Start the evening with an optional pre-dance class, designed to help deepen your experience of the dance and get to know other dancers. Then we move on to a two hour unstructured, ecstatic dance journey led by world-class DJs. We finish with a group meditation.
From 7:00-7:30 pm, join the pre-dance class. This is a chance to warm-up, drop in, and learn new ways to navigate the dance floor while deepening your connection with others. There will be connection exercises with the group and with others, but this is not a contact improv class.
