Each class focuses in on a specific area of the body, revealing how it functions and its connection to the whole.

Radiant Rhythms Ecstatic Dance is an interactive immersive experience where everyone is invited to free expression through dance and movement. You can move however you like, there is no right or wrong way. All emotions are welcome, joy, sadness, love, grief, but mostly, it's joy! The goal is to get out of your head and get in touch with your body, surrender and let go of judgment. In ecstatic dance, we co-create a safe space to be our authentic selves. You are free to be beautiful, silly, free, and be you! The benefits of ecstatic dance include: relieve stress and tension, mindfulness and relaxation, somatic healing, exercise and play, being our most authentic selves, community and connection.
No experience necessary! We will provide instructions and ease you into the practice. The event begins with an opening circle where we get to know each other and share intentions, followed by an hour and fifteen minute playlist, and a closing circle to share reflections. We will spend time before and after the dance connecting in community. During the dance, there is no talking. This helps us to connect with our bodies and each other nonverbally. The result is often a trance-like and ecstatic experience.
An Inclusive Space: All ages, genders, sexual orientation, and abilities welcome.
Music: A mix of new age, worldbeat, tribal, EDM, trance, arranged in a dance wave, from slow to fast to slow. It is typically 50% non-lyrical.
What to bring: Water bottle, short sleeve, loose clothing, expect to get sweaty! Yoga mat (optional).
