Festival goers lock heads in spiritual embrace at solar eclipse dance-off
The dance, which encourages members to embrace kinetic intimacy, was held at the Oregan Eclipse Festival ahead of tonight's solar eclipse.
Kinetic intimacy expert Aurora Rae describes the practice as: "A world where we honour our primal nature, and celebrate our body's impulse to connect.
"We can follow our body's guidance, without fear. But with tools for conscious communication. Sexual energy is the life force energy that field creativity."

The festival site is held at the Big Summit Prairie ranch on private land, and includes a lake available for a cooling dip.

The total solar eclipse will plunge America into darkness when the moon blocks out the sun later today.
The 70-mile path passes through Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia.
The UK will witness a partial eclipse, when the Moon will appear to take a bite out of the Sun.
The phenomenon will take place at sunset, when the Sun is near the horizon.
The eclipse will start at around 7.30pm and will peak at 8.04pm in London and 7.58pm in Edinburgh. It will last for around 40 minutes.
