Ecstatic Dance

We move & dance to express, not impress! JUST AS YOU ARE. To a wave of music that is soothing, earthy, tribal, heart opening & fun!

ECSTATIC DANCE at The Dance Sanctuary is a transformational yet no pressure, nurturing space that gives you the freedom to just BE YOU. Whether you are feeling anxious, excited, stressed, sad or happy, you can show up and dance with whatever you are experiencing in life. Marie has a light hearted, down to earth yet emotive approach to this vital inner work & an abundance of wisdom/experience to share.

THE MUSIC:

Marie creates an bespoke, intuitive wave of music that is soothing, soulful, earthy, tribal, heart opening, euphoric & fun. Inspired by all genres of world music from tribal beats to euphoric house to drum & bass to ambient sounds to name a few. This practice is about dropping out of the overthinking mind and into the body, allowing your movement to be inspired by the music. Each soundwave follows an energy template made up of 9 key elements that support you through a complete wheel of embodiment:

Ground. Connect. Release. Open. Elevate. Celebrate. Integrate. Earth. Rest

We will end our dance journey relaxing with some grounding, gentle sounds & silence taking time to integrate our experience.

Dance Guidelines

Ecstatic Dance – 3 Simple Guidelines
1. We Dance without shoes (or: We Dance Barefoot)
This allows us to connect more fully with the Ground (socks are OK)
If you have a physical condition that you need dance shoes, then OK
2. We Dance without words (or: We Dance with Body Language)
This makes it easier to be in a Meditative State
No Verbal Instruction from the Facilitators
No Talking from the Dancers
3. We Dance as We Are
No Drugs/Alcohol, No Phones, No Camera/Video, No Scents, No Expectations, No Judgements, No Shoulds, No Oughts… Just Be Yourself; With Respect for Ourselves, the Space, and One Another.
