Ecstatic Dance Chicago is an extraordinary dance gathering that elevates culture and brings folks closer together. It offers a space that nurtures personal and communal joy through the practice of mindfulness, and authentic and inspired expression. You are invited to explore, to find your dance, to find your space, to be inspired, to stretch your comfort zone, to celebrate, and most importantly to have an amazing fun time.
