Durham Dance Wave Fridays7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Durham Dance Wave and Living Arts are cosponsoring this free form improvisational dance. Patterned on the Ecstatic Dance form this is an uninterrupted 90 minutes of unstructured dancing often as an individual though people may elect to dance as a couple or group. Socializing is discouraged during the dance. Ecstatic Dance was a form developed by Gabrielle Roth who referred to it as the 5 Rhythms.
