Respect yourself and one another 2. Dance barefoot (or non-street shoes) 3. Conversation & cellphone use outside the dance space "At Ecstatic Dance, we join together to create a sacred space for dancing. No talking on the dance floor allows us to move out of our heads and into our bodies, hearts, and spirits. We leave behind the words and worries of the day, and connect with spirit and each other in new ways." - Donna Carrol (Co-Founder Ecstatic Dance Oakland) Consider... 1. Wearing loose-fitting clothes that let you move your body and free yourself 2. Bringing a snack and water. You can refill it at the venue. 3. Offering your business card or flyers for networking ❉❉ Connect with inquiry before assumption, give yourself permission to be present and free of digital distractions, enjoy a natural high, and co-create the experience with consideration. ☯️ STAY CONNECTED Follow our page FlowHo :: Ecstatic Dance Florence/Northampton Find us on Instagram at "FlowNoHo" RIDE-SHARE Group!
