Ecstatic Dance Double Dragon

Welcome to Ecstatic Dance Kansas City! Ecstatic Dance is a beautiful freeform dance movement that started on the big island in Hawaii in the year 2000 and is now global.

This month, we get to dance to the combined forces of DJ Clandestine & DJ Attar, also known as Double Dragon! It's always a rare and special treat when DJ Attar is in town and this duo is back together. Can't wait to hear what they have in store for us!

Please take a moment to read them—they are the foundation of this practice. Although each Ecstatic Dance throughout the world is unique, these guidelines connect the web of all Ecstatic Dances together as one. (Move as You Wish) This is a space for authentic self-expression and freeform movement. (No Talking on the Dance Floor once the dance begins) This creates a focused, meditative experience for all. Sounds and emotional expression are welcome: Vocalizations like laughter, cheers, and even cries are completely accepted within the space. Please take conversations outside. (No Photos/Videos) We ask that you put your phone away and be fully present. This is a safe space for you to fully drop in. Photos and videos are not permitted. (No Shoes) Ground yourself and connect to the floor and the music. (No Substances:) This is a sober, drug and alcohol-free space. We get high on the dance itself! (Consent before dancing with someone) Dancing with others is beautiful, but If you are unsure about someone's interest in dancing with you, or if their eyes are closed, it is a "no". Dancers are encouraged to not take a "no" personally, as it may be due to someone's personal mood, experiences, or comfort level. Please note: ~ This event is for adults. No kids please. ~ Arrive showered and clean as it makes a world of difference as we dance (and sweat) together! Also, please refrain from wearing strong scents as many are sensitive to perfumes/colognes. Clean/natural is best. The Ecstatic Dance Experience: We begin with a 45 minute yoga class to warm up our bodies and prepare for dance. Our two hour dance journey is facilitated by a professional DJ and follows a wave-like arc. It begins with ambient, slow-tempo music to help you warm up, then builds in energy and intensity to a peak, and finally lands softly in a meditative space. We then close with a sound healing to help you integrate the experience. This practice has been a profoundly life-changing gift for me, and it is my absolute joy to share this magic with you. For nine years, this community has grown from a small seed into a beautiful co-creation, watered and nourished by every single one of us. Ecstatic Dance is a safe and sacred container for you to be your unique, authentic self. Thank you for being a part of this incredible community! This is my welcome home to you—home to your global Ecstatic Dance family, and home to yourself. See you on the dance floor! All my love, Jenny
