ECSTATIC DANCE | $5 – $10 DONATION
January 30, 2022 from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
ECSTATIC DANCE
“What is Ecstatic Dance?”
A form of dance in which the dancers, sometimes without the need to follow specific steps, abandon themselves to the rhythm and move freely as the music takes them, leading to trance and a feeling of ecstasy.
Ecstatic Dance is an opportunity to connect with yourself through movement. There’s no need to follow specific steps or dance in any certain way. This evening is all about going with the groove in the way that feels best to YOU!
We hope you’ll join us in our effort to move, let go and be free.
What should I expect?
A welcoming greeter.
A comfortable, non judgmental vibe.
Space to move freely.
An array of music styles such as – world, dance, bass, tribal, ethnic, fluid, meditative, chanting and more.
Emotional Release – people who choose to free up and participate or truly integrate in ecstatic dance have admittedly experienced many different emotional releases. Most would describe as a relief. Or a breath of fresh air.
What can ecstatic dance do?
The described effects of ecstatic dance include a feeling of connection with others, indeed of “universal relatedness”, and with the dancer’s own emotions; serving as a meditation, providing a way of coping with stress and restoring serenity; and serving as a spiritual practice.
What should I bring?
Yourself. Or possibly a friend. Depends on the friend. This sort of dance is best if your focus is truly on yourself. So if you feel you can achieve this with someone. Please invite them. 😉
What should I wear?
Something comfortable. That you can really move freely in. Colorful is always nice too. But this isn’t a fashion show. In fact some people choose to dance with their eyes closed.
