Three simple guidelines

Learn more about ecstatic dance
1

We 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.

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 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.
