EarthDancer returns from her summer tour djing across the Pacific NorthWest bringing with her, fresh new eclectic sounds to bless us up on the dance floor! Join us for a lively community gathering of dance and re-connection. Community potluck and socializing following dance. Please bring a snack to share!


♥♥♥

Ecstatic Dance Foothills creates connection and brings people together through movement in sacred and ecstatic ways. An enriching space for community to gather for connection to self, spirit and others through musical weavings of all genres. A place to be held, seen and supported, to dance and be danced within the great mystery.

For those of you who are not familiar with Ecstatic Dance, It is a safe and fun space to express yourself through movement in whatever way feels right. It is whatever you make it… From the Ecstatic Dance website:
“A freeform movement space where:
Dance expands | Spirit activates | Boundaries melt | Boredom ceases | Creativity breaks out | Hope happens | Beauty flows | Community collaborates | Ritual is reinvented”

♥Ecstatic Dance Foothills is a safe space, dedicated to holistic connection

~COMMUNITY GUIDELINES~

CONVERSATION FREE SPACE - to honor each individuals process we humbly request no talking on the dance floor, Please carry your conversations outside.
CONSENT/BODY AWARENESS- We encourage consensual interaction and connection on the dancefloor. Please be mindful and sensitive when initiating contact, use deep listening and body awareness. This means looking and feeling into the other persons 'YES'
Some suggestions for non verbal ways to initiate connection are: mirroring their dance moves, offering a hand, making eye contact and smiling. One universal way to let someone know you are not interested in engaging is hands to the heart in a 'namaste' or prayer form. Please respect a "NO' and don’t take it personally, just redirect yourself and keep dancing.

BARE FEET - no outside shoes in the space, if needed indoor dance shoes can be worn
SET YOUR-CELL FREE - Please leave your technology in your car or bag!
SUBSTANCE FREE - This is mind-altering-substance free environment, this is a sacred space.

~Please bring a re-usable water bottle, there is well water on tap
