guide
ecstatic dance at home: your living room is the dance floor.
you don't need a venue, a scene, or the courage to walk into a room. you just need your headphones or a speaker, a little space and 90 minutes of time - time you gift yourself in an act of self-love.
set up your dance spot
find a little space where you feel safe to let go. it doesn’t need to be big:
- a little space - enough to move your arms and turn around, and a spot on the floor to lie down at the end.
- headphones or a speaker - headphones take you deepest inward; a speaker gives you more freedom to move.
- barefoot - it grounds you more than shoes or socks.
- phone on “do not disturb” - it’s a distraction - regard this as 90 minutes of therapy or meditation.
- eyes closed - turn your attention inward, and let no one watching become no one to perform for.
alone in our homes, moving together
you can put on music and dance on your own anytime. what makes WeDance different is that it’s a live online ecstatic dance: every sunday, hosts & DJs guide our whole community through the same journey at the same moment - with meditation, dance & sound healing.
“camera on, camera off, or just your dancing feet; you decide.”

2. find your dance spot, at home. a little space where you feel safe to let go.

questions about dancing at home
what do I need to join?
just a phone, tablet, or laptop with zoom - and ideally headphones (a loudspeaker works too). plus a little space to move in and somewhere you feel safe to let go. that’s it. no equipment, no experience, no dance skill.
do I have to be on camera?
no - camera on or off, you decide. many keep it off and close their eyes, some show just their dancing feet. you are completely free to move, cry, sing, or lie still. it’s you and the music, with our whole community doing the same thing at the same moment.
what if strong emotions come up?
they’re welcome. people laugh, cry, shake, release. that’s not a side effect - it’s often the whole gift. whatever moves through you - joy, sadness, anger, relief - you’re allowed to feel it here. (this is a space for release, not a substitute for therapy or medical care.)
can I join from my phone?
yes. we dance together on zoom - on your phone, tablet, or computer. you get your personal zoom link by email 1 hour before the dance (it’s also on your live page). put your headphones in or connect your speaker(s) - and camera on or off, you decide.
