I am interested in Ecstatic Dance.  Do you know anything about this type of dance?
I think it's based on Gabrielle Roth’s "5Rhythms"  dance series
I'm not familiar with Roth or the dance series.  Can you tell me more about that?
Gabrielle Roth  was a theater dancer with a focus on Shamanism 
Was she from the United States?  I'm curious.
Gabrielle Roth
Gabrielle Roth (February 4, 1941 – October 22, 2012) was an American dancer and musician in the world music and trance dance genres, with a special interest in shamanism. She created the 5Rhythms approach to movement in the late 1970s; there are now hundreds of 5Rhythms teachers worldwide who use her approach in their work.
Roth worked at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health and at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies. She founded an experimental theatre company in New York, wrote three books,
mental health and other fields are starting to carry out research about the 5Rhythms. The Mental Health Foundation, a UK charity published the 'Dancing for Living Report' describing a group of women's experience of 5Rhythms dance and the effects on their emotional wellbeing. The 5Rhythms have been the subject of a number of PhD theses.
