Welcome beautiful beings. I am very excited to curate another Sunday dance playlist at the Interchange on Dec. 22nd.
Ecstatic dance is a space of free form movement and is open for many forms of SUBTLE as well as WILD expression. No previous experience or training is needed to participate.
This will be an 80 minute playlist from 11am-12:20 pm.
Per usual, Warm up playlist begins at 10:30am till 11. Then opening circle will be at 11.
The theme for this dance is "Midnight in the Cave". Honoring the oncoming of winter time. A time for hibernation in the cave, a time where the nights are extra long and the days are short. A time for us to look deeper within and engage with the shadow and remember how to dance our way through the challenges and into the light.
