Event Description

Embody the sacred transition from the week into Shabbat through Jewish Ecstatic Dance, where movement becomes a transformative bridge.

Welcome to The Sabbath Dance · Jewish Ecstatic Dance! Join us for a night of joy and connection through movement and music. Let’s come together to celebrate life and express ourselves through the ancient tradition of Jewish ecstatic dance.

Date: Friday, September 20

Time: 7:45 PM

Location: Abhaya Yoga Dumbo

The Sabbath Dance takes the framework of Ecstatic Dance and uses it to explore Jewish ritual. By mapping the dance onto the Friday Night service of Kabbalat Shabbat – a tradition rooted in Jewish mysticism- we explore the thematic resonances of the ritual through the modality of movement.
