Ecstatic Dance Agreements:
Let the dance be your language, we keep the floor a space of movement rather than words.
Follow what feels true in your body, honor your own boundaries, and practice consent in every interaction.
We gather in a clear, substance-free field, no alcohol or drugs.
Please keep phones away so we can be fully present together.
Dance barefoot if you can, or wear soft-soled dance shoes if needed.
This is a community space open to all ages and expressions.

About:
Eric first fully felt the transcendant power of dance music when he was brought to Burning Man the summer after high school. His explosive enthusiasm on the dance floor found a natural home at Ecstatic Dance Oakland, where he has been a regular since 2012. Now through DJing, he has found the fullest channel for spreading this infectious energy to the crowd. A dancer first and foremost, his sets are filled with tracks that inspire movement, ranging from melodic and emotive downtempo to funky and bassy midtempo to bouncy and euphoric highs. Described as “his own hype man”, he will be there dancing with you all, since he couldn’t stop if he tried
