The idea of ecstatic dance is to completely lend yourself and your body to the rhythm, leading to a state of trance and ecstasy (hence the name "ecstatic"). Exploring sensations within the body, noticing what wants to be moved, observing any thoughts, images, and feelings that arise as the body releases into the rhythm and flow of the music.
Each class's playlist is crafted to lead the dancer on a journey through various states of conscious awareness, ranging from deep introspection to joyful play, encouraging your full and total embodiment. While there may occasionally be suggestions or invitations shared by the facilitator during the dance to encourage greater body awareness, this is free form movement.
No dance experience is needed. Come immerse yourself in the music and movement and enjoy the experience!
