Here's an introduction to what we're about: Ecstatic Dance is a community gathering for people who want to express themselves in a playful and exploratory space with other people who value conscious connection, movement, and great music. We hold a nonverbal, barefoot, alcohol-free container to keep the journey intentional and lucid. Each DJ brings their unique interpretation of the "Ecstatic" style. This is a musical journey that moves through ambient, classical, jazz, house, bass, Afro-Latin, drum & bass, acoustic, and more! The rhythms are dynamic to help keep your movements spontaneous and fresh. Ecstatic Dance is a community space to get down, get weird, sweat, and connect. We encourage participants to utilize the Ecstatic Dance space as a laboratory for creative movement, unbridled self-expression, making authentic connections and releasing a healthy dose of sweat. *** Guidelines: 1. No talking on the dance floor 2. Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free environment 3. No photos or videos, cellphones muted and out of sight 4. Respect for the space and for one another 5.

Loose-fitting clothes that let you move your body freely. 2. Water and a water bottle. You can refill it at the venue. See you there!
