Ecstatic Dance

Every Saturday from 10:30 am to noon, we dance to a blend of world music, funk, house, soul, electro swing, positive hip hop, reggae, dance classics, jazz, blues and electronica to free our minds, uplift our spirits and ground our bodies.

Expect to be welcomed warmly and

to make yourself comfortable, taking off your shoes for inside dancing
to enjoy slower/ambient music at first, giving you a chance to stretch and warm up
to dance to an eclectic mix of tunes
to be yourself on the dance floor, and connect with others as you wish
to take part in the closing circle after the music ends

Ecstatic Dance is a conscious embodiment practice within a welcoming community that supports full expression. We come to drop into our bodies and do our best to leave our thoughts, ambitions and self-consciousness behind!

Organized and produced by Harmony Gates.

Dance is by donation at the door; $5 suggested.

Wear comfortable clothes you feel good moving in. Bring your own water or drink.

Please no strong scents/perfume, intoxicants, active cell phones, photos, or videos. Best to leave your dog(s) at home.

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 conversation (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; however singing and sounding is encouraged

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.
