This right and left brain balancing movement awakens the spine, gets energy flowing, settles the nervous system, and helps you arrive fully in your body. No experience needed. Come as you are and ease into the dance.🕑: 07:15 PM - 08:15 PMDANCE WAVEInfo: The music starts in flow, and builds to a crescendo, then sets you down gently and is inspired by te five rhythyms format. Five Rhythms are a movement meditation practice that moves through flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, and stillness. Each rhythm reflects a different quality of energy emotion and expression in the body. Flowing is about grounding and circular movement Staccato is about clear expression direction and boundaries Chaos is release freedom and letting go of control Lyrical is lightness creativity and effortless movement Stillness is integration presence and rest We will move through one full hour long wave guided by eclectic playful music that supports grounding, release, joy ,softness, and connection.🕑: 08:30 PMCLOSING CIRCLEInfo: COMMUNITY & INTEGRATION - We’ll gather together at the end of the dance to sit in the container we’ve created and gently land the journey. This is a time to share names, feel the collective energy, and connect as real humans in the room. You’re welcome to speak or simply listen. This circle is about witnessing, belonging, and growing into community together—a soft, grounded return after the wave of movement. This is where strangers begin to feel like community. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/santa-barbara/queers-and-allies-ecstatic-dance-—-april-edition/100001985636726902 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, meditation, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 15, max: 15, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Santa Barbara - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Elemental Aerial Arts - **lat**: 34.4304752 - **long**: -119.7156141 - **full address**: Elemental Aerial Arts, 22 West Mission Street, Santa Barbara, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Queers & Allies Ecstatic Dance — April Edition ✨ - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/9ebeda54603e63a78e881f4ff0ff326359621e31af8c017275686d38f43b5113-rimg-w1200-h587-dc01030f-gmir.jpg?v=1774267151 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Queers & Allies Ecstatic Dance — April Edition ✨ being held? - **A:** Queers & Allies Ecstatic Dance — April Edition ✨ takes place on Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Elemental Aerial Arts, 22 West Mission Street, Santa Barbara, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Queers & Allies Ecstatic Dance — April Edition ✨? - **A:** Tickets for Queers & Allies Ecstatic Dance — April Edition ✨ are priced at USD 15 per person.
