Event Description:
Ecstatic Dance invites you to release your self-imposed limitations, to let go of the intellectual confines that dictate how you should move. It beckons you to discover new expressions of movement, to explore the world through dance. This isn’t a dance with set rules or structured forms; it’s an invitation to uncover your individual rhythms, patterns, and movements. Your body becomes the teacher, guiding you to find your unique dance from within.
Ecstatic Dance encourages you to push boundaries, to break free from personal limits. It’s an opportunity to co-create vibrant energy on the dance floor with fellow participants, to rediscover the uninhibited joy of a child, and to revel in the spirit of life while moving to the rhythms of global beats.
This is not merely a social gathering—it’s a sacred, alcohol and drug-free space dedicated to dance and self-expression. It’s a place where everyone participates; we are all co-creators of the energy that envelops the dance floor. Respect for this sacred space is paramount.
Ecstatic Dance can take on various forms—a deep, introspective inner journey or a high-energy, extroverted dance, either alone or with others. It’s a primal and spiritual practice, connecting body and spirit in a profound way.
During this experience, we kindly request no conversation; as talking engages the intellect, which we leave outside the dance floor. Instead, feel free to express yourself through hoots, hollers, animal sounds, and energetic noises as you connect with the primal rhythms within you.
Join us on this ancient and sacred journey through movement. Let’s dance together, explore our inner worlds, and co-create a vibrant tapestry of energy on the dance floor as we welcome in the Spring Equinox.
