About this dance

Ecstatic dance is a form of dance in which the dancers, without direction, surrender themselves to the experience and move freely as the music takes them, leading to a journey of awakenings. The dance serves as a form of meditation, helping to release physical, mental, and spiritual blockages to reach peace. Each dance is held in a safe and sacred container by facilitators and a professional DJ. It’s a place where every person can embody their unique expression while also connecting to a collective spirit. Hosted by Adam Clark.

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.
