# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Raleigh Ecstatic Dance: The Call
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 03 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Fri, 03 Jul, 2026 at 09:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Hey Everyone!

Excited to announce that we are back in the Sanctuary this Friday with Maya bringing the set!

For this week's Sanctuary dance, there will be no cacao ceremony or pre-dance movement warm-up. Based on this, we are moving our opening circle to 7:30PM, to give me more time for commutting and pre-dance set-up!

As always, help moving the chairs before (and after) dance would be greatly appreciated! If you have the time, space, and energy to help, consider arriving between 5:30-6PM!

< Suggested Payment >
Suggested Contribution is $10-$20 -- 

While RED is financially stable, receiving funds helps us cover our rent at UUFR ($200 for Sanctuary dances), offer scholarships to different movement-based offerings in the Triangle, and put on special events. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

For those that are interested in contributing in other ways, there are over 300 chairs that are currently in the sanctuary space that will need to cleared to set up the dancefloor, and then returned to the original location once the dance is over. Additional help would go a long way!

< Location Information >
If you park in the front parking lot (off of Wade Avenue) and face the building complex, there is a larger entrance on your left where the Sanctuary and Music Room are, an outdoor walkway that will lead you down to the bottom floors, and a smaller entrance on your right (where we would typically dance in the past). The larger entrance on your left will lead you right to the main sanctuary where we'll be dancing!

If you enter into the back parking lot (from Dogwood Lane), the road will take you up the hill to the front parking lot.

Raleigh Ecstatic Dance is an intentional space where people of all races, ages, genders, and socio-economic classes are openly welcome to unite in the experience of an authentic moment. It is a physical and mental rehabilitation that strips down the interactions between the individual self, music, and others.
Ecstatic dance is a form of abandonment, meaning, there are no steps to follow. The rhythm of the music will become one’s only guidance and is intended to open the individual to the purest form of ecstasy: life.

There is no wrong way to dance. All forms of activity that are grounded in the spirit of consent are encouraged and often range from sitting peacefully on the outskirts of the dancefloor to thrashing one’s limbs around like a wild monkey.
This space promotes raw forms of expression without shoes or talking. Attendees are encouraged to come sober to ensure a mindful and wholesome container!

The dance is guided through a wave of music woven upon the theory of Five Rhythms: beginning with flow, moving to staccato, chaos, (lyrical) playfulness, and settling into stillness. The music sets last about 90 minutes with an opening and closing circle at the beginning and end of the dance.

Additional Notes:
- Reminder: Seek non-verbal queues of consent (eye contact and open arms means 'YES'. Arms crossed, no eye contact, avoidance means 'NO'). Accept the 'NO' (it's okay if someone doesn't want to dance with you at a particular point in time; this is a great way to learn about boundaries!)
