let's move through transition and welcome this new season - together - with dancing!

trance dance [also know as ecstatic dance] is spontaneous, free-form, mind-body-spirit movement that has been around since ancient times and is designed to release inhibitions and allow intuition to lead. this inner/outer journey helps you playfully break the rules and embrace your inner silliness in a space that is ultimately what you make of it.

"showing up" is all that is required!

wear something that makes you feel free to move and play. usually dancers prefer to be barefoot, though socks or clean sneakers are also options.

welcome to BEYONCÉ: the series!
