Ecstatic Dance Party Apr 27th

(***please read through to the bottom to save some money!)

For those of you with a desire to express the many sides of yourself through movement, and still be in bed before midnight, you've found the place :)

Ecstatic dance is all about the journey. We play a wide variety of music including (but not limited to) funk, tribal, deep house, hip hop, soulful R&B, indie pop, and the occasional early 2000's throwback.

Please read this next section so you know what you're signing up for:

From 8:30-9pm I will guide you in dynamic movements to wake up and prime your mind, heart and body for the journey. You can skip this part if you wish, entry fee is $10 whether you come for the wake up or not.

At 9pm we will have an opening ceremony. This includes a connection ritual and reviewing the agreements for the space. Click here to read the agreements in advance, example: no talking on the dancefloor!

The first hour of the journey will include mostly instrumental music, with a calm, stirring start and a slow buildup that leads into an energetic peak. The first hour is reserved for introspective dance (dancing alone).

Around 10pm we will have a short break where talking can resume, and spend 10-15 minutes engaging in low-pressure connection games. Doors will close at this point (no entry after 10pm).

The rest of the night will include more music with lyrics, and people can engage in partner dancing and group dancing if they choose (non-verbal consent agreements will be announced during the break). The music will start on a playful energetic note and then wind down for a soft landing, ending with instrumentals for a relaxing integration.

No talking on the dance floor throughout the evening so you can really tap into your internal compass.

You do not have to consider yourself a dancer to attend. Dance is medicine and dance is innate to us all. If you have a desire to attend something like this, but it also makes you a wee bit uncomfortable, check out my other offerings! I host a class called Not the Best Dance Class which is the perfect stepping stone to prepare you for a full on ecstatic dance party.

I dunno about you, but I need more reminders that life is amazing. Let's dance to remember!!

You can wear socks or go barefoot (but socks give you a nice "glide" on the floor !) and come dressed in comfy layers that you can move in. Bring water, perhaps a journal if movement unlocks things in your brain ;)

Please come sober! Please do not wear scented lotions or perfumes!

PLEASE READ ***If you would like to avoid the Eventbrite fee, please Venmo me $10 to hold your spot @Christina-Redondo and mention the date you are signing up for.

See you there,
