Some information for newcomers:
Ecstatic Dancing invites people to connect to themselves and others through music and freestyle dancing. It takes place over a 2-hour live DJ set and starts and finishes with a short opening and closing circle/meditation. There are no teachers or rules, but we ask you to follow a few guidelines:
1. No talking on the dance floor. You are welcome to communicate with others with your body language, but please keep words outside the space.
2. No shoes. Barefoot Dancing helps us ground ourselves by creating direct contact between our feet and the floor. Ecstatic Dance is best practiced barefoot, but you can also wear socks if you wish to.
3. No alcohol/illegal substances. Ecstatic Dance is a conscious practice embracing mindfulness.
4. Phone-free zone. Please keep your phones off/silent and out of sight.
5. Respect for self and others. We ask participants to take responsibility for themselves, watch out for others, and be mindful of their personal space.
6. Photographs :There will be a few videos taken of the DJ/Facilitator and a few subtle shots of silhouetted dancers or feet. The aim is for dancers to not be identifiable in footage but to have something to capture the energy to use in promotions. If you are unable or prefer not to be in any footage, please let someone on the team know. You can do this at any time including id we've shared something you feel is too recognisable. Our aim is to allow dancers to drop into the dance space without worrying about how they look or move.
7. Have fun!
