WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?!? Ecstatic dance is a free-form movement - or dance - that's intended to lead to a feeling of ecstasy. It's a spirit-full practice that involves dancing without judgment or expectations, and without the need for a partner nor any dance experience. There are no steps to learn or follow - just the movement of your own body. Ecstatic Dances are often led by a DJ, sometimes with live drumming performances, and feature music that moves from slow to peak to stillness. The goal is to create a healing journey that takes participants from slow to unwinding to ecstasy, and then towards peace and serenity. Ecstatic dance has been around since ancient times and has been revived in the West since the 2000s. Ecstatic Dance Jersey spaces are safe and inclusive, welcoming ALL ages, ALL abilities, and individuals from ALL walks of life to freely express themselves through movement. No prior dance experience is required, just come as you are! No alcohol. No substances. Let the music and dance be your medicine. THIS is what LOVE looks like...All ages are welcome to become part of this vibrant community and share this journey of self-exploration, self-acceptance, and sacred ceremony. Questions?
