Check out this great video made by “The School of Life”

Ecstatic Dance is a mindful journey through time and space, using the expansive tool of your own body, guided through the harmonies of music and sweet melodies of pure alignment. You are encouraged to release your inhibitions and discover new parts of yourself, which might take you to unknown and exciting places. Be with yourself or connect to others. Move or be still.

This is an invitation to come as you are and use the space for whatever purpose suits you in each moment. It is an alcohol and substance free environment, where the music itself gets a chance to be the very thing that moves you.

There is no choreography, simply an invitation to connect to your own inner guidance system and express that outwardly. We aim to create a safe space in which you can flow with ease while discovering your rhythm.

Although, this is an Ecstatic DANCE event, don’t be fooled! You are welcome to find out what it means to you to be ecstatic. You are free to enjoy the music and the experience in any way that feels good to you in the moment. This might look like you are dancing like nobody’s watching or exploring a meditative state. Perhaps you feel like doing contact improv with a stranger or a friend or maybe you want to do cartwheels and handstands in the middle of the dance floor.

YOU are responsible for setting your boundaries when needed. YOU are responsible for interpreting your experience of the space, the music & the other people around in either a 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 or a 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 way to yourself and others!
