Ecstatic 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.

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.
