Into Autumn Ecstatic Dance

🍂 Into Autumn Ecstatic Dance 🍂 As the wheel of the year turns and the golden hues of autumn begin to arrive, we invite you into an evening of soulful movement, nostalgic soundscapes, and heartfelt connection. This week’s dance is a journey into the tender magic of seasonal change — a space to move with the beauty of what is fading, what is remembered, and what is ready to be released. Expect a deeply emotive and soulful musical journey, weaving earthy beats, warm melodies, and waves of soulful rhythm that stir memory, feeling, and presence. From moments of softness and introspection to expansive expression and cathartic release, this dance honours the richness of the heart as we transition into the cooler months. Autumn teaches us the art of letting go. The leaves fall not in resistance, but in trust. This dance invites us to do the same. Bring whatever is alive in you — nostalgia, gratitude, grief, joy, longing, tenderness. Let it move. Let it breathe. Let it become part of the collective rhythm. Together we gather in community to sweat, soften, remember, and return to ourselves through movement in a welcoming, judgment-free space. This is a carefully curated ecstatic dance journey with room for emotional release, embodied expression, gentle connection, and a nourishing transition into autumn energy. Arrive as you are. Dance barefoot. Move however your body wishes. When : 7 pm Thursday April 9th Where : Mount Maunganui Community Hall 345 Maunganui Road, Mount Maunganui Cost : $25 cash on the door.
