Raise The Vibration Ecstatic Dancing Louisville Dance AllianceJoin 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 |
