The emphasis here is on Spirit. Spirit is erotic.
This is a form of dance that will engage you on different levels. First of all pysically. When done as intended, this movement practice to specifically made soundstracks with various effects is 60 min. That is a workout, if you can keep it up that long. But no worry, it is advisable you take as many breaks as you need. It also is desigend for you to train your attention, both to the sounds as well as your body and how it responds. It will lead you to different places on subtle levels of being, depending what you are open to on a given day, or minute as it is, and what the sounds and movements will evoke, some of which definitely has a healing effect.
There are a number of interesting and challenging features and if you want to go all the way, this is a true spiritual practice.
While it is definitely possible to do ESD solo, something happens in a group and the resulting energy that cannot be done alone.
E.J. Gold, the originator of this dance form, can move like a woman. Seen here as his character Leslie Ann, he not only demonstrates that men can do this, but also is making a point about genderisation and the need for an ability and willingness to transcend it.
