Dancers looking for a mindful evening of movement can head to Highfield Trinity Methodist Church on Holland Place for Ecstatic Dance with Reya. Led by DJ Reya, the session offers free-form dancing without steps or instruction, beginning with a guided warm-up before opening out to music that moves across styles from classical to psytrance, drum and bass, and dub. The gathering is run as a sober, screen-free space where people dance barefoot or in socks on the carpeted floor, without talking, and with no need to dress up or perform. It is aimed at anyone wanting to dance freely and release stress, finishing quietly together with a relaxed closing circle.
