scented cream, cologne, strong detergents etc…Some of us are extremely sensitive, even allergic to strong scents.
Let's dance!
