Uncover the ecstasy inside of your soul with a break-out-of-your-box dance experience for any body.
Open your heart, embody your truth, activate your voice, connect to yourself and your commUNITY at a JOYRISE Ecstatic Dance.
We start the dance off with intention in an opening circle to connect to ourselves & each other. We begin moving with light, guided stretching & embodiment, transition into freeform movement and later come back into stillness with a short meditation or reflection. We come back to a circle at the end to symbolize unity. Every dance experience is dependent upon the flavor of your event! We can provide a shorter, more structured “dance journey” class or a larger scale dance experience featuring live performers &/or sound healers.
We’re all about PDF.. public displays of FREEDOM! Self-expression through movement & non-verbal communication is not only healing but uplifting. Ultimately, the dance is YOUR experience... it can be a fun party & a nice workout or a deeply cathartic release. It all starts with your intention. :)
Our carefully curated playlist incorporates a wide variety of genres from downtempo electronic music to percussive African, Latin & Asian beats and many flavors in between.
Rebekah Joy (soul-full events facilitator & circle leader) brings healing, intentional ecstatic dance experiences to festivals, yoga studios, retreat centers, schools, universities (even senior centers!) all over the United States.
Wherever you may find us, our dance experiences will always be family-friendly, sober, inclusive, & intentional.
