About Ecstatic Dance

Ecstatic dance is a freeform movement experience where you can dance however you like, free from judgment or expectations. It’s a space to connect with music, let go of stress, and move in a way that feels good for you. With no talking on the dance floor, the focus is on self-expression, enjoyment, and being present in the moment. Whether you’re there to unwind or simply have fun, ecstatic dance is for everyone—no experience needed!

DANCE TEMPLE GUIDELINES (PLEASE READ)

THE FLOW:

Please arrive on time so that we may all journey together. We begin in silence and we end in silence. Upon entering the dance space, come into silence and sync in. When the set is complete, please remain in silence until guided otherwise or into a closing circle.

DANCING AND CONSENT

If you'd like to dance with someone be mindful of consent via body language and eye contact. A person's willingness to dance and exchange energy may change throughout the dance and from week to week. At any time, you or the person you are dancing with may choose to close the dance by moving away or bowing with hands in prayer.

TALKING

There is no talking on the dance floor. Limiting talking supports dancers to drop into the experience more fully. If you would like or need to have a conversation, please do so in the foyer. If you witness a conversation happening, you are welcome to gently remind people of this request (with a gesture).

KIDS

Parents are asked to kindly monitor their kids and keep them close (at arm's reach). If it's quiet (especially during opening and closing meditation and circle), and your kids aren't - please see that they are guided into relative silence. Otherwise we ask you to take them outside or to the foyer so as not to distract others from the proceedings.

PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES

Please respect each others space. Be mindful of your own needs and boundaries and feel free to communicate them. Be mindful of the needs of others. If unsure, ask before engaging in physical touch such as hugs and other physical touch.

ENERGETIC BOUNDARIES

Ecstatic Dance may result in a heightened sense of awareness and energetic sensitivity. Please be mindful of this and refrain from staring, watching or scanning other dancers. If unsure, ask yourself “where is my awareness and energy, now”? If it’s with someone else, call your energy and awareness back to your body.

CELL PHONE USE

Please refrain from using your cellphone on the dance floor, If you want or need to use your device, please do so in the foyer.

SWEATING

If you come and intend to sweat (like REALLY sweat), please bring a towel and clean the space around you from time to time - if the floor is wet from your sweat, stop, wipe off and clean up.Then, resume!!

SCENT-FREE SPACE

Please refrain from wearing perfumes.

SCREAMING

While sounds and cathartic releases are invited, we ask that you be mindful of the dancers in the space. Ongoing sounds and screaming can distract other dancers from their practice.

FOOTWEAR

Please dance barefoot or wear indoor shoes in the dance space.
