———————————————
Rooted in Ecstatic Dance principles, we feature spirited beats for your auditory pleasure in a spacious and beautiful outdoor grassy setting. We gather and co-create a grounding dance space to move and shake ourselves and our expectations. We strive to connect inward and outward to provide an opportunity for dancers to move their bodies and souls to the music.
Etiquette: No shoes, no talking, no alcohol, no phones, no judgements and no worries.
*While talking isn’t forbidden, please respect dancers tuned into the music and their own flow. Take your conversations outside of the dance space.*
*Ask for consent and give people space before engaging since many attendees approach this free dance with different levels of contact comfortability.*
*Pro Tips: Bring your own blanket, snacks, and maybe even an offering to the community.
May the Spirit of Dance lift you up on the Wings of Freedom 🕊
Donations greatly appreciated, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

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.
