Raleigh Ecstatic Dance<br> 7:30 pm - 10:00 pmThe 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 improvisation, or ad lib group. The experience can be meditative or spiritually oriented for some individuals. Dancers of all ages are welcome and there typically is no talking during the dance. Dance opening circle begins somewhere 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 warm up prior to opening circle. Donations of $5-20 recommended, but usually not required. No one will be refused for lack of funds. Funds go towards the costs of holding weekly dances, a contact improvisation scholarship fund, or charitable donations rather than the volunteer organizers. Dance occurs at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh (usually Founders Hall, sometimes Clara Barton Room). Dance sometimes occurs outdoors at Pullen Park (across the street from the aquatic center), Raleigh Rose Garden, Wooten Meadow Park, Dorothea Dix Park (Big Field or Spring Hill Park & Ride), or other outdoor locations. Dance sometimes occurs on Fridays (usually at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh Main Sanctuary) 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 latest information on exact location and times since they can change last minute. This event listing is sometimes updated for location or date changes but the exact time isn’t always given the dance operates on uncertain hippie time.
