Here's a brief overview of Ecstatic Dance:
~ Safe, judgement-free space for people to come together and go on a freeform movement journey through what's called a wave. The music starts out slow, builds to a peak and then drops back down to stillness.
~ Goal is to achieve a state of Ecstasy, where dancers feel connected to others and their emotions and experience a meditative and happy state of mind.
~ There are almost no rules, but some guidelines include no shoes, no talking during the dance, and no drugs or alcohol.
~ Photography is not allowed unless you have consent to do so.
~ You may choose to dance alone or dance with others. I say begin by yourself, set an intention for you and the world. To dance with another, you will need their consent first.
~ Avoid heavy scents.

Ania Hata is an Ecstatic Dance Facilitator and DJ. Music and dance have been a part of her life since the age of five. She is passionate about sharing her love for movement and dance. Her belief is that this type of freeform dance can get rid of grief, inspire ideas and make you fall in love with life again. The dances she facilitates have a super playful vibe to them involving scarves, dance skirts plus other dance props. Ania loves to activate the heart by serving cacao during her events. Cacao has the ability to open up the heart, heal and bring you into a state of euphoria during the dance. Check out the Ecstatic Dance website for more details about this type of dance.
