Roots Revival
Embrace the Rhythms of Your Roots This gathering is a heartfelt invitation for individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color in the DFW area to celebrate the wisdom and innate need for expression within your bodies, all within a nurturing and secure space. Together, let’s co-create a sanctuary and playground on the dance floor.
So what is this Ecstatic Dance, you ask? Ecstatic Dance is a liberating and transformative movement practice that invites individuals to move + express freely within a welcoming and supportive environment. The dance session lasts for 90 minutes, starting with a 30-minute warm-up, an opening circle, followed by a 60-minute dance wave. A dance wave begins gently, builds to an energetic peak, and then gradually returns to stillness. Unlike traditional dance settings, there are no set choreographies or structured movements. Instead, participants are encouraged to move intuitively in a way that feels natural to them. There is space for people who need to rest, cry, or shake off all the energy within.

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.
