This is all about getting great exercise, freeing your mind and body, and connecting with yourself and with your community.
We dance fearlessly and create a judgement free zone where we can play, leap, roll twerk and move freely – which gives you permission to do the same…
Our focus is to create a community space for healthy living and a safe environment of RESPECT where you can be yourself in a dynamic group setting.
GUIDELINES: To maintain a sacred space for movement and free expression we ask that you please follow these guidelines:
No talking on the dance floor.
Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free Environment
No Photos or Videos, Cellphones quiet and out of sight
Respect the space and each other
Dance however you wish
Dance alone or with as many partners as you like–If you’d rather not dance with someone, thank them by placing your hands in prayer at your heart.
At the end of every dance we will convene in a closing circle to share our experiences with our community.
FIRE JAM & AFTER JAM:
After dance bring your favorite fire flow toys, glow toys, and instruments and lets make Friday night epic again.

Dance Guidelines
Ecstatic Dance – 3 Simple Guidelines
1. We Dance without shoes (or: We Dance Barefoot)
This allows us to connect more fully with the Ground (socks are OK)
If you have a physical condition that you need dance shoes, then OK
2. We Dance without words (or: We Dance with Body Language)
This makes it easier to be in a Meditative State
No Verbal Instruction from the Facilitators
No Talking from the Dancers
3. We Dance as We Are
No Drugs/Alcohol, No Phones, No Camera/Video, No Scents, No Expectations, No Judgements, No Shoulds, No Oughts… Just Be Yourself; With Respect for Ourselves, the Space, and One Another.
