Absolute Beginner Ecstatic Dance Class (7pm-730pm) will give you a chance to explore new movements with guided support of an Instructor. Improve your understanding of ecstatic dance, ask questions, and explore moving freely in your body.
Opening circle offers space to introduce ourselves, establish guidelines and social norms for the dance space. Some of the most important guidelines are as follows: Consent-based space, sober space, non-conversational space (while dancing), non-judgmental, and no photo/video during open dance.
The dance itself is led by music from all over the globe, and from all genres. You will hear instrumental, electronic, and vocal music as well. Somatic movement and ecstatic dance can be a powerful tool for healing trauma and tension, calming anxiety, or simply processing emotions held within the body. This is a safe space to feel and move freely. The music will intentionally flow and ebb until we find our way back to stillness.
The closing circle offers an opportunity to reintroduce ourselves, reflect, and share our experiences and emotions during our dance journey.
Ecstatic dance is a practice that we believe provides release, restoration, and re-energizes us, as we process, embody, and dance through our emotions. We look forward to sharing space with you.
