We start in a circle to meet one another and check in. Then there’s about an hour of music designed to help you move whatever you’ve got. The music follows the same pattern each time: starting easy and gently, moving to clear beats and rhythms, shifting to unpredictable patterns, changing into sweeping and celebratory songs, ending with deep rest and stillness. We end in circle to give thanks and share our experience.
Guidelines:
*Move however you wish as long at it is safe for everyone
*No conversations on the dance floor, although other sounds are welcome! (sing, whoop, clap, etc)
*Take care of one another
*Be responsible for your safety and well being
*This is a drug & alcohol free space
*No photos or video without permission

Dance Guidelines
Ecstatic Dance – 3 Simple Guidelines
1. We Dance without shoes
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
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.
