Ecstatic Dance
Knoxville Movement Collective hosts a dance wave the second Saturday of each month in South Knoxville. There are several volunteers that take turns curating the playlist.
Our monthly Saturday dance will honor our ancestral paths. While this is our usual stand alone dance, it will also cap off and bring to a close our second full day collaborative retreat: Reconcile | Reclaim | Rebirth: An Ancestral Journey.
There will be a short, guided warm up prior to our opening circle for anyone who would like to participate as part of the ecstatic dance evening.
We invite you to bring any items for the community altar project that represent a connection to community, land, culture or family that you want to either heal, connect or renew your alignment.
We are a volunteer run organization and our sliding scale helps us cover our venue fees.
Doors open at 7 pm
Opening circle is at 7:20 pm
The wave is usually about 75 minutes
We gather for closing circle afterwards
Driving Directions and Parking:You can park anywhere around the entire building, but please enter through the front doors (street side) next to the jewelry shop. As you enter please be aware that this location has two "shop cats" that reside full time in the space and can sometimes be curious about what might be on the other side of the opening door.

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.
