~~ What is Ecstatic Dance? ~~
Ecstatic Dance is a freeform movement meditation inviting you to embody joy and playfulness in a safe, welcoming space.
This unique collaboration between the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington and Soul Fire Experiences is hosted by Ari Azizkhan-Gould (DJ Electro-Cute)—a local DJ and conscious event curator passionate about creating spaces for connection, community, and embodied expression. Expect a global mix of sounds and rhythms designed to open hearts and move bodies.
Our intention: to create a sacred dance container where all ages and walks of life can expand consciousness, build community, and let the inner child dance freely. Families are welcome! Kids will be celebrated with crafts and snacks led by our Kid Ambassador, Hailey (age 11).
The journey includes:
⭐ Embodiment Warmup
⭐ Dance Meditation with Live DJ
⭐ Sound Healing Cool Down
Enjoy a two-room experience:
- Dance Floor for full expression
- Chill-Out Room for rest, tea, and offerings from local vendors—energy & tarot readings, bodywork, jewelry, and more.
Enter our village and leave connected to a loving community.
The rules of the container are simple:
- Consent first! ALWAYS wait for consent before dancing with someone, if you don’t wish to dance with someone put your hands in a prayer position to thank them and move along.
- No shoes. So we don’t step on anyone’s toes.
- No chit chat on the dance floor. Yelling out in joy is allowed!
- No alcohol or substances. This allows us to be present with each other and our bodies.
- No photos or video of the dance floor. This allows us to fully express without being judged or documented. Photos and videos of the DJ are allowed with the DJ’s consent.
- All forms of movement or rest is encouraged! Go cuddle up in the chill-out room with a blanket and pillow and take a sensory break. The music will be waiting for you when you’re ready to return!
