Experience the healing power of music and community through freeform dance, expression and movement with DJ Noah Proudfoot & host Will Sacks!
Asheville producer and DJ, Noah Proudfoot, blends sacred rhythmic soundscapes with medicine bass and world music, to take dancers on a transformative journey of the heart. Influenced by a love of mantra and meditation, his mixes are carefully curated to amplify presence and embodied expression.

Get to know the people you dance with over some fluffy pancakes, gourmet eggs, and some sweet & juicy fruit salad, prepared by community member Mariah McPherson!

PHOTO & VIDEO POLICY
In order to provide a space most conducive to healing and full self expression, attendees may not take photos or videos during the dance and we ask that phones be left on silent and off your person. The only people taking photos and video will be a designated EDN staff/volunteer and the DJ. This is for marketing purposes in order to help build our community and show new people what Ecstatic Dance is all about. Photography and videography will be limited to the front half of dance floor closest to the DJ during Opening Circle and the first 15-20 minutes of the DJ set, allowing any attendees who wish to not be featured on camera to remain in the back half of the room for that duration.
