About this dance

Living Arts Dancewaves are an inclusive space for people to move freely and express themselves creatively. We are for everyBODY, no matter your age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability or dance ability. Dances last for 90 minutes, starting slow, building to a peak, and then returning to stillness, during which time you will get to experience the euphoria of music, rhythm and connection with others. We encourage you to take care of your body, to move at the pace and in the ways that feel best to you, and to honor other’s bodies by always seeking continual consent in your interactions with others.

Getting there

Parking in front, side and rear

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.
