Your first and forever dance partner is You. I invite you to deepen the connection with Self through this guided class and Ecstatic Dance Journey.
Ecstatic Dance has taught me so much, and continues to teach me about myself, My connection to others, and how i can better move througout this world. Everything I teach, can be applied on and off the dance floor ❤️ Heal your relationship with dance, or simply deepen this practice of Self love and Devotional Movement.
For much of My life i have been afraid to dance alone. Fears coming in of being judged that I don't have someone, that no one would want to dance with me. That my dance would be judged as attention seeking, too sexy, or not sexy enough. I felt embarrassed and ashamed of my yearning for a partner, yet did not know how to ask my SELF to dance. Dance has taught me to be my own partner, how to ask another to dance, and how to let go of a partner when it just doesnt feel good. All of these things are okay, partnership is a beautiful thing, but You also do not need to be in a romántic relationship or even know another person to have a really beautiful connection on or off the dance floor. Fall in love with yourself, fall in love with the dance of LIFE.
Ecstatic dance is traditionally non verbal so the ONLY way to connect with another is through dance, eye contact, mirroring, and touch.
Contact Improv will teach You to be your own partner, connect and interact with the room, as well as HOW to safely and consentually connect with another human. There is no skillset for this practice other then the willingness to be present with the body, and let go of the stories youve told yourself about dance. You do not need a partner to feel connected here, though there will be an invitation to play with others, through partner games, and group excersices. Every practice is just an invitation to explore, and there is no perfect steps or destination, we are here to savor and enjoy this ever changing flow, in the the dance of LIFE.
