Each journey begins gently, with a grounding start, gradually builds into dynamic, high-energy rhythms, and closes with a deeply calming integration.
The music is an eclectic mix that depends on the DJ, ranging from classical and world sounds to afro beats, tribal rhythms, Latin grooves, house, and organic techno.
Our events are drug-, alcohol-, and substance-free, making it a safe and conscious space where everyone is welcome.
Ecstatic Dance is a moving mindfulness practice. As you dance, you might notice your thoughts (e.g. comparing, judging, doubting), or you may feel waves of joy, grief, or deep stillness. Whatever comes up, the key is to allow it, feel it, and let it move through you. Your body is a vessel that carries emotions and tension. This practice helps you clear that vessel - body, mind, and heart.

No talking: If you need to chat, please step outside.

Consent: To dance with someone, seek clear consent (eye contact or a nod). Respect their choice and don't take it personal.
No substances: Ecstatic Dance is alcohol- and drug-free.
In many cultures, dance has always been an essential part of traditions and rituals, a way to connect with spirit, celebrate life, express gratitude, and strengthen community.
Over time, many societies have lost these practices, leading to more isolated lifestyles. Ecstatic Dance brings back this sense of connection by creating a safe space to move, celebrate, heal, and express yourself, without judgment or “right” or “wrong” ways to dance.
The goal of this practice is presence. You leave your worries, stress, and to-do lists at the door. Through music and movement, you shake off what feels heavy and return to yourself, feeling grounded, free, and alive.
Ecstatic Dance is for anyone who loves music and wants a mindful movement practice. No experience required.
No, Ecstatic Dance is not a party. It’s a conscious movement practice and an active meditation. Unlike parties, there are no drugs, no alcohol, no small talk, and no performance. Instead, you’ll find a safe, mindful space to connect with your body through music and authentic movement guided by intention.
Please bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, and wear comfortable clothes that you can easily move and sweat in. Kindly refrain from using strong perfumes, and take care of your personal hygiene.
There are no changing rooms available. Feel free to change in the bathroom or inside our dance space.
