Move into Being Ecstatic Dance Leigh-on-sea Essex

Move into Being Ecstatic Dance, Leigh-on-sea, ESSEX

Dance freely to great music in a chat-free zone and connect with yourself on the deepest level. Imagine dancing without inhibition and expressing yourself authentically. Imagine after having such a rich and satisfying experience, you feel relaxed, revitalised and re-aligned both in body and spirit. It can be a meditative and healing experience, a fantastic workout that is perfect for what your particular body needs and the the high points of the best party ever but without the hangover.

For those who are new to Ecstatic Dance, you definitely don’t need to ‘know how to dance’, it’s more about allowing your body to experiment with moving the way it wants to.

Ecstatic dance is a space to honour yourself exactly as you are right now, so you don’t have to pretend to be happy, all emotions are welcome and you have a chance to express them and release them – just keep moving!

Move Into Being is hosted by your DJs and facilitators, Monica and John. They love to share their experience of ecstatic dance bringing them the joy of full, embodied, authenticity.

They will play a ‘wave’ of music of different tempos and genres to enable your bodies to move in different ways. Your body knows what it wants to do and may like to stretch, have a shake-out, roll around on the floor – that’s all fine. You might like to dance alone and at times with others, that’s all fine too.

You can expect to hear a range of music including World, Tribal, House and Garage and Electronica.

Doors open at 2pm for a 2.15 start, from then it is a chat-free zone, this is so that we can really let go of all the mental-chatter and just BE. We dance barefoot and without the aid of intoxicants, to enjoy and connect with our bodies and our true selves.

2pm Doors open

Music will be playing and it’s a chance for people to arrive in a relaxed way, have a stretch or warm up and get comfortable in the space.

2.15pm Start (no late admission unless prior agreement)

We start with a warm up which includes guidance to help you deeply connect with your body and let it take the lead.

This leads into the main dance which goes on until 4.15pm.
