Can I contribute to the Altar?
Yes please! We encourage all members in our community to bring any offerings for the Altar
What shall I wear & bring?
Ecstatic Dance is a no booze-no shoes zone where you'll feel more comfortable wearing anything that allows you to move freely and comfortably. Remember that you will get ecstatic so try avoiding jewelry or clothing that might get entangled with others.
Bring a water bottle and please leave your valuables at home. If you feel inclined you may bring something to share at the Altar. We have a small vending area with high vibrational treats & elixirs so plan on bringing a little cash.
Can I bring pois, hoops and toys?
Yes, please do! We encourage a rich environment using all toys that helps us feel connected and embodied in the dance-floor, but be aware that dancers have priority, so please be respectful of others' space.
Why we can’t talk on the dance floor?
At Ecstatic Dance, we use dance as a vehicle to go deeper in ourselves and with others. This requires deep internal listening and feeling of oneself and our dance partners. Our safe environment encourages increased sensitivity. The social chit chatting disturbs those who are in deep dance/trance-meditation so we ask to respectfully take those conversations outside the dance floor into the vending/social area. If you need to talk on the dance floor please whisper by your partners ears so nobody else is disturbed.
Should I come with a Partner?
Not necessarily. People come to dance alone all the time. You may choose to dance with others once you’re there, or you may prefer to dance by yourself—or both.
Do I have to know how to dance?
Absolutely not. Ecstatic dance is about listening to the rhythms, textures, atmospheres generated by carefully crafted music and going through its journey, getting out of the heads and feeling deep into our bodies and seeing how they are moved by the music.
Ecstatic Dance is not about the way the movement looks, or following or imitating anyone else. it’s about how it feels to you and trusting that movement to unfold from the inside out. At Ecstatic Dance, you will see a great variety of dances in any given moment – from flowing Tai Chi-esque moves to hopping up and down to break dancing to simply walking or sitting in meditation.
Move however you feel...
Are Children Welcomed?
Yes! Children are welcomed as long as they are supervised and not disruptive. Remember that the Dance Temple is a no-talk environment and children need to understand and respect the space like everyone else. We welcome all joyous dance expressions but no running around uncontrolled while participants are relaxing in sivasana.
