SUMMARY:Cancelled!  Raleigh Ecstatic Dance
DESCRIPTION:The Dance For May 7 is Cancelled as people are going to Shakori
  Festival and it will resume the next week.\n\nThe dance wave is a form of
  ecstatic dance characterized as 90 minutes of speechless improvisational 
 dance based somewhat on the 5 Rhythms Ecstatic Dance concept of Gabrielle 
 Roth. This can be either solo dancing\, partner dancing\, contact improvis
 ation\, or ad lib group. The experience can be meditative or spiritually o
 riented for some individuals. Dancers of all ages are welcome and there ty
 pically is no talking during the dance. Dance opening circle begins somewh
 ere between 6:30 to 8 PM depending upon the location (indoors tends to be 
 7:30-8 PM) and time of year. Sometimes there is yoga or another optional w
 arm up prior to opening circle. Donations of $5-20 recommended\, but usual
 ly not required. No one will be refused for lack of funds. Funds go toward
 s the costs of holding weekly dances\, a contact improvisation scholarship
  fund\, or charitable donations rather than the volunteer organizers. Danc
 e occurs indoors at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh (usua
 lly Founders Hall\, but sometimes Main Sanctuary) or sometimes at The Port
 al HQ. Dance sometimes occurs outdoors at Pullen Park (across the street f
 rom the aquatic center)\, Raleigh Rose Garden\, Wooten Meadow Park\, Dorot
 hea Dix Park (Big Field or Spring Hill Park &amp\; Ride)\, or other outdoo
 r locations. Dance sometimes occurs on Fridays instead of Thursdays. Dance
  when outdoors is weather dependent\, but will usually occur during light 
 rain. See Raleigh Ecstatic Dance Facebook group (or if need ask about the 
 ecstatic dance community private Discord server) on the event day for late
 st information on exact location and times since they can change last minu
 te. This event listing is sometimes updated for location or date changes b
 ut the exact time isn't always given the dance operates on uncertain hippi
 e time.
