“Ecstatic dance is built on a foundation of principles that guide the experience to be enriching and fulfilling for all who partake. The first principle is authenticity, which encourages participants to embrace their true selves on the dance floor. This means letting go of any preconceived notions of what dance should look like and instead, moving in ways that reflect your genuine emotions and energy. It's about honoring your body's desire to jump, swirl, stomp, or glide, in alignment with the music and your inner feelings.”
