The theme of this dance is WHOLENESS.
Allow yourself to dance with each aspect and part that makes up the entirety of your unique being and essence. The mind tends to divide and separate both internally and externally. This dance experience is an opportunity to integrate the fragmented parts and bring them home. Home within, safely in the body where they can interplay, interact and be witnessed and loved.
Open to the mystery that is you and all those around you. Soften to the totality that creates your unique soul and human essence.
With curiosity and gentleness let’s play with all that we are and discover the parts are merely different forms making up the whole. And allow the dance to inspire other meanings of wholeness and receive what you need.
Excited to be collaborating with @ellentrumbo at
https://allartworks.com/ (All ART Works) space in Grand Rapids!
All Art Works is a unique platform with art from all over the world, accessible in an online gallery and there’s an in person gallery to connect people with the art in an interactive format! The mission to highlight artists and their work in a unique format is incredible.
Tickets for the dance event are $20 (Venmo or PayPal @lexamaxdi or cash at the door). $5 from each ticket will be donated to All Art Works!
All are welcomed to join in this dance! Let your intuition guide and show up if called.
We will begin the journey with a meditation/grounding, intuitive ritual and brief sharing circle. After, the dance will commence and close with a sharing circle.
About Ecstatic Dance:
It's a free form dance, with no choreography. Simply intuitive movement. The dance playlist creates a wave of rhythms to facilitate journeying. The intention is to form community connection and connection with one's body/mind and soul.
Ecstatic Dance Guidelines:
-This is a substance free event. Please show up as you are.
-No photographs or video recording is permitted, unless the whole group consents.
-No verbal communication on the dance floor. Feel free to leave the dance floor if you need to speak with someone.
-You may dance with or interact with others during the dance but provide clear nonverbal communication to say yes or no to engage with another. Honor your needs!
-Have fun, respect the collective space and yourself and listen to your body!
*EVERYbody is welcome, regardless of ability. This event is a supportive space to move your body as much or as little as you'd like. Listen to what your body needs throughout the dance and feel free to honor its needs.
River/Alexa's Bio:
Dance has been a soulful companion throughout my life. I first discovered ecstatic dance in the Red Woods of California in 2019 and became inspired to share this embodied, community driven and holistic practice. It has been a gift to host and co-create events in Lansing and Traverse City, Michigan, along with British Columbia, Canada. Ecstatic dance offers organic body movement, feeling waves of e-motions and connecting in a space that is supportive and liberating. Dance feels like home and sharing it is a calling and return to love.
