What is ecstatic dance?
Ecstatic dance is free-form movement to a continuous music journey. There's no choreography, no partner and no talking on the floor. You simply move the way your body wants to, for as long as you want.
Close to home

Arlington Heights · Palatine · Schaumburg · Buffalo Grove · Mount Prospect · Prospect Heights · Rolling Meadows · Hoffman Estates · Wheeling · Des Plaines · Inverness · Barrington · Northbrook · Elk Grove Village
Why Sunday morning
A morning dance fits around family, work and sleep. You move, you rest, you share tea with people who just did the same thing, and you still have your whole Sunday afternoon.
