WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?

Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement practice, inviting you to connect deeply with yourself and others through music. Over a 2-hour DJ set, we journey through sound, movement, and embodied expression, beginning and ending with a short ceremonial circle.

While there’s no teacher, we ask all participants to follow a few simple guidelines:

1. No talking. Communicate with your body, not words.
2. No shoes. Barefoot dancing grounds you to the earth.
3. No drugs or alcohol. This is a mindful, conscious practice.
4. Phone-free zone. Be fully present, inside the space.
5. Respect yourself & others. Watch your actions, honor personal space, and contribute to a safe environment.
6. Stay dressed. Tops and bottoms on for all genders.

FAQs

What to bring?
A full water bottle (preferably reusable) and a curious, open mind.

What to wear?
Comfortable layers for movement and temperature. Think yoga, fitness, or festival-style clothes – but tops and bottoms on, please!

Why do doors close at 6:55 PM?
To maintain a safe, held container and allow everyone to experience the dance fully. Arrive ready to begin at 6:30 PM; 6:55 PM is the absolute cutoff.

What kind of music?
We travel through an eclectic journey: ambient/meditative, ecstatic rhythms from many genres, and gentle downtempo tracks to close.

Are children allowed?
No right now! But in future events we'd love to make this happen.

Refunds?
Tickets are non-refundable.
