*This is an alcohol free event*

The music has been arranged to help you warm up at the beginning (focusing on connecting with our body/breath) tempo of music gradually moves up to reach a peak with high energy music such as 'Tropical House' music, followed by warm down music towards the end of the evening. So you should feel a great sense of well-being relaxation.

Abi the organiser is a health professional, a qualified Ecstatic DJ and Dance the Medicine Facilitator. Abi has been a conscious dancer for 20+ years, having attended 100s of dances in UK and abroad & has found this type of dance great as a stress reliever, wonderful for fitness, balance & coordination, whilst also being fun, a giggle because it’s not stuffy or serious! Plus, it doesn’t require that you’re overly coordinated!! Some would say more fun than going to the gym and a nice way to meet and connect with others, what's not to love!

Move at your own pace, wherever the music takes you! You may wish to sit/lay down for some of the time & that’s fine too! Some might want to dance together others may wish to get into a zone on their own with the music.

What to Wear and Bring:

• We dance barefoot and best to wear comfy clothing you would ordinarily wear to dance freely/attend a yoga class.
• Water bottle. There is a kitchen close to the dance floor where you can refill.
• Blanket/shawl - you may wish to bring something to wrap yourself up in for comfort/containment at the end.
• Yoga mat - you may wish to bring a mat with you, again mainly for comfort at the end if you prefer this to sitting on our wooden floor.

Disclaimer: the organiser will do her best to keep the space as safe as possible for everyone.

In buying a ticket you are confirming you are well & physically able to attend this 2hr dance. That you will go at your own pace so as to avoid injuring yourself/others.

If you have any doubts about your fitness to participate (underlying condition/s), please check in with your GP before buying a ticket.

Many thanks, we look forward to dancing with you!

Love from all of us at Ecstatic Dance Bath!
