🍁Fall for dance this Equinox! 🍂 It's the first-ever Ecstatic Dance in Roseburg. This is a free event brought to you by Umpqua Movement Arts Collaborative (UMAC) and Thrive Umpqua
Ecstatic Dance is "movement meditation" to EDM and Global Bass music for all ages. No judgment. No moves to learn. No booze. No social tak in the dance space. Simply dance how it feels good in your body.
We are honored to hold this event on the Fall Equinox, to help shepherd us through the changing seasons. We are all so thrilled to share that The Longest Table is offering free community dinner to everyone after the dance, from 5:30-8pm! You must be registered in advance for dinner.

⦾ 3:30pm: Chill music for arrival, warm-up, and stretching
⦾ 3:55pm: Welcome and brief orientation
⦾ 4:00–5:20pm: Main DJ set with Bonbon Spirit

Feel free to arrive or leave at any time, but we believe the journey is best experienced as a whole: please try to arrive early. Our music is a mix of organic and electronic beats from around the globe—with a focus on the cutting edge of "bass music" production. The journey will open with flowing music to warm-up the body, steadily pick up in tempo & intensity to reach peaks of ecstasy, and gently land into meditative, heart-chakra stillness.
Bonbon Spirit is a DJ, Music Remixer, and Event Producer in service of conscious movement, who settled in Corvallis in 2016 with the intention of helping build Ecstatic Dance practice and community in Oregon. Bonbon has DJ'd for 600+ dance events since 2010.
Ecstatic Dance Guidelines:
**Be clear-minded. We dance free of alcohol and other inebriating substances.
**Dance and move how it feels good. Be curious, open, and accepting. There's no right or wrong way to be ecstatic! Please suspend judgements of self or other.
**Move with care and mindfulness through the space. Help us avoid any collisions on the dance floor.
**Refrain from talking on the dance floor. Take all conversations off to the side.
**We are a consent-based community. Be aware of others' personal boundaries—Ecstatic Dance is very contact-friendly, but we all have different levels of comfort when it comes to being approached and touched. Only give attention or contact to whom enthusiastically welcomes it.
**Put away your cell phone. Cell phone use is a distraction to the other dancers. And there's no taking photos or videos—that takes people out of their deep experience and is a breach of privacy.
