Through dance, we believe everyone can discover, explore, unleash, and enhance their individual potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. By engaging our senses and listening to our bodies, we connect to others and shape a consciousness that extends beyond our own. ~ Some Loving Guidelines ~ In order to create the ideal container, let's: ~ Allow ourselves freedom from cell phones ~ Let go of judgments of self and others – your dance is your unique expression ~ Connect with our bodies while respecting our “yes” and honoring our “no” ~ Be mindful to the boundaries of others and the space that we share ~ Let our dance be our voice, instead of words, during the ecstatic dance ~ Give our feet back their soul by removing our shoes in the movement space ~ Respect the privacy of the container so that our truest expression can be unlocked Please - ~ No shoes, cell phones, or photography in the movement space ~ Reserve conversations for the community spaces during the ecstatic dance ~ Practice consent - let’s do our best to make this is a safer space ~ Be clear-minded - this is a substance/alcohol-free event :) The event is for ages 18+ (except for special dates) Our goal is to create loving and inclusive events. This will be a safer space for people of all colors, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations. Please practice proper consent and be mindful of the friends around you.
