No prior experience necessary. Dance Temple is a recurring weekly event, every Sunday. HOUSEKEEPING: ** HYGIENE & SCENT-FREE NOTES ** Please consider caring for yourself and others by: 1) Taking a shower before you arrive 2) If you tend to sweat, bring a towel to wipe up any wake you leave behind (a wet floor is not safe for dancing on) 3) Do not wear scented products of any kind in the dance space - we are a scent-free zone. ** CELL PHONE USE ** By popular request we have a 'no cell phone use' policy in the dance space. If you need to use your device, please do so in the foyer or outside. As you can imagine, it's distracting otherwise. ** KIDS ** Kids under 12 are free! AND -- Parents are asked to kindly monitor their kids, especially during the beginning and ending. If it's quiet, and your kids aren't - please see that they are guided into relative silence. Otherwise we will ask you to take them outside so as not to distract others from the proceedings. ** TALKING ** The dance floor is a no-talking zone. This is again done to remove any distractions and to allow for dropping in more fully. If you need to have a conversation, however brief, please step out into the foyer or go outside. If you witness a conversation happening, you are welcome to gently remind people of this request (with a gesture). ** DANCING ** Enjoy your own personal dance or spark up creative movement with others. If you wish to dance with another, look for eye contact or the body language of an invitation. At any time you, or the person you are dancing with, may choose to end the encounter by moving away, or bowing with hands in prayer. HERE'S MORE OF WHAT DANCE TEMPLE OFFERS: • Practice freedom of expression through movement, while respecting and being aware of those around you. • Tune into an eclectic selection of musical flavors from a revolving lineup of experienced facilitators. • Inspire and explore new ways to move your body. • Explore the altar space for contemplation, reflection and intention setting. • Learn to enter into a state of trance without the use of substances (no drugs or alcohol please). • Non denominational opening and closing (can be in the form of a prayer, meditation or circle) • Minimal facilitation. You are free to move as you wish. IN CLOSING: Please arrive early or on time so that we may all journey together. Bring a water bottle. Breathe. Take care of yourself, others and the space. Wear comfortable clothing for movement. Be prepared to sweat.
