—— MORE ABOUT THIS ECSTATIC DANCE

This  Ecstatic Dance is a safe space for the whole community, an all-ages  dance journey space for Mind, Body, and Soul. Music is a language that  can carry you deep into the subconscious, beyond barriers you never knew  you had, and into colorful worlds of synesthesia where your body  becomes the instrument of bliss. The intent is uplifting, dancing that’s  good for you on all levels, and a portion of each dance goes to a  different local nonprofit each time, so you can feel good about taking  steps towards building a healthy community as well. We ask that there be  no talking, phones, shoes, food, or beverages on the dance floor, as  all our events at the People’s Theatre are drug and alcohol-free.
