Ecstatic dance, which is sometimes referred to as trance dance, is about AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT, not simply a disco dance scene (PLEASE WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO ATTACHED IN OUR "ABOUT US" SECTION), and is based on the tenets of shamanism and has been used for eons as a method for dream change. It’s a multi-layered experience that takes the dancer on an inner journey to connect him to other sources of guidance, activate abilities to re-invent him, or invite spirit or life force energy to embody and heal him. The demands, addictions, and over-rational beliefs of the modern world, however, have served to impede its flow and fragment this awareness away from us, taking with it other vital aspects of the self. E.D. helps restore this vital flow of life force and recover lost parts of the soul in the process. It is a way to re-member ... our body-mind complex ... and reveals our interconnections within the greater web of life and seeks to identify and consciously change the dreams that no longer serve our well-being.
