What is Ecstatic Dance?
In our community, Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement practice that is experienced in conjunction with music. Together, we create a safe space to explore movements, sensations, and emotions that emerge in the present moment.
Any and all expressions are welcomed, provided that the foundations of safety and respect are maintained. Some may feel inspired to jump, wiggle, walk, lay down, sit and reflect, or squack like a bird! Silliness, seriousness, contemplativeness, and all other modes of experiencing are A-OK.
Who We Are
We’re an
informal, volunteer-led group of folks based in Madison, WI who meet to
experience movement, community, and connection within the unique container of
our practice. We value authenticity, respect, transparency, and openness in all
that we do while we’re sharing space together.
We welcome and celebrate diversity – people of all ages, ethnicities, sexual
orientations, gender identities, body types, spiritual backgrounds, etc., can
find a home at our dances.
The playlists
that we dance to are curated by members of the community – anyone is welcomed
to provide tunes for us to move to!
Feel free to join us and check it out, if you dig it.
