Ecstatic Dance Des Moines
A substance-free, no-talking dance gathering held in a real ballroom studio tucked behind Gateway Market, where dancers stash their phones and move however the music takes them, no choreography, no judgment. Held in the studio right off the back parking lot by the accessible ramp.
The move: Go in with zero dance experience and surrender to it together: no phones, no talking, just freeform movement for a couple hours, then debrief over groceries-turned-snacks at Gateway Market next door.
