What is The Dance?

Human beings need ecstatic trance. Trance states have played a vital and necessary role in human culture and in the shaping of human history, causing some anthropologists to label the attainment of these states the 'main need' of the 'ceremonial animal' that is the human being. Trance states traditionally help communities reinforce shared bonds, establish values, gain insight into the nature of reality, establish reciprocal relation with the natural world, and even heal. Yet in the modern world, trance states have been apathologized by both institutionalised religion and science, and ecstatic ritual has lost its centrality. “ (From Joshua Schrei )

To Dance is to Remember.

When held with integrity, dance becomes a threshold, a sacred place where we meet ourselves, soften our edges, and silence the inner critic. It is a living ritual, where music and movement unite in service of healing, community, and connection.

Across time and culture, indigenous traditions have honored dance as a gateway to spirit, Earth, and the unseen. Long before modern language, humans danced to pray, to grieve, to celebrate, to call the rains, to summon courage, and to mark transitions of life. Dance was, and remains, a ceremony. A communal heartbeat. A remembering of belonging.

In the circle, around fires, under stars, with drums echoing like the pulse of the land, people have always moved in rhythm with something greater. These traditions teach us that dance is not entertainment, it is embodied reverence. It is how the soul speaks through the body.

Ecstatic states have always fed the human spirit. In the dance, we remember: rapture, emotion, interconnectedness, and the vastness of our true nature. Without this access to embodied Truth, joy and release, we may seek ecstasy in ways that disconnect or harm, rather than heal.

The body longs to move, it is built for rhythm, for resonance, for release. Through somatically guided, intentional movement, we open ancestral pathways of expression and unlock each person’s unique, primal vibration.

Here, we dance not in isolation but in lineage, with those who came before and those yet to come.

We use somatization as our anchors. Our dances are not choreographed, but discovered. We let sensation lead and gravity catch us. We return to the body’s native language, instinctual, raw, real.

This is not performance.

This is not perfection.

This is remembrance.

This is Dance, as it wishes to be.

We dance.
