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!

We honor moving as the music inspires you in a judgement-free space designed to inspire easeful presence and energetic flow. FLOW is an opportunity to connect with your self, shake up your patterns, let free-form inspiration abound, and co-create a transformative experience. Let carefully crafted musical journeys allow you to process emotions, exercise your body and mind, lift your spirits, and be welcomed by a vibrant local community as part of a global family in ecstatic expression. You can engage in the dance as you wish… through movement, meditation, expansion, observation, introspection, development, and connection. Ecstatic Dance is happening everywhere: Hawaii, Belgium, San Francisco, Berlin, New York, Seattle, Paris, Goa, London, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Ibiza and more! Join a worldwide family and connect in the universal language of collective expression 💜 You’ll be amazed at what emerges when you let go and just dance! #ComeAsYouAre #MoveAsYouWish #DanceYourTruth
