I am SO excited to welcome the incredible Ashley Rutledge to Ecstatic Dance Troy on Feb 22 💛

Ashley has this rare gift… she helps people feel safe in their bodies again. Not by telling you what to do — but by listening. Deeply.

Her Somatic Activated Healing Method (SAH) is gentle, intuitive, and powerful. She guides you to release tension, emotions, and stories your nervous system has been carrying — through sensation, breath, and presence. People often leave her spaces feeling lighter, clearer, and more themselves.

She’ll be opening our journey with a somatic warm-up to help you land fully in your body… and closing with an integration so everything you moved can settle and anchor. This is where the magic really sinks in.

And I’ll be holding the ecstatic dance arc in between — the fire, the release, the freedom. Together, it’s a full nervous system reset.

We are almost sold out and Early Bird tickets end tonight at midnight 🔥 (link in bio)

THIS IS YOUR SIGN.

Early Bird ends Sunday at midnight.
After that… the door gets heavier to open.

Not because tickets disappear.
Because excuses get louder.

RSVP https://shorturl.at/26rHX

On Feb 22, we’re not just dancing.
We’re breaking through the layer that’s been keeping you small.

⚡ Ecstatic Dance Troy
⚡ Somatic Activated Healing Method with Ashley
⚡ Real movement. Real release. Real connection.

This one is different.
You’ll feel it the moment you walk in.

No talking.
No pretending.
Just your body remembering who you were before the world told you to hold back.

Come alone. Leave expanded.
Or come with someone ready to meet you beyond words.

Your nervous system knows the way.
All you have to do is show up.

🎟 Early Bird ends Sunday at midnight.
Don’t negotiate with the version of you that stays home.

Let’s dance. 🔥

📺 I was on TV this week.

Last Wednesday, I had the honor of being interviewed on Capital Region Today at the historic Proctors Theatre in Schenectady New York with the wonderful Ann Parrillo 🎭📺

I got to share about the love of my life + soul work:
🔥 Fire Horse Healing
🎭 Dietrich Rides Again
💃 Ecstatic Dance Troy

This interview was a reminder that when you follow your passions relentlessly, they do find their way into the world—sometimes onto a TV set you never imagined standing on.

I’m so grateful, so full, and so excited to keep building spaces where healing, art, movement, and truth get to live out loud.
✨ I can’t wait to see you at one of my events.

Keep following what lights you up.
The world actually needs that thing you love. 🔥💛

Thank you SO much to everyone who came to Ecstatic Dance Troy yesterday. 💛
What we’re building truly feels like a
💫TRIBE AWAKENING💫, a living, breathing community choosing presence, movement, and truth together.

Right now, dancing in community matters more than ever.
We dance to release what the body has been carrying, to shake off fear and numbness, to remember joy.
We dance to be seen without performance, to move without judgment, to feel free in our own skin.
And we dance together because healing accelerates in community, when one body frees itself, it gives permission for others to do the same. 🌀

I’m especially overflowing with gratitude for my incredible co-facilitator Laura Barron within 🌀who guided us through such a nourishing warm-up and a deeply grounding cool-down. Your presence, care, and embodied wisdom held the container so beautifully. Thank you. 🤍

✨ Next Ecstatic Dance Troy:
🗓 February 22
⏰ 12:00–2:00 PM
🎟️ https://shorturl.at/zDvGa

In three weeks, we’ll be stepping into the Fire Horse energy together, bold, alive, untamed, and true. 🔥🐎
Get your ticket early to catch the early bird discount, and come dance yourself home.

So much love and gratitude for this community. We’re just getting started. 💃🏽✨
