Triangle Ecstatic Dance

03/02/2026

Yesterday, several brave and beautiful souls sought healing and upliftment through the practice of ecstatic dance. At least two were 80 years old!

It goes to show you that the arts, and especially dance, can connect across generations--providing much needed body regulation, peace, and oftentimes, prayer, in these current times.

For now, feel free to enjoy the ecstatic dance wave I shared yesterday...though it is unmatched in person! ;P (hint, hint!)

Blessings, dear ones and enjoy:

3 days left until our first ecstatic dance in Lake County, Florida!

Who are we, you may wonder?

We are Rory and Lanie (seen below at an ecstatic dance I, Lanie, facilitated over 2 years ago in Asheville, NC). We have been immersed in the ecstatic dance field for over 10 years--as dancers and facilitators--weaving dance waves from various world rhythms and music genres. Since 2021, we have been honing our facilitation for ecstatic dance up in Asheville, NC--playing sacred and healing music waves and holding space for over 100 folx at a time in a big school gym. Lanie is also a visionary artist trained in Expressive Arts and holistic counseling, while Rory brings a wealth of dance experience and is an accomplished musician.

We can attest to the healing that happens in this practice and cannot wait to share space with you!

See links in the comments below to sample the kinds of waves we facilitate. 👇👇👇

We will be holding space for our ecstatic dance in the beautiful sanctuary at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Lake County, a welcoming and inclusive place with loving people and lovely wooden floors. We will push chairs back, set the mood, and welcome all abilities as we journey together with our bodies and music.

Dance and dancing in community is a great way to regulate our nervous system, generate calm, ease mental chatter, and find new ways to connect to ourselves and to each other.

We will post some updated photos of the dance sanctuary later this week, so please enjoy these photos from the UUCLC.

Hope to see you soon! Aaaaaaaaand, remember to invite your friends!

A meta-analysis of 218 trials found it provides larger reductions in symptoms than walking, strength training, or antidepressants alone.
Dance simultaneously releases serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin while lowering cortisol. When performed in groups, it creates interbrain synchrony that strengthens social bonds. Researchers are now advocating for dance to be considered a front-line treatment for depression.
Whether in a living room or a ballroom, moving to the beat is proving transformative.

What is Ecstatic Dance?

It is ancient--our ancestors and kin danced in their communities to honor cycles, seasons, major life events, death, and everything in-between.

There is no better time to call each other together and move together in unity. You coming together to dance is what makes this practice unique, beautiful, and special.

Ecstatic dance is where:

* Your body is your guide...
* No speaking once you enter the dance space...
* Performing or watching others is discouraged...
* We practice kindness and drop judgments...
* Honoring how your body shows consent, 'yes' and 'no' in the space...
* No teachers tell you what moves to make...
* Everyone knows how to move...
* No drugs or alcohol, just your authentic selves!

We are really excited to bring this form of conscious free-style movement to the North Central Florida area!

Ecstatic dance, conscious dance, free-style dance -- whatever it is called, it has no teacher and encourages your body to be your guide as it feels different rhythms and moves with others in your community. This is a non-verbal space where we learn to get out of our monkey minds and into our bodies.

There is no better time like the present to find solace, community, and trust in our bodies and hearts. This practice assists us in doing so.
