Ecstatic Dance 
Norther Michigan Ecstatic Dance

A New Season of Benzonia Dances is here. A while back I was asked about my tail, what it was doing, is it upright, tucked, fluffed out, wagging? And I thought it would be a great theme for a dance. So this season is all about body language, inspired by the animals. 
  • In January we focus on fur and all the ways it communicates and how we can bring attention to our own outer covering and use it for expression
  • In February we find our feet and paws and notice how they meet the earth to move us and to signal information to others. 
  • In March we turn to tails and how we can notice our own tails and imagine the ways they are swishing behind us and letting everyone know what's up. 
  • In April we noodle on noses to see how they guide our direction and indicate to others what we want. 
  • In May we eye ears and find out how they can show off what we are attending to. 
We take June and July off and resume for August - November.
