Ecstatic Dance

We’re turning 15!!

Come celebrate 15 years of Ecstatic Dance in Knoxville! It’s our “dance-aversary” this month.

Our third Friday dance wave will include a community potluck dinner at 6 pm, also at the church. Please bring an item to share!
Amanda will facilitate a warm-up at 7 pm focused on creating connection and greater sense of community before our opening circle.

The wave will be an extended mix offering a retrospective of a few of the many songs that we have danced through over the years – culled from each of our mix makers dating back to some of our first dances.

CONNECTION & COMMUNITY: community is important to us. Our gatherings leave time for us to practice active listening — a gift that allows others to feel seen and heard, nurtured and loved.

Driving Directions and Parking:There is plenty of parking including a lower parking lot. Doors do lock around 7:45 and the buzzer to be let in CAN NOT be heard inside the Sanctuary where the dance is held. If you are running late please contact a facilitator directly.

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.
