What we’re about
Awaken your unique inner dance!
Ecstatic Dance is focused on the practice of authentic, spontaneous, expressive, meditative movement. It provides an environment for people to authentically and safely express themselves. It is a space free of judgment. It is a place to feel, move and heal, so that we can get more in touch with our true selves.
Ecstatic Dance is about giving yourself permission to dance without holding back. To dance without concern about being aesthetic, graceful, disciplined, or contained as we're so often taught that dance is about.
- Non-choreographed: No steps to learn and no need to try to keep up; You decide how to move and at what tempo.
- Non-competitive: Purpose is to dance as if no one is watching, rather than to perform or compete against others. Just relax & be yourself.
- No dance experience needed, just a willingness to move and be moved.
- People of all ages, shapes, and sizes are welcome.

Find Your Unique Inner Dance
Join us to explore your innermost self through authentic, free-form movement using a moving meditative practice known as Ecstatic Dance. A great way to relax, feel grounded, embody emotions, and connect with a higher power. Designed for those who have tried sitting meditation in the past and struggled with it, or those who are looking to compliment their existing meditation routine.
The goal is to deeply relax, tune into whatever you’re feeling (mind + body + spirit), and gently move in any way that feels comfortable to you. This is accomplished through guidance from an experienced facilitator, in a safe space where you can feel at ease with however you want to express yourself.
Adults of all ages and fitness levels are welcome! No experience is needed. All you need is the desire to move and be open to the journey.
How to Dress & What to Bring:
- Dress comfortably in loose fitting clothing, preferably in layers so that you can adjust your body temperature accordingly.
- Bring water, a yoga mat, towel, and journal to capture your insights (optional).
