With a focus on uplifting and ethnic/world feels, her curations beckon dancers to come deeper into Self; offering moments for deep presence as well as explosive energy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {Ein'terada} A Weekly Ecstatic Dance Meditation Journey Every Saturday Evening 7:00 Pm to 9:00 Pm Tannery World Dance and Cultural Center Santa Cruz, California (May schedule: May,13 and May, 28 only) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ {Ein'terad/Ecstatic Dance GUIDELINES & FAQs} ▪︎Guidelines▪︎ ▪︎Three Simple Principles▪︎ ● We Dance Barefoot This allows us to connect more fully with the Ground (socks are OK) If you have a physical condition that you need dance shoes, then OK ● We Dance Without Words This makes it easier to be in a Meditative State. No Verbal Instruction from the Facilitators. No Talking from the Dancers. ● We Dance As We Are No Drugs/Alcohol, No Phones, No Camera/Video, No Scents, No Expectations, No Judgements, No Shoulds, No Oughts,… Just Be Yourself; With Respect for Ourselves, the Space, and One Another. __________________________________________ ▪︎FAQs▪︎ ♤ THE MUSIC At most dances, the soundscape is provided by professional DJ’s who mix the music and facilitate the journey. Most sets will include a variety of musical genres, sonic wave of all tempos, a full spectrum of emotions. At some dances you will find the vibe to be more organic and tribal, and at others more electronic, futuristic, or urban. No set is ever the same! ♡ THE SPACE Ecstatic Dance is a Freeform Conscious Dance. As soon as you enter the space, you are invited to let go of judgements and expectations, and allow yourself to feel your emotions, sensations, body, mind, and spirit. Because this is a safe space for movement and expression we do REQUEST that you follow the three main guidelines: NO shoes (and wear comfy clothes!) NO booze (or any other drugs), NO talking (body language only!). All freedom of expression is welcomed as long as it does not effect the one next to you, as each is finding their own present and free expression too. There is no ‘right and wrong’ here. Trust in the journey and move through everything that arises. ◇ THE COMMUNITY The Ecstatic Dance community welcomes people of all ages/genders/religions/ethnicities. This is a cross-generational community, so often you will see dancers between the ages of 18-90 enjoying the space together. We are a non-denominational community, where we come together for the joy of moving dancing and healing. This means that some people come simply for the exercise, some come for the social connection or self/soul connection, and some come to use the dance as a form of therapy, emotional catharsis, spiritual practice, or prayer. Whatever your reason for wanting to move, you are welcome at Ecstatic Dance. ♧ THE WAY Many Dancers come to dance by themselves in the Group Field. Some Dancers also enjoy dancing with others, with or without physical contact. ☆ It is always a Good Idea to begin by Dancing with Yourself. Feel into how you are doing in this moment, and in your Life in general, take few deep breaths and Set an Intention for Yourself & for The World at Large at the beginning of the Dance. ☆ make sure anyone on the dance floor is able to Give you their clear Consent before approaching them or entering their Field. ☆ If you are not sure, or their eyes are closed or do not meet yours, it is a NO. ☆ Please respect any No, and try not to take it Personally. __________________________________________ For more information about Ecstatic Dance please visit https://ecstaticdance.org/about/ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________
