New Haven Ecstatic Dance
39 Putnam Avenue, Hamden CT 06517
About this dance
Our space is a spiritual container inclusive of all people. We follow the general Ecstatic Dance guidelines: no booze, no chit-chat on the dance floor, no devices, and consensual dance. Generally, there is a guided warm-up. The music starts slow and builds up to a high point. We close with sound healing.
Getting there
There is a commuter parking lot next to the yoga studio.
Three simple guidelines
Learn more about ecstatic danceWe 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.
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.
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.
