Dance Guidelines
WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?
ED is a free-movment dance practice, inviting people to connect to themselves and to others through music and movement. A live DJ set will start and finish with a short opening and closing circle. There is no instruction, here your body is the teacher and the music your guide.
GUIDELINES.
1. No talking! Ecstatic Dance is a silent practice -you are welcome to communicate with others with your body language, but please keep words outside the space.
2. No shoes (unless special and necessary). Barefoot dancing helps us ground ourselves by creating direct contact between our feet and the floor. Ecstatic Dance is best practiced barefoot but you can also wear socks if you wish to.
3. No drugs/alcohol. Ecstatic Dance is a conscious practice embracing mindfulness.
4. Phone-free zone. Please keep your phones off/silent and out of sight.
5. Respect of self and other. We ask participants to take responsibility for themselves, but also to watch out for others and be mindful of their personal space.
