Ecstatic Dance Guidelines & Info:
Be and Move as You Wish. As soon as you enter the space, you are invited to let go of judgements and expectations, and allow yourself to feel your emotions, sensations, body, mind, and spirit. All freedom of expression is welcomed, and there is no ‘right and wrong’ here. Trust in the journey and move through everything that arises.
Because this is a safe space for movement and expression, we do request that you follow these guidelines:
1. Dance Barefoot - no shoes allowed on the dance floor unless you have a physical condition that requires you to wear shoes. Shoes must be soft soled and used for indoors only.
2. Wear comfortable clothes and layers - all must wear a top for gender equity; wear layers especially in winter if the windows need to be open.
3. Be clear-minded - no alcohol or drugs.
4. Refrain from talking in the dance area - to allow for a movement meditation experience; may talk quietly to obtain consent.
5. Be SCENT-FREE - No fragrances, essential oils or other scented products as these can bother some people.
6. Turn off your cell phone - no camera or videos allowed.
*Dancers will be notified in advance if we plan to take pictures for marketing purposes.
7. Be mindful of your surroundings when dancing.
CONSENT
Many Dancers come to dance by themselves in a group setting. Some Dancers also enjoy dancing with others, with or without physical contact. We are a consent-based community. Please use the following guidelines to help create a consent-based culture:
1. Respect the Solo Dancers' Right to their own Space
2. Continuously Listen for the "Yes" (they turn toward, are coming closer, extend an open palm).
3. Respect any "No" (ignoring you, turning away)
4. When uncertain, quietly ask a person for consent.
5. Hands in prayer at heart means: "I see you and thank you" (for the dance that just ended or doesn't want to begin)
