About SRQ Ecstatic Dance

A global community where every body belongs—and dance becomes a path back to yourself.

Ecstatic Dance Sarasota (SRQ) is a space to move freely, release what you’re holding, and reconnect with your body through sacred movement and music. There’s no choreography, no expectations, and no right or wrong way to show up—just an invitation to listen, explore, and express.

Each dance is a shared container where we co-create a safe, intentional, and judgment-free environment together. Whether you're joining from home or in person, you are part of the experience.

Before we begin, we invite you to drop in, set your space, and review a few simple guidelines to support your journey and the collective energy of the dance.

A Few Guidelines for the Dance

Setting Up Your Space

You can do this dance outdoors, in your living room, at your desk, in your bedroom—anywhere.

Consider setting it up with minimal distraction. Light a candle, create an altar if that resonates, and make it special.

This is time FOR YOU. You can make it sacred through your intention.

It may be fun to explore dressing differently, using new spaces, and getting creative in how you want to be seen.

Guidelines for the Dance

  1. This is a focused movement practice for all. Listen to your body and make choices that keep your experience safe, personal, and authentic. Create a clear, open space and remove distractions as best you can.
  2. All movement is welcome—from small, subtle inner movement to full expression, stillness, witnessing, and dance.
  3. Consider being on or off screen—both are valuable. If you prefer privacy, angle your camera instead of turning it off. Explore connection with others or the group. If you're new, begin with your own experience and gradually expand.
  4. The music follows a wave format—stillness, flow, chaos, storytelling, and return. Stay present whether you like or dislike a song. Tools include stillness, breath, feeling your body, or even moving opposite to the music.
  5. You’re welcome to create art, write, move in unconventional ways, or witness others with loving awareness.
  6. Questions can be shared in the chat. Ask before “pinning” someone’s video. Respecting others and noticing subtleties builds awareness and communication.
  7. We hold this space together. During the dance, we remain silent—no talking. This is a safe space to be fully YOU. At the end, we reconnect, share, and often stay for casual conversation. Let’s begin.

Pautas para la danza

  1. Esta es una práctica enfocada en el movimiento para todes. Escuchen su cuerpo y respondan con elecciones que hagan su experiencia segura, personal y auténtica. Mantengan un espacio limpio y abierto.
  2. Todo movimiento es bienvenido—desde microdanzas hasta expresiones más amplias, quietud o contemplación.
  3. Sobre la cámara: cada elección es válida. Si no querés ser visto, podés redirigir la cámara. Explorá conexión con otra persona o el grupo. Si sos nuevo, comenzá con tu propia experiencia.
  4. La música invita a explorar calma, flujo, caos y regreso. Permanecé presente. Herramientas: quietud, respiración, sentir el cuerpo o moverte en contraste con la música.
  5. También podés expresarte a través del arte, la escritura o la observación amorosa.
  6. Podés usar el chat para comunicarte. Recomendamos pedir permiso antes de “pinear” a alguien. El respeto y la atención a las sutilezas fortalecen la conexión.
  7. Este espacio lo sostenemos colectivamente. Durante la danza permanecemos en silencio. Es un espacio seguro para ser VOS. Al final, compartimos e integramos juntos. ¡Comencemos!
