Conscious Dances in Ashland are all a little bit different and a little bit the same. Each facilitator brings their heart and creativity to the dance, their tastes in music, and their particular nuances of how they hold space.  

​You can generally expect at most dances:

• Slower down tempo music at the beginning to drop in and connect to oneself, to warm up and get present.
• Some people dancing upright, some people rolling around on the floor, some people witnessing, some people dancing solo, some people dancing together.
• Some kind of opening circle or warm-up about 20 minutes to 30 minutes into the dance. 
• No particular expectation about how your dance should look. People expressing themselves in all kinds of embodied ways. 
• Dimmed lights at the night dances.
• Snacks at most dances.
• Some kind of build in energy or momentum towards the middle of the dance. 
• Time at the end of the dance to share and harvest verbally in community or to simply sit in silence together
• Check in with facilitators after the dance ends with any questions, concerns or suggestions
