Ecstatic Dance for Men DAncie Style

Physical Agility

It’s not always easy to step outside of your comfort zone, but that’s where real growth starts. You can have new experiences and feel more confident when you let yourself be a little bit vulnerable. The goal is to find moves you like and build on them over time. Everything becomes easier with practice, and soon you’ll be able to move in ways you never thought you could.

Many men believe the word “dance” is the same as “danger.” It is a unique social situation where you are expected to move to music, and you are afraid of looking foolish without the blueprint of traditional dance steps. So at parties, weddings, galas, or holiday gatherings, you discover yourself marooned on the sidelines watching everyone else have a ball.

Ecstatic DAncie Inner National ~ Joy Rhythm is designed specifically to dismantle this paralysis. It isn’t about learning a “routine”; it’s about installing a functional movement operating system that works for you on any floor, in any setting, to any music genre.

The Problem with Traditional Dance

Standard dance classes are often built on mimicry. You watch an instructor, try to mirror their limbs, and fail to keep up with the count. The process creates a “performance mindset,” which is the opposite of relaxation. For the analytical man, this procedure is frustrating because it’s a system with too many variables and no clear logic.

Joy Rhythm flips the script. Instead of teaching you what to do, it teaches you how your body naturally responds to beat and tempo. It treats movement as a form of nervous system regulation.  By focusing on internal rhythm rather than external form, you bypass the “critic” in your brain that says you look awkward.

The Utility of the “Anywhere” Method

The true value of the Joy Rhythm method is its portability. You aren’t learning a dance that only works in a studio; you are developing a physical confidence that translates to:

  • Professional Networking: Better posture and body awareness lead to a more commanding presence. 
  • Social Events: The ability to step onto a dance floor at a wedding and actually enjoy the music, rather than counting down the minutes until you can sit back down.
  • Stress Management: It serves as a high-intensity interval session that clears the mental “cache” of a high-pressure work week.

A Controlled Environment for Uncontrolled Movement

We understand that for a man who doesn’t dance, “letting go” can feel risky. This is why Joy Rhythm prioritizes a Safe Space. Our sessions are not performances. There are no mirrors to judge yourself in, no stages, and no “grades.” It is a low-pressure environment where the goal is purely kinetic. You get the cardiovascular benefits of a gym workout combined with the mental clarity of a meditation session, all while solving the “I don’t know what to do with my hands or your feet” problem forever.

Ecstatic DAncie: Unlocking Emotional Healing

It cultivates a sense of flow. Flow means operating in a whole new dimension. What I called instinct. Becoming an Ecstatic DAncie is more than movement—it’s medicine for the body, brain, and spirit. In a world saturated with stress, overstimulation, and disconnection, dancing offers a natural reset and connection with oneself and others on the dance floor. When we step into the rhythm, we elevate serotonin, balance cortisol, and boost endorphins. When practiced for at least 20 minutes three times a week, these neurochemical processes help create joy, alleviate tension, initiate new synaptogenesis, facilitate emotional recovery, and improve intelligence. Becoming Ecstatic DAncie is not about performance or perfection; it’s about freedom, flow, transformation, connection, and sharing.

From a scientific perspective

,Dance stimulates neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire and form new connections. The way Joy Rhythm teaches movement challenges old patterns, inviting creativity, adaptability, and connection. Unlike rigid exercise routines, a DAncie bypasses the analytical mind and taps into instinct. This improvisational quality strengthens emotional regulation, enhances resilience, and supports mental clarity. In essence, every dance is a rewiring session for the nervous system, a chance to reset and expand.

On the physical level

DAncie dances a holistic workout. It engages muscles, improves circulation, and strengthens balance without the strain of repetitive drills. It supports bone health and vitality. Yet the true magic lies in how the body responds to rhythm. Movement lowers cortisol, the stress hormone, while simultaneously boosting serotonin and dopamine. This dual action reduces anxiety, elevates mood, and creates a natural state of well-being. It’s exercise, therapy, and meditation rolled into one. Joy Rhythm shows you methodically how to do it without fail.

Emotionally

Becoming an ecstatic DAncie unlocks flow; instincts. In the dance space, suppressed feelings rise to the surface, not to overwhelm but to release. The body becomes a channel for integration—anger dissolves, grief transforms, joy expands, and it allows connections like no other, even with strangers. This process is deep healing because it bypasses words and taps into the primal language of movement. Emotional healing through dance is not abstract; it is embodied, visceral, and lasting. Participants often describe a sense of inner transformation, as the DAncie clears away layers of tension and reconnects them to their authentic self and makes them vulnerable for connections with others.

Spiritually

A DAncie practices and embodies a state of connection and presence. Participants are able to see others for who they truly are, even if only for a brief moment on the dance floor. It bridges body and soul, grounding us in the present moment while opening portals to higher awareness. In community settings, it fosters belonging and collective energy. Alone, it becomes a meditation in motion, a dialogue with the inner self. This holistic integration—body, brain, and spirit—makes becoming a DAncie one of the most powerful practices for personal growth and wellness.

Become Part of the Solution

Seeking natural remedies for stress, anxiety, or creative stagnation, Joy Rhythm offers a proven path. It is accessible, joyful, and transformative. Whether practiced in a group or solo, the benefits ripple outward—better mood, sharper focus, stronger body, and deeper connection to self and others. Before you know it, you take the mindset home with you, to your work, and to social events. In a culture hungry for healing, a DAncie stands as a creator of a new world, one of Heaven on Earth. That is how we can share love, healing, and joy by creating a safe space for all. Even if it lasts only for a moment, people feel the difference. People feel the difference. That is why I created Ecstatic DAncie Inner National Joy’s Rhythm. It does matter. You matter!

Dancing, Memory: My Journey to Healing and Joy

In 2016, my life took a turn I never could have predicted. I had always been the reliable one, the punctual one—especially at work at Shull School in San Dimas. So when friends and colleagues began telling me I was missing appointments, I chalked it up to practical jokes or misunderstandings. Surely, not me! But the universe had a way of making me pay attention.

The wake-up call came out of nowhere: one moment I was on the golf course with my weekly team, the next I “woke up” in my car, already making a left turn in the middle of a busy intersection. No memory of leaving the course, just a wave of fear and confusion. I pulled over, heart racing, and finally saw the truth—my friends weren’t joking. I was missing more than appointments; losing pieces of myself was more like it.

Time for a Change

Subsequently, I made the tough decision to quit my job and seek healing. I started my healing journey with my mom in Santa Barbara, but when that arrangement didn’t work out, I remembered an invitation from Darlene Marmol. I remembered an invitation from Darlene Marmol, who had come to see me months earlier about my father, Jim Humble, and his work with MMS, chlorine dioxide. She had offered me a place in Sequim, Washington, and for the first time, I took her up on it.

Those first weeks in Sequim were both humbling and life-affirming. I stayed with the Marmols, and the people of Sequim and Port Angeles welcomed me like family. Even as my memory struggled and my health wavered, their kindness surrounded me. My New Moon friends became my chosen family—always ready with a hug, making sure I felt valued and accepted, no matter how many names I forgot or how scattered I felt. I was cared for, seen, and made wanted in a way I hadn’t realized I needed.

Through this community, I began to heal. But as a health coach who couldn’t even remember her own protocols, I was embarrassed to ask for help. Luckily, one friend, Vicky Shamp, became my guiding light—introducing me to everyone, helping me stay grounded, and even sponsoring me on a cruise to Alaska when I desperately needed a change. An experienced and well-trained acupuncturist on board, along with the convenience of a credit card swipe, kept me motivated, and gradually, I noticed improvements in my health, despite my memory still struggling to keep up.

Egged on to Teach

And then, I danced. At first, it was just a way to express my joy and gratitude for those around me. But soon, others wanted to learn “my style.” I didn’t even know I had a style! It took me a year to figure out what made it unique—and now, I’m teaching others to become “Dancies,” to find their own style in joy rhythm, and to share it with their community. I call it, Joy Rhythm from my company, Ecstatic Dancie Inner National.

My journey isn’t over, but I’ve learned that healing looks like community, courage, and a lot of dancing—even if you forget the steps. If you’re struggling, know you’re not alone. There’s always a new rhythm to discover and a community waiting to dance with you.
Because my system helps you gain the confidence and joy—and shows you how to share it without being intrusive.
