Rhythmic Rituals

We will dance! We will be danced. We will be Dance. Come tap the joy, the practice, the nourishment, and the healing of this ancient form. We will start low and slow, let the music lift and move us, shake it out, shake it through, and be delivered again, back to the earth. We’re dancing as a way to digest and integrate our lives, as well as a mode of self-expression and aliveness. We’re dancing as a somatic practice of relating and playing in and with the field. Moving together helps us access the alchemical magic of collective energy, releasing what is no longer serving, clearing these vessels, and welcoming in renewed lifeforce. Bodie will be our primary DJ with occasional visiting sound magicians. We’ll circle up briefly at the end to close. 9/11 featuring DJ Morimoon! To help build the container and keep the fire alive, we invite you to please: • Come for the whole practice. (If you can’t, come anyway. If your body needs to leave, by all means, honor it.) • Refrain from chatting on the dance floor. (This space is for moving together, more than catching up with friends.) • Feel free to bring kiddos. (As long as you or another adult can be attentive to their needs.) • Be aware of the boundaries of the other bodies on the dance floor. We celebrate touch and contact improv, but want to acknowledge the nuance involved in approaching contact non-verbally. Please be in the practice of conscious relating and watch for someone’s no.
