PORT ANGELES — Shelly Zollman will present the Joy of Movement at Ecstatic Dance on Sunday.
The introduction to Ecstatic Dance will be at Studio Bob, 118½ E. Front St., Port Angeles.
Admission is $5 to $20 on a sliding scale by cash or Venmo at the door; youths younger than 18 will be admitted free.
The afternoon will begin with an introduction to Ecstatic Dance from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. followed by a full dance experience from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The afternoon will conclude with the Wind Down session from 3:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. to allow participants to relax and reflect as the energy settles.
Participants are welcome to arrive at any time during the event.
“We’re thrilled that Ecstatic Dance is emerging in Port Angeles,” Zollman said. “This event is about creating a space where everyone can feel free to move, connect and just be themselves.”
Ecstatic Dance is a global movement that invites participants to express themselves through dance without choreography or rigid rules.
Individuals are encouraged to let go of expectations, tune into their bodies and move however they feel inspired; whether that’s wild and energetic or soft and introspective.
Ecstatic Dance fosters a sense of community, self-awareness and joy, all set to an eclectic mix of music.
To create a welcoming environment for all, attendees should dance barefoot or in soft-soled shoes if medically necessary; wear comfortable layers, tops required for gender equity; no alcohol or drugs; refrain from talking in the dance area; be scent-free; turn off cell phones; photos or videos are prohibited except for pre-announced marketing; and be mindful of those around you.
