Oops, We Laughed Too Loud

You weren’t too loud. The room was too small

You can’t flow if you aren’t in it.

You can’t feel music if you aren’t the music.
You can’t dance if you aren’t the dance.

“Dance until the dancer disappears and only the dance remains”

So why is Flow Dance different from Ecstatic Dance?

Here’s a story.

It was a friend’s birthday — a Wednesday evening.
We went to an ecstatic dance.

At one point, I stepped outside.
In the small, enclosed outdoor area, three people were laughing but as I walked out, they suddenly stopped.
Pure silence. It was so strange.

And then...

We all burst into hysterics.
No reason. No control. Just laughter.
It felt amazing to release that sound, that energy — that part of the process.
(in unison as well)

As we laughed, a woman from the hosting team came out.
Polite face. Pointed tone.

"I know it’s funny, but we can hear you inside"

That hit me.

Because Flow Dance Meditation allows it all.
It encourages it all.

We would never stop you in your process.
Because it is about the process.

Movement is art.
and what it brings up — laughter, tears, singing, shaking, stillness — it all belongs.

There’s still a quiet code in some ecstatic dance spaces —
An undercurrent of “do this, not that.”
A subtle pressure to behave a certain way.

But Flow Dance?
It doesn’t ask you to do.

It asks you to be.
Just be.
You.
