Ecstatic Dance is all about dancing like no one is watching you; dancing without the judgment of others and dancing without limits.

What to Expect

A warm welcome with an energising Siberian Ginseng Tea

An opportunity to land in the space and inwardly set intentions

A short warm up to lead you in to the dance

A conscious and diverse musical journey with a range of tempos. With a great soundsystem and live DJ

Vibrant people who love dancing!

A relaxing crystal bowl soundbath to ground and relax you after dance

Opportunty to stay for optional tea

This is a free form/freestyle dance and movement meditation with no expections or choreography. This is a natural state in which your awareness shifts and you get to experience a meditative and happy state of mind through body movement.

There will be amazinging musical rhythms that will keep you dancing from beginning to end. No prior experience is needed. All are welcome.

The good thing about Ecstatic Dance is that there are no expectations. No experience is required. You dance however you feel comfortable, without judgment.

There are only a few things to bear in mind when you’re joining an Ecstatic Dance.

Please, no talking during the main dance. You can talk in the foyer area or kitchen

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.
