Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
'Dances of Ecstasy' is a 2 DVD set that explores how different people around the world connect with the transcendental forces through rhythm and dance. The very first DVD is a sensory journey through rhythm, dance and music. Viewers visit Namibia, Korea, Nigeria, New York, Brazil, Turkey, Morocco, USA and Australia on a trance journey. The disc also features four illuminating documentaries about various rituals portrayed in the film and a commentary by the producers. There is also a closer look at a whirling dervishes festival. DVD 2 is a workout for the soul that invites viewers to join in and participate themselves with a complete 'Power Wave' workout by New York urban shaman Gabrielle Roth, or dance on their own to the included tracks of global dance grooves – with psychedelic visuals by D-Fuse. This second DVD also features two 'hidden' bonus videos by One Giant Leap and James Asher.

The very first DVD shows many cultures and religions using dance to enter different mental states so it is a pretty good quality documentary. The second DVD shows her five rhythms method in action using some of her better dancers from her classes.
I bought the DVDs before attending a weekend retreat. She and her son are very loving, aware teachers. They were very good at helping us to feel into every part of our body to allow it to dance. Trance can take you below thought or above thought into acute awareness just as meditation can. My intention at the retreat was to drop all resistance to flow. Gabrielle recognized the instant I did that and danced over to congratulate me.

This is one of the best documentaries that I have seen about the spiritual journey of human beings. Dances of ecstasy is very well done, and explores the journey towards individuation through movement. I was able to understand much more how does movement and dance influences our lives, and how it is through that, that we can truly embody our spiritual selves. Spirituality through ideas or beliefs becomes spiritual bi-passing. Spirituality grounded in the body, becomes metabilized. This documentary shows us how do we integrate our spiritual selves into our lives and material existence (body).
I highly recommend it for people interested in experiential therapies such as Holotropic Breathwork, Dance/Movement therapy, BioDanza, Authentic Movement, Shamanism, etc...

IT's pretty good. Authentic. Impressive that these film makers can blend in so well. A big plus on film composition.
