🌿What is Ecstatic Dance?🌿
Ecstatic Dance is an ancient practice with modern modalities that invites participants to release expectations around what we “should” look like on the dance floor, allowing space to explore the depths of the inner self through rhythm, emotion, and authentic expression.
The music at an ecstatic dance follows the structure of Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms; starts slow, builds up to a climax and ends in stillness.
The guidelines create a specific container of non-judgement and respect for self and others.
In order to create this container, here are the guidelines:
- Doors close at 7pm. No entry after the opening circle.
- No talking on the dance floor. There are designated areas to hang out and talk outside the dance floor.
- No phones on the dance floor.
- No pictures or videos during the dance.
- No shoes on the dance floor.
- Non-verbal consent specified to dance with another.
- No food or drinks on the dance floor.
- No substance use on the dancefloor*
- Closing circle
*Our space does not require sobriety. Respectful and intentional engagement with substances and using principles of harm-reduction is welcomed, as long as it is not disrupting anyone else’s experience. In such a case, the facilitators reserve the right to remove any individual causing disruption and/or harm.
If you are going to engage with substances, consider what brings you more into presence and lucidity in your body instead of dissociation.
Schedule:
Doors Open 6:00pm
Opening Circle 7pm
Embodiment Practice 7:30pm
Ecstatic Dance 8pm-9:15pm
Meditation 9:15-9:30
Fire Circle & Jam 9:30-11pm
🌲 Theme 🌲
This dance will take place during Virgo season.
Our theme this month is Pulse of the Earth.
The energy of this dance will have an intention of connecting to the Virgo archetype of service and connection to the element of Earth, refinement in our daily practices, and the sacredness of everyday life.
The Space
Harmonic Graffiti is an art collective that curates and cultivates the best and brightest of the Bay Area. They specialize in Live Music, Art Exhibitions, and immersive events.
The dance will take place in a beautiful warehouse gallery & event space in the middle of Saint Pete’s art district.
🐍 About the DJ 🐍
Serpentine Salua is an ecstatic dance DJ who weaves tribal and indigenous rhythms with electronic downtempo beats to create immersive, alchemical sound journeys. Born and raised in Colombia, her music is deeply inspired by her ancestral roots and the spirit of the land that raised her.
With several years of experience facilitating ceremonies with cacao and other sacred plant medicines, Salua approaches music, sound, and movement as sacred tools for transformation. She sees each set as a ceremonial offering—an invitation to explore the depths of the inner self through rhythm, emotion, and authentic expression.
Salua believes in the profound healing power of music to bring balance, integration, acceptance, and inspiration. Her intention is to guide listeners through evolving soundscapes that stir emotion and serve as elixirs for the soul.
Her musical palette is influenced by artists such as Mose, Poranguí, Savej, Of The Trees, Liquid Bloom, and many more whose work bridges ancient wisdom with modern sound.
Experience Created and Curated by
Rhythmic Rites
Rhythmic Rites explores rituals of passage with a particular focus on archetypal influences, cyclical living, nature-relatedness, womb healing and plant medicines.
We are a collective passionate about bringing the ancient into the modern with different modalities. *
This month's hosts are Kaylee Davis (Embodiment Practice), Alexandra Mars (Dance facilitation), Salua Rivero (DJ set).
This will be a monthly ecstatic dance, with the intention of building a solid, consistent community gathering for people to come to when they need to release, express and simply just exist.
Substance Policy
Sobriety is NOT required to attend our Ecstatic Dance, however we do require no substance use on the Dance floor. Respectful & intentional engagement with substances is welcomed off the dance floor, with awareness of harm-reduction. If you are to engage with substances, consider what invites presence & lucidity.
By acknowledging the diverse needs and desires within communal spaces and focusing on the intention rather than a dictation of what can and cannot be consumed, we hope to promote a space where relationship to self and other is encouraged to be trusted and expanded. Please reach out with any questions.
