Ecstatic dance Byron bay – DJs without borders
2/1 Acacia st Byron bay
About this dance
Kulchajam was the venue for Byron Bay’s first ecstatic dance event hosted by Becca Dakini many eons ago.
In early 2020 we felt a strong desire to rekindle the ecstatic dance community in the shire. We needed a place to dance deep and pure, and also wanted to create a venue for djs to play and be paid despite number restrictions in these strange cv times.
DJs without borders Ecstatic Dance Byron Bay was born as an offering of a weekly deep dive into movement and intuitive expression.
Our intention is to provide an open, safe and clear space for our community to explore the magical instrument of the body.
Dance is our medicine.
We believe in the purity of music and movement as a container to to transform, shift and uplift.
For this reason:
** we keep it pure and simple – no additional ‘enhancements’
** we set the dance floor as ceremonial space – opening with an acknowledgement of Country, intention and exploratory exercise and closing with sweet acoustic serenades
* we ensure epic sound -high quality PA and subwoofer to enable an immersive sonic experience
We hold to the basic principles of ecstatic dance here((https://ecstaticdance.org/about/))

The space
Three simple guidelines
Learn more about ecstatic danceWe 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.
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.
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.
