I decided the [Dance Awake ](https://danceawake.org/)website did a better job of describing this than I would: "Embark on a journey of self-discovery through conscious dance. A mindful movement practice for awakening to one's true nature and full potential."

It's super fun dancing in a room with other people; it's just about the only cardio that I find fun, and there's a difference knowing everyone is sober and intentional, rather than intoxicated dancing in a club. I have gone to these events all over the world (Ecstatic Dance), and Brian (the DJ) has a real talent for putting together these sets with a mix of music that goes from slow to fast and back again, like a wave.

I know it can be intimidating going for the first time, so I'm happy to meet with people outside before we start. Just remember, most people there are thinking about their own moves. Anything goes, so if you want to sit and meditate rather than dance - or sway, or lean on the wall - it's whatever works for you. The dance is nonverbal, though, so people leave the room if they need to chat.

If you can't make it for this week, - I'm there every Thursday, so feel free to reach out if you would like to connect before a different class.
