Ecstatic Dance at Sunrise Ranch

Ecstatic Dance

On the second Monday of every month, Sunrise Ranch hosts Ecstatic Dance, a structured evening of guided movement, open dance, and sound.

Each gathering follows a clear arc, beginning with a facilitated movement workshop, expanding into an extended dance journey, and closing with a sound bath. The evening is shaped by pacing and flow, offering time for both active movement and grounded stillness.

Featured Facilitators

Patrick Padden opens the evening with a guided movement workshop informed by the foundations of blues dance. His facilitation emphasizes balance, partner awareness, and shared movement through accessible partnered exercises.

DJ TurtleBear leads the dance journey, drawing from house, bass, ecstatic dance, and tribal styles. His sets are shaped with attention to contrast and progression, creating a cohesive musical experience across the evening.

The night closes with a sound bath led by Annmarie Fore, a Colorado-based sound practitioner and educator. Using gongs, singing bowls, chimes, and voice, she offers a structured close to the evening.
