Ecstatic Dance Pittsburgh presents:
Ecstatic Variety Pack 2 | A free-form dance experience in a nonjudgmental space facilitated by Dani Grace and Esha Khurana.
Featuring a setlist of house, edm remixes of pop and rock songs, and trance with a mixture of lyrical and non-lyrical tunes.
All ages, skills, abilities, and identities welcome!
Community Appreciation Dance - $10 for ALL! Kids 17 & under are FREE!!!! (accompanied by an adult)
There will be minimal visual special fx; tonight's focus is on the essence of dance.... connection with self, the music, and others.
What you can expect:
✨The evening starts with an opening circle, initiating a sacred space to set intentions and center ourselves.
✨You will then be led into a somatic warm-up.
✨About 2 hours of a curated setlist gently bringing you into energetic dance and softly landing you back to rest.
✨The evening winds down with a restful meditation and closing circle with optional personal shares from tonight's experience.
✨Social half-hour and opportunity to connnect with each other follows promptly.
✨This night invites you to "Come as you are and move as you please." and we welcome you both as a solo dancer and dancing with consenting partners.

Maybe you are still wondering… What is Ecstatic Dance???
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform, expressive movement practice where participants are invited to dance without choreography or particular dance moves, allowing the music and their spirit to guide them. It offers a unique, judgment-free space for physical exercise, emotional release, and creative expression. Beyond fitness, it provides a chance to connect deeply with oneself and others, fostering a sense of freedom, grounding, and community. This is also a great way to mingle with people without the expectation of verbal socializing.
