Ecstatish Dance: A Modern, Mindful Movement Experience
Ecstatish Dance is a contemporary reimagining of ecstatic dance, designed for those seeking a more grounded, respectful, and introspective space. Hosted at the Joy Emporium, a sanctuary for sensual and mindful movement, this experience emphasizes personal awareness, slower rhythms, and a deep connection to self and surroundings.
Rooted in the principles of 5 Rhythms, Ecstatish Dance invites participants to explore a musical journey crafted by the talented JJ Jungle, blending introspection with creative expression. The intimate space features four poles, offering an outlet for those skilled in pole dancing to move freely while maintaining an acute awareness of others.
Guided by clear boundaries—no shoes, no talking, no video—Ecstatish Dance fosters a judgment-free environment where everyone can feel safe and respected. With limited capacity to ensure intimacy, doors close once the space is full.
Ecstatish Dance isn’t just a movement; it’s a return to the essence of ecstatic dance—mindful, connected, and free.
Partner Dance
Date Night
Explore connection and sensual movement in a safe and fun container with your lover or friend on and off the pole. No dance experience necessary. This class is taught by JJ and Joy. We will warm up with partner yoga, breath work and mirroring. Each class we will explore different pathways of movement that are engaging, sensual and fun. After class there will be a charcuterie spread to feast on while having an opportunity to talk with other couples and build community.
I truly believe that by investing in your intimate relationships ripples out harmony in the greater community. Anyone who comes to these classes is eligible for a 10% discount on my Thai Massage Workshop For Lovers And Friends as well as an Intimate Film Photoshoot session.
