Ecstatic Dance and Contact Improvisation Workshop
Details
This Sunday Ecstatic Dance and Contact Improvisation Workshop
Ecstatic Dance is the practice of connecting to yourself and The Sacred through authentic spontaneous dance.
It is a room full of loving, holistically/spiritually minded people, tuning in and expressing their authentic selves through movement.
Some people dance wildly, some slowly, some stretch in the corner. Some people do Contact Improv, some people weave in and out all of the above.
This dance will feature a pre-dance "playshop" (workshop) on how do Contact Improvisation- a completely improvised form of dance with another.
Contact Improvisation is a fluid, improvised safe movement with another person. A wonderful blend of Yoga, Tai-Chi, Acrobatics with a partner, all "made up" on the spot.
In this workshop I will go over all the basics you need to know to dive into this amazing artform.
A big part of Ecstatic Dance is the fact that we do this together in community.
Hence, we'll go over things like initiating and ending dances- how to start a new dance and even how to gracefully say, "No thank you" if someone approaches you for a dance.
