Ecstatic Dance by Soul Movement – Vaughan
Saturday July 22, 2017 from 7 – 11 PM
Dance Passion Studio
300 Trowers Road, Unit 6, Vaughan, Ontario L4L 5Z9
It is with great excitement that we invite you to the Grand Inauguration of ECSTATIC DANCE VAUGHAN by Soul Movement on Saturday July 22nd at 7 pm.
A regular event taking place every two months in the Vaughan area.
The Grand inauguration is FREE TO ALL on a first come first served basis, so be sure to register as soon as possible to secure your ticket ♥
Our intention for these events is to create a space in the Northern suburbs of Toronto where Community can come together and co-create in harmony a space of Healing, a space of Self-Expression through Dance, Yoga, Meditation and Sacred Ceremonies; a safe space free of judgement where we are all united as a soul family beyond the divisions of age, gender, class, creed or status.
Ecstatic Dance – or free form dance – is an invigorating mind body practice of uncensored spontaneous movement for people just like you who love to dance when no one’s watching. Just think of it as rockin’ out to your favorite tunes at home, only So. Much. More. Imagine recess – grownup style – as a group of friends drop inhibitions and let loose; animating the room into a dynamic and interactive playground engendering total freedom of expression. Going through the wave of movement and feelings of catharsis and release together generates a unifying experience for participants akin to tribe. People bond easily and effortlessly. Many newcomers find this to be their first authentic place of belonging in town.
The SoulMovement DJ’s will be hosting you on the dance floor with our signature mix of Shamanic Tribal House, Progressive, NuDisco, Native Indian, African and NewAge music 🎶
We are currently welcoming applications from Healers, Vendors, Artists and anyone in the Community to reach out to us via the Soul Movement inbox for collaboration opportunities.

RHYTHMWOOD GROOVE – A Conscious Free Style Dance Evening – Lion’s Head, ON
Last Friday of the month 7:30 – 9:30 pm . Date may shift so please check http://www.Rhythmwood.ca
This evening of free style dance, also known as ecstatic dance, is very lightly facilitated. There is an opening circle to share the evening’s invitation but there is no choreography, and no steps or patterns are taught. Each person is encouraged to move freely in their own way, inspired by the music and their own inner spirit. This practice is about coming together in community to dance and express freely without judgment or concern. We do not speak for the duration of the dance session and the reason for this is so that we can be fully present in our bodies. In this way the dance becomes a moving meditation for all involved. Let go and let your body be your guide!
Cost: sliding scale $8 – $13.
