Dance Your Soul

Move your Body, Free your Mind! Move your body, Free your mind! Music is selected by each DJ specific to their vision for the dance.

Dance Your Soul is a community movement experience, also known as Ecstatic Dance, held in a safe space where individuals come together to tap into their inner guidance and express their life through dance. If this is your first dance, our Opening Circle will give you a short intro. One of our organizers or greeters will be happy to answer any questions before, during, or after the dance. We’d love

to hear what moved you! State guidelines for masks, distancing and other safety factors are changing. We ask that everyone adhere to public health regulations at the time of the event. We will offer a contactless entry option with online advance ticket purchase.

Emerging Waves is a space held by a 5Rhythms® Teacher in Training. In this 5Rhythms class, you
are invited to move through the 5Rhythms with simple guidance, giving space for your personal
expression. Music becomes the teacher alongside the Teacher in Training, supporting your
movement practice through the Waves map of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness.

For those new to 5Rhythms

5Rhythms offers a simple, physical exploration of how the body moves and how movement can free expression:

Flowing – we arrive in our bodies, guided by the feet, learning to trust the ground beneath us.

Staccato – we give shape to our energy, finding clarity, direction, and the confidence to express ourselves physically.

Chaos – we let the body loosen and unwind, allowing movement to release tension and open space inside.

Lyrical – we lighten, lift and rediscover the natural ease and creativity of the moving body.

Stillness – we soften into quiet motion listening for what is present in breath, weight and subtle shifts.

Together these Rhythms invite us to:

· Feel more grounded and connected to our physical body
· Release held tension
· Discover new pathways of movement and expression
· Increasing agility, ease and body awareness
· Meeting ourselves and others with curiosity

All bodies are welcome. All movement is welcome.

6/14 - Richfield Masonic Hall

This week’s open floor movement lab we will be exploring the resource of “Center.”

Centering is the movement towards connecting with oneself. We focus our attention on sensations inside the body, an internal balancing point or alignment. Knowing the dance between center and off-center provides a mover with a feeling of freedom and grace from within. Learning to center again and again teaches us how to find equilibrium when life knocks us off balance.
