Ecstatic Dance!
April 6 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
$30.00 – $35.00
Welcome to Ecstatic Dance NJ!
Join us on Sunday, April 6 at 4pm for a deeply transformative evening of ecstatic dance, where movement becomes a form of pure expression!
What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic dance has deep roots in ancient and indigenous traditions, where dance was used as a form of spiritual practice, healing, and communal connection.
This is a substance-free, judgement-free, intuitive dance environment for people to move freely, express themselves, and experience dance as a form of meditation, connection, and celebration. DJ Omar Aena will take us on an immersive journey with his soulful beats from mystical music traditions from across the globe. You’ll have the chance to connect deeply into your body, explore the boundaries of your movement, and connect into your creative spirit. There will be space to connect with community, get an oracle card reading, sample some tasty elixirs, and experience massage. You will leave feeling rejuvenated and inspired. Come as you are – let go and be FREE!!
This is a global movement with events happening in cities all over the world, and the founders of Ecstatic Dance NY are working with us to launch Ecstatic Dance NJ.
This is a substance-free event. People of all ages are welcome with an open heart, mind and spirit. The Space is a judgement-free zone for everyone to explore their creative spirit. Talking and conversation will be limited on the dance floor and reserved for designated areas.
Wear comfortable clothes that you can move it. You’ll be asked to remove your shoes, so you can dance barefoot or with socks.
Light fruit snacks, teas and juices will be available for hydration throughout the event.
Oracle card readings will be available by Jessica Diana.
Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 the week before.
