join our Rising Rhythms community for ecstatic dance on Sunday April 6th at 10:00 AM!
This playlist will guide us on a journey to help you release your ego and reconnect to yourself and community on the dance floor.
We will come together for a closing ceremony at the end of our practice. There is absolutely no dance experience required. Come move your body in whatever way it needs.
Recommended $10-15 donation at the alter. (please do not allow lack of funds to prevent you from joining) We encourage you to wear comfortable clothes and bring water.
Our dance floor is a sacred space. Please respect the shared expectations for Ecstatic Dance.
BE PRESENT. NO PHONES. NO CAMERAS. (Photos and videos may be taken by Rising Rhythms for promotional purposes)
BE EMBODIED. LIMIT TALKING.
BE CLEAR. NO INTOXICANTS.
BE CONSENSUAL. LISTEN FOR A YES. RESPECT A NO.
BE HERE. NO OUTSIDE SHOES.
BE FREE. DANCE HOW YOU WANT. NO JUDGMENT.
WHEN WE STEP ON THE DANCE FLOOR, WE INCLUDE OUR WHOLE SELVES,EVEN THE FRIGHTENED PARTS THAT WANT TO HIDE. WE DANCE THROUGH PAIN AND SORROW.WE DANCE WITH JOY UNTIL OUR HARD EDGES SOFTEN AND OUR MASKS FALL AWAY.WE MEET OTHER COURAGEOUS DANCERS, WEAVING UNBREAKABLE THREADS OF CONNECTION.OUR FRIENDSHIPS TRANSCEND THE BOUNDARIES OF TIME AND SPACE.AND IT ALL MELTS TOGETHER–BEAT,MOVEMENT,BREATH–INTO A SWIRLING VORTEX WE CALL COMMUNITY. AS THE THROBBING PULSE OF THE DANCE FLOOR MATCHES OUR OWN HEARTBEAT, WE KNOW, WITHOUT A DOUBT, WE ARE NOT ALONE.
