Our theme this month is “devotion”
Dear Friends,
This weekend marks a truly special milestone — 13 years of Ecstatic Dance! Over the past 13 years, this dance has grown into a space where bodies move freely, music heals, and community deepens. Every step, every heartbeat, every shared moment has brought us here — and we want to celebrate it with you.
Whether you’ve danced with us for years or are joining for the first time, you are part of this lineage simply by showing up. Together, we honor the past, feel the present, and move into the future.
Expect a weekend of:
• Music that carries our history and lifts us forward
• Devotional, heart-centered movement
• Gentle ritual/ceremony
• Space for gratitude, remembrance, and renewal
Come as you are, move as you feel, and celebrate with us — still dancing. Still listening.
Ecstatic Dance Sarasota and Global is a group of movers who dance to express, play, pray, release, raise vibration, connect and more. You don’t need to know any steps. The music dj-Ed live with dj kat. It’s a sacred space, we open with intentions and hold the space collectively. This is very different than a “teacher” and students.. it’s a calling to show up more present,aware and to collectively create safe space. Everyone is welcome, no experience needed. All ages, abilities, open hearts and minds. We open with 6:30pm arrive or meditate .. opening circle at 7pm where we make agreements like 1. No phones 2. Barefoot 3. No talking 4. No judgement (leave egos home)
What is Ecstatic Dance? Ecstatic dance is a form of dance in which the dancers, sometimes without the need to follow specific steps, release themselves to the rhythm and move freely as the music takes them, leading to trance and a feeling of ecstasy.
What is the purpose? Ecstatic dance empowers people of all shapes, ages, sizes and backgrounds to freely express themselves
We open with meditation 6:30pm . Arrive, stretch, get still. Opening circle 7Pm
Who? We are a diverse and growing group of dancing enthusiasts from around the world that come together three times a week to move, play, dance, meditate, connect, heal, express and grow.
Music? The music is DJ-ed by Kai (Kelly Atkins) with a blend of world, electronic conscious and sacred music blended with dubstep, club, rap, techno/house, instrumental and chill. The music is chosen to open your dance, to experience lots of different vibrations (healing musical qualities and solfeggio rhythms/harmonics), emotions and musical genres and to inspire creativity. Its set up in a wave format. Kelly Atkins has been creating playlists and soundscapes for dance and conscious movement many years and has great joy making unique sound journeys for every dance. We welcome new folks to join anytime.
