Ecstatic Dance at Hudson Harmonic with Keena Maya

A family-friendly daytime ecstatic dance rooted in connection, play, and presence. This vibrant gathering invites families, friends, and neighbors of all ages into an inclusive space to move freely, express authentically, and reconnect with the body. Through conscious embodiment and shared rhythm, we open pathways for healing, joy, and collective release—where dance becomes a living expression of aliveness and connection—hosted by Hudson Harmonic & Ecstatic Dance Hudson.

Dance Agreements

To co-create a safe, respectful, and expressive space for everyone, we invite you to honor these shared agreements:

1. Come as you are & move however you feel
All ages, bodies, and experience levels are welcome. There are no steps to follow—this is a space for intuitive, judgment-free movement, whether that’s dancing, stretching, resting, or simply being.

2. No talking on the dance floor
We practice moving without words to deepen connection to self and others. If you need to speak, please step off the dance floor.

3. Consent & spatial awareness
Connection through dance can be beautiful, but it must always be nonverbal and consensual.
– Invite connection through eye contact or gesture
– Respect verbal and nonverbal “no” signals
– Stay aware of those around you and move with care, especially with children and families present
– When in doubt, dance solo

4. Barefoot (or dance shoes)
To support safety and grounding, we dance barefoot or with soft, non-marking dance shoes.

5. No substances
This is a sober space. We cultivate natural states of presence and expression without drugs or alcohol.

6. Phones off, presence on
Help maintain a distraction-free environment by silencing phones and avoiding photos/videos on the dance floor.
