What's Ecstatic Dance?
…is a powerful experience that with the help of an exclusive music selection and spontaneous movement in a clean and protected space frees your mind and body.
…is to move freely, play, romp and meditate to find yourself dancing without any judgment.
...it's a healthy community space to respect the others where beauty explodes

Max Fathom
Max came to the conscious dance movement through the ” doorway” of a 5 Rhythms group in Austin,Texas called Body Choir. After 5 years with that group he moved to Hawaii and started Ecstatic Dance Big Island. This group spawned many other groups around the country, the largest of which is Ecstatic Dance East Bay, which itself has spawned many groups around the country, as well as the planet. This movement is expanding.
"I feel like my particular contribution to the conscious dance movement and specifically what is now commonly referred to as Ecstatic Dance, has to do with combining the electronic dance music that is part and parcel of the DJ culture and the 5 Rhythms or Wave format that was created by Gabrielle Roth. The wave is a perfect fit for facilitating ritual, community dance space.
I enjoy using electronic music for these events, equally I have a vast musical collection and nothing is off limits if I believe that it will inspire, motivate, move and touch the participants on the dance floor. I am excited to see this movement grow because I believe it is a valuable and worthwhile contribution to our New Earth and our awakening human collective.
