Ecstatic dancing connects music, dancers
Going to Sandpoint’s Ecstatic Dance is not anything like going out to dance at a bar on the weekend — where people might throw back a drink or two to get loose, go out on the floor to shuffle their feet a bit, trying not to move their arms, hoping they don’t look like Elaine in that “Seinfeld” dance episode, where character George described her dancing as “whole body dry heaves.”
