About Ecstatic Dance:

Ecstatic dance is a free form dance experience guided by live DJ music. The music was selected to create a journey-like flow throughout the session. So it progresses from slower, softer tunes at the beginning to more energetic and vibrant rhythms as we start dancing. We will provide some guidance and facilitation, but the music, the community, and your own inner space will be your guides.

Our ecstatic dance sessions create a safe and respectful space for everyone, to express themselves freely through movement and music.
