What weโre about
Enter an open space... and with bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move, play, connect, sweat, stretch, sound, unwind, renew, release, contact dance, improvise, transform. Be true to yourself, while respecting others in the sacred space we create together. This is a safe and respectful environment that embraces 'all ways'. It is a practice that supports the free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music.
Our intention is self-exploration, connection, healing, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance. No experience necessary.

These unique Trance Dance events are invitations into deep liberation, driven by our breath, our intentions, and energy, and moving deeper than our verbal intellect... we let go.โ Through our Trance Dances, your consciousness can learn to flow, liberating itself into the danceโฆ and then the ecstasy happensโฆ
Natural body movements and intuitive expressive dance are simply forms of an ancient pre-verbal language. It is an expression of the intelligence of our creative unconscious. Honouring the evolutionary intelligence encoded in our cells!
We all seek something to complete us and give us a feeling of fullness and meaning in our lives โฆ โ The answer is inside us!โค๏ธ IMAGINE: Dynamic, Soul-Stirring World Rhythms and Shamanic Soundscapes
