Dancing can be a deeply cathartic process, allowing the dancer to reach and express complex emotions in a safe and symbolic way .
Ecstatic Dance is a space for freedom of expression through movement .
A space to Have fun! Dance, release those feel good emotions in the body, and connect to your unique sense of self . Let go, enter the flow state , trance, & transform ..
You are a powerful warrior-
Showing up for yourself takes courage,
Being vulnerable takes courage.
“The journey of the warrior , whether literal or metaphysical takes courage
To confront challenges, face fears, & pursue a greater purpose with integrity and resilience .”
It takes courage to show up , face your shadow , & choose to shine ✨
