SUMMARY:Raleigh Ecstatic Dance
DESCRIPTION:The dance wave is a form of ecstatic dance characterized as 90 
 minutes of speechless improvisational dance based somewhat on the 5 Rhythm
 s Ecstatic Dance concept of Gabrielle Roth. This can be either solo dancin
 g\, partner dancing\, contact improvisation\, or ad lib group. The experie
 nce can be meditative or spiritually oriented for some individuals. Dancer
 s of all ages are welcome and there typically is no talking during the dan
 ce. Dance opening circle begins somewhere between 6:30 to 8 PM depending u
 pon the location (indoors tends to be 7:30-8 PM) and time of year. Sometim
 es there is yoga or another optional warm up prior to opening circle. Dona
 tions of $5-20 recommended\, but usually not required. No one will be refu
 sed for lack of funds. Funds go towards the costs of holding weekly dances
 \, a contact improvisation scholarship fund\, or charitable donations rath
 er than the volunteer organizers. Dance occurs at the Unitarian Universali
 st Fellowship of Raleigh (usually Founders Hall\, sometimes Clara Barton R
 oom). Dance sometimes occurs outdoors at Pullen Park (across the street fr
 om the aquatic center)\, Raleigh Rose Garden\, Wooten Meadow Park\, Doroth
 ea Dix Park (Big Field or Spring Hill Park &amp\; Ride)\, or other outdoor
  locations. Dance sometimes occurs on Fridays (usually at the Unitarian Un
 iversalist Fellowship of Raleigh Main Sanctuary) instead of Thursdays. Dan
 ce when outdoors is weather dependent\, but will usually occur during ligh
 t rain. See Raleigh Ecstatic Dance Facebook group (or if need ask about th
 e ecstatic dance community private Discord server) on the event day for la
 test information on exact location and times since they can change last mi
 nute. This event listing is sometimes updated for location or date changes
  but the exact time isn't always given the dance operates on uncertain hip
 pie time.
