About this dance
Start your Sunday with joy, freedom, and community! We dance in the big beautiful Palladium Ballroom!
No choreography, no experience needed—just bring yourself and your unique movement. Together we’ll create a safe, welcoming space to shake loose, ground into our bodies, and celebrate life through rhythm.
This is a substance-free, judgment-free event. All ages and all bodies welcome (keiki dance free!).

ABOUT THE JOURNEYEcstatic Dance is a moving meditation. The music follows an arc: beginning in stillness, building to a thumping crescendo, then returning to spaciousness with a soothing sound bath.
We invite you to move authentically, follow your body’s wisdom, and let go—whether that means leaping, rolling, twerking, twirling, or simply breathing into stillness. Discover the joy of freeform dance, community connection, and the liberation of mind and body.

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.
