ECSTATIC DANCE BRISTOL: OPEN AIR III

ECSTATIC DANCE BRISTOL OPEN AIR 

Dancing in nature: On the earth, in the sun, in the elements…

After a much needed time of slowing down, reflection and spending time with close family and friends, we are excited to return with some outdoor dancing while the weather is good.

ECSTATIC DANCE

Ecstatic Dance is about self-expression through free-form dance and movement. It’s a movement meditation which brings together the awareness of mind, body and heart; authentically connecting with self and other.

We use the following guidelines to create a safe, held and sacred space for you to express, expand and experience rejuvenation through movement, dance and sound:

- be here: no shoes
- be free: dance how you want / no judgement
- be present: no phones / cameras
- be clear: no intoxicants
- be embodied: no talking
- be consensual: respect boundaries / if it's not a clear yes, it's a no
 

Our events are family friendly

SUPPORT EDB

EDB wasn't able to run any physical events for about 5 months because of Covid-19. So if anyone is able to financially support us please donate as little or as much as you can. Any donations are super, gratefully received! The donation option is available when buying your ticket. Your donations will be used to support EDB so we can continue offering amazing regular dances in Bristol and around the South West and whilst operating events at smaller than usual capacities.
