No experience needed. Nose plugs available.
Space Very Limited: Pre-registration required.
Bring: bathing suit, towel, water bottle, ear plugs (optional)
Partial scholarships available—reach out if cost is a barrier. We want you there.

Getting there
Plenty of space in the parking lot!
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.
