Ecstatic Dance & Live Sound Bath

EDB combines the worlds of Ecstatic Dance, diverse dance music and sound system culture with prayer, mindfulness and ritual. 

Using the practice of Ecstatic Dance we create a held space for you to express, expand and experience rejuvenation through movement, dance and sound.

The experience is a modern day ritual where the communion of people, movement and sound serve as mediums for transformation, liberation and soul invigorating celebration.

Our community gatherings are sober and suitable for all ages, abilities and people.

Come as you are. Dance as you please. Be your uniqueness.

Richard Batts | Ecstatic Dance DJ & Facilitator

Richard Batts prides himself on his passions of holding a strong container and skilfully weaving the world's finest music into powerfully deep journeys. From melodic and sexy techno to neo-classical bliss. From drum & bass to Afrotech and world fusion. He also has a penchant for connecting and collaborating with others, bringing people together with his infectious spirit and his love of dance and people, that just keeps growing alongside his projects. This combined with his heart centred approach to space holding have made him a keen favourite in the capital and helped Ecstatic Dance UK become one of the countries most thriving and exciting conscious dance communities.
