What is Ecstatic Dance?
Dancing where you abandon yourself to the rhythm and move freely as the music takes you. No dance or movement experience necessary. Our group is inspired by many dance forms, namely The 5 Rhythms – a movement practice developed by Gabrielle Roth, to help guide our playlists. The rhythms: flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical and stillness help to build up our energy and slowly move us back down – like a Wave.
The Wave is 16 years old and up and is substance free. We want parents to be free from responsibilities while they dance and so we can create a safe container.
If you have never done anything like this before – that’s okay – just come with an open heart and mind. 🙂
