 Movement & Safety Parameters:
•Set your judgment aside. Judgment usually requires punishment. It can disconnect us from ourselves as individuals, and others. Instead, we invite people to instead use curiosity and discernment to embrace the full emotional and physical human experience of yourself and others.
•Move as you wish – There is no right or wrong way to move in ecstatic dance. You can also choose to not move at all. Listen to your body, and let it do what it needs.
•No Devices- photos and video may be taken before, and after the dance, but please no devices present during opening circle, the dance, and and closing circle.
 There may be a photographer present, who will attempt to take photos of only the organizer, DJ, and silhouettes of others. If you are not comfortable with this, you can let us know at check-in, to make sure you are not photographed.
•Sober space. Do not come intoxicated, and do not use intoxicants on the premises , including vaping or smoking. Let the music intoxicate your senses instead.
•Non-conversational during dance – If you must talk to someone, take it out towards the road. This allows the dancers to be fully immersed in the music and their own movements. Singing and vocal expression of emotions during music is welcome, as long as it remains non-conversational.
•Consent based – If you would like to dance with someone, make eye contact and give clear indication. If you do not want to dance with someone, or if you are ready to end dancing with partners, bow out by using Namaste hands. 
• Please refrain from heavy perfumes or scents, as we will be in close proximity to one another and some people have severe allergies. The scent of Marijuana can especially be triggering.
