Santa Cruz Ecstatic Dance is a unique expression of a global movement. It is a place for freeform dance and movement meditation with a rich musical tapestry spun by Daniel Mollner and occasional guest DJs. It is a non-conversational space where we express with our bodies. All are welcome over 14 years of age.
The dance space is sacred. Move in the way that feels right for you. Dance however you wish. We support each individual’s range and style of expression while respecting and considering our impact on each other and the space.
Please arrive at least one hour before the dance ends. Wear comfortable clothing that you can move easily in. Bring water and anything else you might need to dance deep, wide, and free.
Driving Directions and Parking:We are dancing at Ocean View Park in the heart of Santa Cruz overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the San Lorenzo River, and the historic Boardwalk. Park anywhere on the street above or below the park. The park is adjacent to the river bike path for wheeled and pedestrian access from downtown and the transit center.

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.
