RISE Ecstatic Dance

A weekly ecstatic dance at Alchemy: no steps to learn, just moving how your body wants to, alone or with others in the room. It opens with a 20 minute warm-up led by an instructor in a movement style such as yoga, qigong, contact improv, capoeira, kung fu, hip hop or acroyoga, which you can skip if you'd rather start dancing straight away. The session closes with a community circle and sound healing music to bring things down. Children aged 8 and up can join at no cost with a parent or guardian supervising throughout.
