Freeform Dance Dance! Northgate Saturday mornings!

Welcome to FreeForm Dance Dance!! A dance for every body! Doors open 10am, music 10:20am-11:40am, closing circle 11:40am-11:55am. We dance freestyle with an ecstatic dance format, with a fabulous and inspirational setlist like no other--music from all eras, styles, peoples and cultures of the world. Music in all kinds of languages. Popular, familiar music and music from around the globe. This is a unique kind of ecstatic dance. We take requests 2+ days ahead of time (write to grace@freeformdancedance.com). Join our mailing list for weekly updates and announcements: https://workwithgrace.lpages.co/f2d2-welcome-get-on-mailing-list/ No steps, no instruction, no choreography. Our studio is gorgeous, full of natural light only, with tree-filled windows facing south. We provide a few yoga mats, chairs, musical instruments like shakers and rattles. Wear shoes or dance in bare feet on the beautiful hardwood floor. At FreeForm Dance Dance there is something for everyone when it comes to dancing, movement and the music. We begin softly with slower beats, build to a crescendo in the middle, and then slow down again to a quieter pace at the end. The dance is a journey, 80 minutes. We include pop music from every decade and era, Broadway and swing music, Bollywood, Zydeco, Cajun, North, South, West and East Africa, Brazil, Turkey, Russia, France, Spain, Bellydance, Bhangra, and also rock, funk, hip-hop, classical and awesome all-time dance music. We begin in a brief welcome circle and end with a circle, but if you come a little late or leave early, you are still entirely welcome to join right in (and no one is required to participate in the opening and closing circles, although in many dancing cultures around the world with dance as a journey or prayer, this is part of the process). At the end of our dance together, everyone shares a short few words of appreciation. People also bring poems, a very short one-verse song, or a quote to share. Grace usually shares one…
