DANCE VALUES & GUIDELINES:

• Be Clear: We are a sober event. Arrive clear in heart & body. The dance is the medicine.

• Be Consensual: We value choice. Get a clear yes before involving others in your dance.
• Be Present: No talking, cell phones, or videos/photos during the dance. Wild non-verbal sounds are always welcome! Kindly move all conversations—even small ones—to the lobby.
• Be Inclusive: This is a safe space where all humans can come practice, pray, and play. Embody a universal perspective that is inclusive to all. All colors, ethnicities, sizes, ages, abilities, sexualities, genders, & religions are welcome.
• Be Barefoot: No shoes in the dance space (unless you need them for medical reasons).
• Be Tidy: Help keep the lobby and dance space organized and free of obstacles. Neatly deposit your shoes and jackets in the designated area of the lobby only and mindfully store small valuables and closed water bottles in the designated area in the dance hall only.
• Be Punctual: We realize that mornings don’t always go as planned, but we kindly ask that you arrive between 10:10-10:20am to check in and get seated for our Opening Circle, which starts promptly at 10:30. To preserve our container, anyone not seated on time may be asked to wait in the lobby during our Opening Circle and Connection Exercises and enter the space when the DJ set has begun.
• Be Attentive (of your Children): We love seeing children jumping, dancing, and exploring movement! Parents are responsible for their child(ren)’s safety as well as their whereabouts & noise level so as to not disrupt other dancers. Small children should be supervised at all times.
• Be Accountable: We depend on every ticket sale to keep our non-profit going. Please ensure that you purchase a ticket each time you attend EDN. If you arrive late, please fill out the late arrival check in sheet and follow all printed late arrival instructions on the welcome table.

PHOTO & VIDEO POLICY

In order to provide a space most conducive to healing and full self expression, attendees may not take photos or videos during the dance and we ask that phones be left on silent and off your person. The only people taking photos and video will be a designated EDN staff/volunteer and the DJ. This is for marketing purposes in order to help build our community and show new people what Ecstatic Dance is all about. Photography and videography will be limited to the front half of dance floor closest to the DJ during Opening Circle and the first 15-20 minutes of the DJ set, allowing any attendees who wish to not be featured on camera to remain in the back half of the room for that duration.
