Red Tent Women’s Only Ecstatic Dance Sarasota
Red Tent Ecstatic Dance is a monthly women’s-only gathering designed to create a safe, supportive, and empowering space for women to move, release, reconnect, and be witnessed in authentic expression.
A Monthly Women’s Gathering for Movement, Expression & Connection
Held monthly in Sarasota and guided by DJ Kat, this experience combines ecstatic dance, conscious movement, community ritual, emotional release, and feminine connection inside a welcoming and non-judgmental environment.
This is not about performance.
This is not about appearance.
This is not about dancing correctly.
This is about creating space for women to reconnect with:
their bodies
emotions
creativity
sensuality
intuition
softness
strength
inner freedom
Whether you arrive feeling energized, emotional, playful, overwhelmed, disconnected, curious, shy, or open-hearted—you are welcome here.
What Is Red Tent Ecstatic Dance?
Red Tent Ecstatic Dance is part of a larger global movement of conscious dance and women-centered gathering spaces where movement becomes a pathway for healing, emotional release, empowerment, creativity, and presence.
This monthly gathering invites women into a free-form dance experience with:
no choreography
no dance experience required
no pressure to socialize
no expectation to perform
Participants are invited to move however feels natural to their body in the moment.
Some women dance powerfully.
Some move slowly and meditatively.
Some cry.
Some laugh.
Some stretch quietly.
Some close their eyes and stay deeply inward.
Every experience is different.
All authentic expression is welcome.

You Are Not Alone in This Experience
Women come to ecstatic dance from all walks of life—some feeling burned out and disconnected, some in seasons of emotional release or transition, some seeking community, and others simply craving a deeper connection to their bodies through movement. Whether you are quiet and inward, expressive and expansive, new to somatic practices, or deeply experienced, this space holds room for your process exactly as it is.
Here, somatic healing happens through presence, music, and movement in community—without pressure to perform or be anything other than yourself.
