Ecstatic Dance has landed in LA! Feel INSPIRED and come enjoy everything you love about dance clubs, without talking, drinking, long lines, velvet ropes, and club scene nonsense!

This is all about getting great exercise, freeing your mind and body, and connecting with yourself and with your community in a safe, healthy space.

If you want to just DANCE then this is the place for you. The fearlessness with which others leap, roll, strut, and be themselves gives you permission and courage to dance your pain, fear, anger and joy. Come roll, skip, prance, sashay, promenade, sweat and stretch - all without any judgment.

Our focus is community bonding, clean/healthy living, no judgment, and a safe place of RESPECT where you can be yourself in a big group setting.

The Rules of Ecstatic Dance:
1. No talking on the dance floor (plenty of room to talk off-floor)
2. Scent-Free, Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free environment
3. No photos or videos, cellphones quiet and out of sight
4. Respect the space and each other
5. Dance however you wish
6. You can dance alone, or with as many partners as you like. If you'd rather not dance with someone, thank them by placing your hands in prayer at your heart.

AT THE END OF EACH ECSTATIC DANCE SESSION, WE CONVENE IN A COMMUNITY CIRCLE FOR COOLDOWN, SHARING AND CONNECTION.

What to Bring:
1. Loose-fitting clothes that let you move your body and free yourself
2. A bottle of Water or other non-alcoholic beverage to keep yourself hydrated
3. A towel (most of our gatherings end up with a roomful of happy, joyful, sweaty people)
4. A chill attitude of respect and connection with yourself and others.
