It's about freeing your mind and body, and connecting with yourself and others in a safe space. Dance as meditation is as ancient as man himself, and free-form sacred dance is present in many cultures and spiritualities. Dance is a meditation, an honoring of our emotions, and a prayer to the divine. Dance creates a container through which we can discover, unleash, and enhance our individual potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. By engaging our senses and listening to our bodies, we connect to the ethers and shape a consciousness that extends beyond our own. Ecstatic dance is about expression and awareness. Awareness of oneself and of those around you. You don’t need to have ‘moves’, to participate in ecstatic dance, only the courage to let the music guide your body. Ecstatic dance has a musical arc that differs from that of a typical dance club setting. The sonic footprint of an ecstatic dance begins in silence, slowly increasing in intensity to its ultimate energetic climax (feel free to vocalize your joy!), then ramps back down to quiet solitude and eventually, silence. Dancing takes many forms through this movement-based journey, from the fluid and aqueous to the fierce and fervent. Join us as we congregate in the simple and courageous act of ecstatic dance, as we co-create movement, music, and community.
