Enter The VorteX

 

An Ecstatic Dance Journey Through Music, Movement & Connection

🌀 

 Enter the VorteX is an invitation to leave the outside world behind and step into a shared space of movement, music, expression, connection, and presence.

There are no steps to learn. No choreography. No right or wrong way to move.

You don’t need to know how to dance.

Just bring your body, your curiosity, and a willingness to explore what happens when we let go of expectations and allow the music to move us.

🌀


 

WHAT TO EXPECT

🌀

The evening unfolds as a carefully curated musical journey. We begin gently, with space to land, settle into our bodies, and leave behind the momentum of the day.

From there, the music gradually builds through rhythm, energy, emotion, and intensity, carrying us into a shared wave of movement, release, connection, and expression.

Expect different musical landscapes: deep and hypnotic rhythms, organic and electronic sounds, tribal energy, playfulness, wildness, euphoria, and release.

There will be a couple of waves of intensity before eventually reaching calmer rhythms to slow down, integrate the experience, and return.

You are invited to follow your own flow. Dance fast or slow. Journey alone or connect with others. Rest when you need to, and move when you feel called.

There is nothing to achieve and nothing to perform. Simply an opportunity to be present with yourself, the music, and the people around you, in whatever way feels right for you.

IN A NUTSHELL

🌀

THE JOURNEY

🌀

7:00 pm - Doors Open

Please arrive by 7:00 pm so you have time to land and settle into the space before the guided meditation begins.

(There will be a gentle soundtrack playing in the background during the meditation before the actual DJ set starts.)

🌀

7:05 pm - Guided Meditation Begins

We begin with an open invitation to come together for synchronised breathing and guided visualisation.

Afterwards, the dance floor becomes a space beyond words, with no more guidance until the sharing and closing circle.

As always, any sounds and expressions are welcome as you dance.

🌀

7:15 pm - Music Set Starts

The 2-hour live DJ sound journey begins.

An immersive experience moving through various sounds - a journey of rhythm, energy and emotion, with dancers joining the experience on the dance floor throughout the evening.

🌀

9:30 pm - Music Ends

The music gradually comes to an end, creating space to slow down, breathe, and return before we gather as a group.

🌀

9:30 pm - Sharing Circle

An invitation to land together and complete the journey. A space to share, reflect, or simply listen. 

Thoughts and feedback are always welcome.

🌀


 

THE VENUE

🌀

The event takes place at Bere Ferrers Village Hall. 

As the venue is a smaller space, the number of participants is limited to 30 dancers to ensure everyone has enough room to move freely.

🌀

⚠️ IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Advance online booking is essential. ⚠️ 

If you haven’t bought your ticket online, and spaces are still available, last-minute tickets may be purchased at the door with cash.

HOW TO PREPARE

🌀

WHAT TO WEAR

Dress to express, or simply wear whatever feels good and is comfortable for you.

Clothing that doesn’t restrict your movement is best.

We welcome ourselves - and each other - exactly as we are.

🌀

WHAT TO BRING

• Layers of clothing to easily adapt as your body warms up and cools down.

• Ideally, two bare feet. Clean indoor shoes or non-slip dance socks are also welcome.

• Something comfortable to sit on during the sharing circle, for example: a cushion, blanket, sheepskin, or anything else that helps you feel comfortable.

• A water bottle. Dancing is thirsty work.

🌀

WHAT TO REMEMBER

Please familiarise yourself with the Dancefloor Agreements & Community Care before buying your ticket, to ensure that you are happy to follow these guidelines.

Please note that this is an alcohol- and substance-free space.

We also kindly ask you to keep your phone away (ideally on silent mode) and refrain from taking any photos or video recordings.

There may be a designated person taking some promotional footage during the event. This will be announced at the start of the event. If you do not wish to appear in the footage, please speak to them before or after the event. You can also send us an email at any time if you change your mind at a later date.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at:

REFUND POLICY 

🌀

We understand that plans can sometimes change.

Tickets are non-refundable, except if the event is cancelled or postponed, in which case, you can choose to receive a refund, keep your ticket for the rescheduled date, or use it towards any future Enter The VorteX event.

If you’re unable to attend, you’re also welcome to transfer, sell, or pass your ticket on to someone else.

🌀


 

EVERY BODY IS WELCOME

🌀

We believe that every body can dance.

You are welcome regardless of age*, shape, size, background, identity, experience, or ability.

You don’t need to look a certain way. You don’t need to move a certain way.

You don’t need to be an experienced dancer.

Come exactly as you are.

🌀

*AGE POLICY

Enter the VorteX is open to participants aged 14 and over.

Anyone aged 14–17 must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult for the duration of the event.

🌀


 

A SPACE FOR CONNECTION

🌀

Without conversation on the dance floor, we enter a different kind of communication.

A glance. A gesture. A shared rhythm.

A moment of moving together or dancing to your inner world.

Connection is always an invitation - never an obligation.

You are free to enter or leave interactions at any time.

An invitation to dance is not automatically an invitation to touch.

Every person has the right to their own boundaries.

We create the space together through awareness, consent, and respect.

🌀

Leave the outside world behind.

Enjoy the music. 

Follow the movement.

Enter the Vortex.
