ECSTATIC DANCE

The dance serves as a form of meditation, helping people to cope with stress and to attain serenity. In the ancient and widespread practice of shamanism, ecstatic dance and rhythmic drumming are used to alter consciousness in spiritual practices.

the dance floor is a sacred space.

• be present. NO PHONES. NO CAMERAS.
• be embodied. NO TALKING.
• BE CLEAR. NO INTOXICANTS.
• BE CONSENSUAL. LISTEN FOR A YES. RESPECT A NO.
• BE HERE. NO OUTSIDE SHOES.
• BE FREE. DANCE HOW YOU WANT. NO JUDGEMENT. When we step on the dance floor, we include our whole selves,
