Ecstatic Dance Knoxville

What is Ecstatic Dance? It’s a freestyle dance that allows for the freedom to express our most authentic Self through dance in a judgment free zone. No partner or dance experience necessary. Light instruction will be given before the dance begins.

What to expect: The dance is done in a softly lit room to music that’s a blend of tribal/electronic/trance beats from around the world.

In order to create a sacred space for each person to drop into the experience, we ask that everyone arrive on time & honor each other with NO talking during the dance.

Please dress modestly but comfortably and bring a water.

Drinks: we will have a non-alcoholic botanical bar set up serving kava & kombucha drinks. Drinks: $3-5 ea

Cover: $15-20 (cash, cash app or Apple Pay) / $5 for kids under 12

Schedule:
7pm: Arrival
7:30pm: Opening circle (please arrive NO later than 7:30pm as doors will be locked)
7:45pm: Ecstatic Dance
9pm: Closing circle & potluck to follow. Please bring a snack/dish to share. No onions/garlic foods as it stinks up the studio.

”In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: “When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?” ~ Gabrielle Roth
