Raise The Vibration Ecstatic Dancing Louisville Dance Alliance

Join us to raise the vibration in Louisville and the world through ecstatic dance. We welcome you to join us in creating a collective sacred space for adults to freely express themselves through dancing their prayers, exploring the depths and visions generated by dance, and celebrating the ecstasy of embodiment.

Inspired by the intention of creating a higher vibration in the world, we weave a sacred container in our city where dancers are free to traverse the landscape of their bodies, minds, and hearts. Experimentation is encouraged, as is play, mourning, connection, and solitude. This is a safe place to explore what is alive for you in the moment.


Doors open at 10:30am. We begin with a brief opening circle followed by an hour and half of sacred movement (dancing, praying at the altar, stretching, or simply sitting quietly and connecting with the vibration). Our closing circle is followed by socializing, if you choose to stay.

-This event is open to those ages 16 and older.
-There will be no talking during the movement hour, though toning and other nonverbal sounds are welcome. There is space for talking before and after movement.
-You are invited to bring sacred objects for our community altar
-Please bring a water bottle.
-We ask for a $5 donation to the cover expenses of using the space.

We Have Come to Be Danced
​by Jewel Mathieson

We have come to be danced
not the pretty dance
not the pretty pretty, pick me, pick me dance
but the claw our way back into the belly
of the sacred, sensual animal dance
the unhinged, unplugged, cat is out of its box dance
the holding the precious moment in the palms
of our hands and feet dance
We have come to be danced
not the jiffy booby, shake your booty for him dance
but the wring the sadness from our skin dance
the blow the chip off our shoulder dance
the slap the apology from our posture dance
We have come to be danced
not the monkey see, monkey do dance
one, two dance like you
one two three, dance like me dance
but the grave robber, tomb stalker
tearing scabs & scars open dance
the rub the rhythm raw against our souls dance
WE have come to be danced
not the nice invisible, self conscious shuffle
but the matted hair flying, voodoo mama
shaman shakin’ ancient bones dance
the strip us from our casings, return our wings
sharpen our claws & tongues dance
the shed dead cells and slip into
the luminous skin of love dance
We have come to be danced
not the hold our breath and wallow in the shallow end of the floor dance
but the meeting of the trinity: the body, breath & beat dance
the shout hallelujah from the top of our thighs dance
the mother may I?
yes you may take 10 giant leaps dance
the Olly Olly Oxen Free Free Free dance
the everyone can come to our heaven dance
We have come to be danced
where the kingdom’s collide
in the cathedral of flesh
to burn back into the light
to unravel, to play, to fly, to pray
to root in skin sanctuary
We have come to be danced
WE HAVE COME
