Ecstatic Dance ~ Autumn Series~

Saturday 14th November 2026 

with Estavia

A heart-opening dance journey at Barcombe Village Hall with DJ Estavia.

Move freely, connect deeply, and surrender into joy together ✨ No dance experience needed, just come as you are. ✨

As the nights draw in, we gather to reconnect with ourselves and the deeper currents that run through our lives. Follow the impulses of your body in the company of a warm and friendly community of dancers. Expect a great night out and a powerful movement practice in one. If fate smiles on us, we might touch the ecstasy that’s always waiting to be found.

What Is Ecstatic Dance? 

Ecstatic Dance is a freeform dance style that encourages people to move in ways that are freeing and natural. It is a movement meditation that helps people feel more connected to themselves and to others. There are no steps to learn - you are free to follow the flow and impulse of your own body. 

It can be playful and joyful, deep and emotional, energising and grounding - sometimes all in the same dance. Many people describe it as both a great night out and a powerful movement practice. It’s a space to let go, have fun, connect with others, and reconnect with yourself. 

What to Expect 

We will start with a welcoming, relaxing warm-up to get us in the mood! This gives time for you to arrive, let go of your day and begin to tune in to yourself and your needs and to re-connect with your body. 

We’ll then come together briefly in an opening circle to ground, connect, and set the tone for the night including a brief  meditation courtesy of Sacha Allistone. 

From there, the music will guide us through a journey of movement - starting slow and spacious, building into vibrant, high-energy dance, and gradually returning to stillness and calm. 

Expect music drawn from across traditions; world sounds, ceremonial electronica and deep grooves that touch the heart and move the body.

If you’d like a taste of previous dance journeys, you can listen to my ecstatic dance mixes at mixcloud.com/DJ_Estavia/ 

There will be opportunities to explore movement solo, in pairs, and in small groups - however these are optional and you are welcome to follow your own needs at all times. We’ll close with a peaceful circle to ground and integrate the experience.
