Ecstatic Dance & Conscious Dance Facilitator Training (Udemy.com)

This course will teach you everything you need to know about ecstatic dance and conscious dance facilitation. It was created to provide an affordable and accessible facilitator training program so that these wonderful dance practices can be shared more widely. If you are passionate about conscious dance or ecstic dance, but wish to avoid costly training programs: this is the course for you!

The course is comprehensive: it will cover everything you need to know in order to establish and grow a successful ecstatic dance and/or conscious dance community. It covers the following topics:

1. Introduction: The Nature & Benefits of Ecstatic Dance & Conscious Dance

2. The History of Ecstatic Dance, Ritualistic Dance & Dance in Religious Settings

3. Modern Approaches to Ecstatic Dance & Conscious Dance

4. Practical Matters: Organising & Operating Ecstatic & Conscious Dance Events

5. Creating & Developing Your Ecstatic Dance or Conscious Dance Philosophy

6. Structuring Ecstatic Dance & Conscious Dance Sessions

7. Selecting Music for Ecstatic & Conscious Dance

8. Applying Principles from Dance Movement Therapy (DMT)

9. Financial, Legal, and Health & Safety Considerations

10. Growing Your Ecstatic Dance or Conscious Dance Community

In this course Adam Godwin (MA) advocates an experimental and integrative approach to creating new and unique ecstatic and conscious dance practices. Instead of teaching about just one specific approach to conscious and ecstatic dance (such as 5Rhythms, Open Floor, or Biodanza) this course explores a massive variety of approaches: both ancient and modern! By the end of the course you will be able to create your own ecstatic or conscious dance philosophy and practice; and you'll know how to establish and grow your unique dance community.

The course includes the following:

• Over 20 hours of exclusive video content

• A 70+ page printable guide and workbook

• A printable 'Facilitator Guidance Phrase' guide

• A printable 'Dancer Feedback Sheet' to use at the end of dance sessions

• An E-Book: 'The Philosophy of Dance: A Complete Overview of Key Philosophers & Thinkers'* (.pdf & Kindle format)

• A massive range of external resources & links to enhance learning

• Interactive quiz questions to assess learning throughout the course

  
  

The course was designed for people who have no prior facilitator training. However, those currently serving as ecstatic dance or conscious dance facilitators will find the course both useful as a refresher and to deepen their knowledge with more advanced sections - such as 'applying Principles from Dance Movement Therapy (DMT)'  which explores the theories and practices that have evolved in dance-based approaches to psychotherapy more generally.

It was designed with the following people in mind:

• Anyone who wishes to share their love of conscious or ecstatic dance

• Those wishing to start their own ecstatic dance or conscious dance community

• People wishing to organise and facilitate ecstatic or conscious dance events

• Conscious/Ecstatic Dance Facilitators who want to enhance their practice

• Dance Movement Therapists wishing to broaden their approach

• General Dance Teachers & Instructors wishing to explore new approaches & modalities

The course will also be of interest and relevance to students of dance; for example, those undergoing courses such as Dance Performance, Performing Arts, Choreography and Creative Practice, Dance Studies, Musical Theatre and Dance, and Dance Science at university level.

Please note:

• This course seeks to train facilitators in 'Ecstatic Dance & Conscious Dance' as a general practice and not in any one specific modality of conscious dance or ecstatic dance (e.g. 5Rythms or any other approach discussed in the course)

• The aim of this course is to allow you to create your own approach to conscious and ecstatic dance practice based on your own unique philosophy whilst drawing on ancient and modern approaches to conscious and ecstatic dance.

• Whilst we will study many different contemporary approaches to conscious dance and ecstatic dance, this course does not qualify (or seek to qualify) students to serve as facilitators of those specific approaches, or of any specific pre-established approach (such as 5Rythms, Open Floor, Biodanza etc.) as these practices are legally protected in terms of trademarks, copyright, etc.
