Why dance
What an hour on the floor does
- Creates a pattern interrupt, helping you shift perspective.
- Encourages expression and emotional release.
- Promotes connection and co-regulation with the people around you.
- Invites silliness and playfulness, breaking stress patterns.
- Dance is one of the most accessible ways to listen to your body's instincts.
- Challenges balance, engaging the vestibular system.
- Boosts endorphins — try not to smile during a dance party.
- Shifts focus from worries to the present moment.
The room
The Gathering Lighthouse
A small nonprofit education and healing center in downtown Lombard that hosts Yolanda Lozano's evening ecstatic dance every other month — dance, sound journey, then herbal tea and a share circle. Registration happens on the Lighthouse's own event calendar.
The Gathering Lighthouse is a nonprofit center on Park Avenue in downtown Lombard offering classes, circles and healing work — a covered brick storefront next to a Montessori preschool, easy to miss until you spot the Welcome Home sign in the window.
Yolanda Lozano has brought ecstatic dance here as an evening offering, including a Saturday dance with cacao in June 2026 alongside Laura Barna. It now runs on a roughly every-other-month rhythm.
The Gathering Lighthouse is a small nonprofit center, not a club — a storefront room on Park Avenue. Street parking is the norm downtown.
