Elemental Ecstatic Dance - DAY ONE
Advertisement
Set the tone for your year, Day One! This is our second annual News Years DAY dance. Last year was incredibly potent and funfillin' so we hope you can once again join us in this upcoming transition from 2026 - 2027.
Begin the year with intention, clarity, joy, community and of course your groove.
This dance is a special edition of Elemental Ecstatic Dance with longer, luscious sets! We will follow the same format of our weekly dance, beginning with a 30 minute set, followed by an opening circle, proceeded by a 90 minute set.

We get UP to get DOWN!...We let it IN to let it OUT!
We Dance....Because!
Elemental Ecstatic Dance
We have an open door policy. If you are running late, you can still arrive. Cost is the same however.
(2030 Commerce Blvd. Ann Arbor, Mi. 48103)
A free Form movement practice. No dance experience necessary.
ADA supported. One reserved spot, no steps. Wheeled chairs welcome.
This is a sober event!
A natural dose of D.O.S.E. is highly likely - Dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins may occur naturally for you in our space.
Consider dressing comfortably.
You most likely will sweat!
Barefoot or Socked. Special indoor shoes by approval.
The immersion is the class, participants are the teachers.
Dancing solo is a norm, and dancing with others is a possibility.
Elemental Ecstatic Dance is the inspirational offshoot of Gabrielle Roths 5Rhythms, years of house and EDM and West Coast Ecstatic Dance!
Inspired by Funk, Disco, Indigenous, International (World), Drum 'N Bass, Underground House, deep tech, West Coast Bass, Classical, Americana and any and ALL music that moves us.
The order of music gently welcomes you, warms you, grounds you, then carries you deeper, higher, faster, and finally lets you drift back down into relaxation.
Doors open: 11:15am
11:30am Music starts, dance 45 minute elemental arc.
(Water,Earth,Fire,Air,Peace)
12:15am Opening circle - Introductions, parameters and time to share New Years intentions if you'd like.
12:30pm Let’s Dance 1.25 hours of elemental arc!
1:45pm Closing Circle
Child parameters become essential so we request you as a parent consider attending one dance with adult partner or solo to understand if this is a proper fit for said child.
All Ages welcome *****(see above)*****
11 and under are free (with adult supervision)
A maximum of 2 Children 11 and under are free of charge, but must be supervised by an adult. 3+ children for two adults must be discussed with hosts and approved.
****Updated Child parameters (see bottom)****
PLUS
A2 Yoga has SURROUND SOUND AND A BAMBOO FLOOR!
Arriving on time and joining the opening circle is important but as stated above, we have an open door policy.
Our opening circle is a time to introduce ourselves, establish space parameters, guidelines, etc.
**Very important** This is a consent based space to dance. Many people enjoy dancing by themselves, or dancing across the room with others. To dance with another or others, clear approaches to address partner dancing are shared.
**Important**
We support a scent free experience. Please refrain from strong detergent smells, scented oils, perfumes,
but please be aware of body odor and wear deodorant.
**Important**
Please, no conversation on the dance floor. Exit to the lobby for conversation if necessary.
******Updated Child parameters*****
Elemental Ecstatic Dance is a family friendly environment, however, there are safety parameters as well as ‘class’ appropriate behavior expectations when including children.
If you would like to bring your child/toddler to dance, we highly suggest attending at least one Sunday session without your child to understand the flow and see if it would be an appropriate match with your toddler.
You may consider this to be a great opportunity to relieve the stress of parenting. As parents ourselves, we know how important it is to take time for self-care.
If you would like to take the chance and attend an Elemental Ecstatic Dance with your child before testing the water, we welcome you. We will explain these parameters to you again just in case there may be questions or concerns.
There are quiet/soft music times as well as brief opening and closing circles. These are times when vocalizations, if any, are minimal and the quiet music moments can be compared to a Yoga Class Shivasana.
In other words a time for peace, quiet, rest and introspection.
We like to consider our space physically safe, but a child running freely might create potential hazards to the child or adult participants. Thus, we ask that parents maintain a connection to their child and parent appropriately if such occasions arise.
There are percussion instruments available. We ask that these instruments be treated with kindness and consideration. Tossing them or hitting them too hard can damage them. We expect parents to connect with the child if they are exploring percussion.
Our space is for movement and dance and we acknowledge that children, with appropriate guidance can learn the parameters that are set in place and witness, perhaps participating in an ancient human activity; people dancing together.
Thank you for understanding our parameters and we are happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
See you on the stompin' grounds.
