Ecstatic Dance - Togetherness

The point was never to understand them 
But simply to dance in the mystery of each other

Why not dance just by ourselves? Why do we choose to gather and dance in a room full of other dancing people? Actually, why do we do anything together at all??

Join us for a moving exploration around the themes of: Community, Connection, Sharing, Caring and Being together.

What is Ecstatic Dance?

It's an event where we dance like no one is watching. Where every-Body is welcome, no matter your background, experience, inclination, shape or colour.
There are no steps and no choreography. 
You will be guided by a carefully curated music journey that will span a wide range of genres and energy levels, inviting you to move in ways that you normally wouldn't. 

And yes, at first it's gonna feel weird, awkward, embarrassing and all in between. We welcome all those feelings, because what awaits on the other side is well worth it. When we finally manage to let go of self-judgement, when we really allow the music to move us with no expectations, we can experience real deep freedom, joy and connection.

To create the conditions for all of this to happen, it's important to have some fundamental principles that everyone agrees to follow.

- No phones; No talking.

To minimise external distractions and be fully immersed. (Making sounds is welcome 🦁🐲🐔🐺)

- We dance as we are.

No drugs/alcohol; No strong perfumes; Shoes off, if possible. 

- Respect boundaries.

If we want to dance with others we ask (non verbally) for consent and are not afraid to say no. Respect everyone's personal journey.

What do I need to bring?

Just bring your beautiful authentic self, in clothes that you don't mind moving and sweating in. Bring warmer layers if you want to be extra comfy when we start and end.
Bring earplugs if you're sensitive to loud music.
We will provide water, tea, blankets and a few snacks (you're welcome to bring more to share).

Anything else I should be aware of?

All the activities presented during our events are an invitation. No matter how much you are encouraged to participate, you should always be responsible for your own wellbeing first. If something feels uncomfortable, you can choose to step aside, pause or stop at any time.

Understand that any of the activities may involve significant physical movement, which may expose you to risk of injury. You should be mindful of your physical needs and limitations at all times.

If you want to participate but can't do so for financial reasons, please email us and we'll get you a ticket.
