Ecstatic Dance Whitstable is a unique, sober, music and dance experience.
A collaborative space where we explore expression of self through dance, movement and community connection.
An opportunity to release, let go, energise, and come home to ourselves.
Led by Hannah, Charlotte and Lewis - A team of passionate DJs, Holistic Practitioners/Therapists, and Friends.
Together we use our combined skillset to transform halls in to temple spaces with psychedelic visuals, live percussion and state-of-the-art sound equipment.
We are supported by an A class team of guest DJ's, friends and volunteers whose energy enriches each event. Making it a safe and welcoming space for all participants.
Each event has its own unique vibe. We alternate DJs each month, each bringing their own musical delights.
Ecstatic Dance uses a range of sounds, tempos and genres both melodic and energetic to facilitate a music and dance journey.
We open and close the session ceremonially with Cacao and sound instruments such as Gongs, and Sound Bowls.
