About this dance
Join us the 1st Sunday of the month from 10:20am -12:00 noon AND the 3rd Sunday at 3:30 – 5:10 at MaybeItsFate at 1425 Story Ave!
Come explore, express, and play with freeform movement ~ in a container where all of you is welcome!
This is a leaderless “class;” each person dancing however they wish to. No experience necessary.

The space
Three simple guidelines
Learn more about ecstatic dance1
We dance barefoot
This allows us to connect more fully with the ground. Socks are OK, and dance shoes are fine if a physical condition calls for them.
2
We dance without words
This makes it easier to be in a meditative state. No verbal instruction from the facilitators, no talking from the dancers.
3
We dance sober, as we are
No drugs or alcohol, no phones or cameras, no scents. Just be yourself, with respect for ourselves, the space and one another.
