We're here for you :) ecstatic dance is an international movement where we dance in a certain frequency. It's a group journey that we embark on together, and being in that group frequency is what the experience is all about. To arrive at that, there are a few guidelines we hold dear: - Ecstatic dance is a conscious movement practice for all, we come as we are to share a journey together as a tribe, as one family. - The djset follows the shape of a wave: inviting you to explore stillness, flow, chaos, storytelling with the body, expressing, releasing, tapping into emotions and states of being, eventually returning to stillness. "Movement is a conversation with your own body that no one else needs to understand." - You are invited and encouraged to listen to your heart/body and always respond with choices that make your experience safe, personal and authentic for you throughout the whole day. - We dance barefoot to allow and feel the direct connection of our feet with the earth. - During the dance itself we do not speak. Communication is still encouraged, a facial expression can mean a thousand words, a hug can mean a million, the invitation is to drop into a state of deeper connection with the body and the senses rather than the mind. - Respect each other’s practice and space, always engage from a place of presence, notice the subtleties. - We collectively hold the space together and each dance has many seasoned dancers who are available at different times should you have questions. This is a safe space for you to be YOU and all that that means as your dance unfolds. (P.S. visit ecstaticdanceericeira.pt to book your spot without shotgun's added fees ;)
