About the Event:

Ecstatic dance is all about getting your body moving and connecting with your physical self! You can bob your head, tap your foot or go all out and jam with the DJ. This is a drug-free zone and all dancers are encouraged to let their body express in whatever way comes up for you.

Benefits of Dance:

Dancing builds neuroplasticity, a space to express yourself, a way to connect with your physical body, releases endorphins, boosts dopamine, reduces symptoms of depression, reduce stress, loosens joints, provides a fun way to exercise, helps you find community and connect with others, and so much more!
