About this dance

Every Tuesday evening in Portland we dance!  Hosted from 7-10 p.m. at The Den, centrally located in SE Portland, Oregon, with a professional L-Acoustics sound system, professional lighting & Visuals, and a studio dance floor.  $20 ($15 for bipoc) or $165 for a 10 dance pass.  We start with a 45 minute movement, stretching, yoga, somatic, or embodiment style class, followed by a brief opening circle, 2 hours of Dance from an experienced Ecstatic Dance DJ, and a sound healing to close the evening.

Three simple guidelines

Learn more about ecstatic dance
1

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.
