The closest regular ecstatic dance is in Arlington Heights at Mainwood Dance Club, about 20 minutes from downtown Schaumburg.

Ecstatic dance is a sober, barefoot, free-form movement practice. A DJ holds a wave — warm-up, rise, peak, descent, stillness — and you move however your body wants to. No steps, no partner, no talking on the floor.
90 minutes of hand-picked music, shaped into a real arc — soft opening, rise, peak, descent, stillness.
No alcohol, no shoes, no phones on the floor. A clean container for whatever's alive.
