About this dance

Ecstatic Dance Northants • Barefoot & Free • Sunday Gathering

Sunday 12 July

📍 Umbrella Fair Racecourse Pavilion, Northampton NN1 4LG

with MOᛉA

Barefoot & Free is an invitation to slow down, step out of the busyness of everyday life, and reconnect with yourself through movement, music and community.

As summer unfolds, we gather to dance, breathe, connect and enjoy the simple pleasure of being fully present in our bodies.

A space to let go of what feels heavy.

A space to reconnect with joy, playfulness and freedom.

A space to move without judgement, expectation or pressure.

Whether you’re completely new to Ecstatic Dance or have danced many times before, you are welcome exactly as you are.


✨ Music Journey with MOᛉA

Expect a rich musical journey inspired by global rhythms, tribal grooves, deep bass and uplifting melodies.

A dance floor without choreography, performance or steps to follow.

Just you, the music, and the freedom to move in whatever way feels right.


✨ What to Expect

• A safe, sober and welcoming space

• Ceremonial cacao included in every ticket

• A guided opening and closing

• Music, movement and connection

• Time to reconnect with yourself and others

No dance experience is needed.

Your body already knows the way.


✨ Cacao

We will begin our gathering with a cup of ceremonial cacao, included in every ticket.

Please note: Cacao may not be suitable for everyone. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition, or are taking certain medications, please seek appropriate advice before participating.


✨ Community Lunch

After the dance, we will gather for an optional shared lunch and community time in the park.

A chance to connect, chat and enjoy a relaxed summer afternoon together.

Three simple guidelines

Learn more about ecstatic dance
1

We dance barefoot

This allows us to connect more fully with the ground. Socks are OK, and dance shoes are fine if a physical condition calls for them.

2

We dance without words

This makes it easier to be in a meditative state. No verbal instruction from the facilitators, no talking from the dancers.

3

We dance sober, as we are

No drugs or alcohol, no phones or cameras, no scents. Just be yourself, with respect for ourselves, the space and one another.
