What is Ecstatic Dance?

Ecstatic Dance is a Community Freeform Dance party. In Ecstatic Dance, you move from the inside out, letting music be your intoxicant (substance & alcohol free). Just as soundwaves can move through walls, shake glasses and water, let them move through you. You can choose to dance, do yoga, contact improv, flow arts (small props only, no fire) or whatever else moves you. You can also choose to not move at all and just be surrounded by good people and good music. Our dances are held in a consent-based, non-conversational, drug/alcohol free setting with mind blowing music, held at Bert’s Warehouse this month. People may dance solo or together (with consent), as long as everyone respects the Space, One Another & Themselves.

Movement & Safety Parameters:

•Move as you wish - There is no right or wrong way to move in ecstatic dance. You can also choose to not move at all. Listen to your body, and let it do what it needs.

•Do not come intoxicated. Let the music intoxicate you instead. Alcohol and drugs are not permitted. This includes vaping and marijuana. This allows for a safe and consent based atmosphere.

•Non-conversational - The only expression on the dance floor is physical. If you must talk to someone, take it out into the lobby. This allows the dancers to be fully into the music and their own movements. Singing and expressing feelings during music is welcome.

•Consent based - If you would like to dance with someone, make eye contact and give clear indication. If you do not want to dance with someone, or if you are ready to end dancing with partners, bow out by using Namaste hands.

•No Photos or videos during dance unless facilitator gains informed consent from the group.

• Please refrain from heavy perfumes or scents, as we will be in close proximity to one another.
