Ecstatic Dance Zürich by MOKOA

WELCOME TO MOKOA - ZÜRICH'S CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT TRIBE 🔥

🌿 WHAT IS MOKOA?
MOKOA is Zürich's premier Ecstatic Dance community—a sacred space where conscious movement, transformational sound, and authentic connection come together to create unforgettable experiences.
We believe your body holds wisdom your mind can't access. We believe movement is medicine. We believe the dancefloor is a portal to your most alive, authentic self.
This is not a dance class. This is liberation.

🎭 WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?
Ecstatic Dance is a global movement practice of freeform, conscious dancing that's taking the world by storm.
Here's what makes it different:
✨ No choreography - Your body decides how to move
✨ No steps to learn - There's no "right way" to dance
✨ No performance - This is for YOU, not for others

Just you, the music, and total permission to express.
It's meditation for people who can't sit still. Therapy for overthinkers. Cardio for your soul. Community for the conscious.

🌊 THE MOKOA EXPERIENCE
Every MOKOA gathering is carefully curated to create transformation:

🍫 SACRED KAKAO CEREMONY
We begin most journeys with ceremonial-grade kakao—an ancient Mayan plant medicine known as "the food of the gods." This heart-opening elixir enhances emotional awareness, amplifies joy, and creates a gentle expansion in your heart center. It's the perfect preparation for deep movement.

🎧 TRANSFORMATIONAL SOUNDSCAPES
Our resident DJ Vargass is a sonic alchemist who doesn't just play music—he architects experiences. Expect carefully curated journeys through:

• Tribal & shamanic rhythms
• Electronic & downtempo grooves
• World fusion & ethnic instruments
• Bass frequencies & healing tones
• Emotional arcs that guide you through awakening, release, ecstasy, and integration

🎤 GUIDED VOCAL JOURNEYS
Cristina's intuitive vocal guidance helps you navigate the waves, encouraging you to go deeper, express more fully, and trust your body's intelligence. Her presence creates safety and permission.
💃 90 MINUTES OF PURE FREEDOM
The dance unfolds in natural waves—awakening, exploration, release, ecstasy, integration. You decide how deep to go. Your body is the authority.

✨ WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE

• EMOTIONAL RELEASE - Move through what's stuck without needing words
• ELEVATED ENERGY - Feel your vital life force surge naturally
• HEART OPENING - Connect authentically with yourself and others
• HIGH VIBRATION - Elevate your frequency through conscious movement
• AUTHENTIC EXPRESSION - Finally have permission to be fully YOU
• SACRED COMMUNITY - Dance with open-hearted, conscious souls
• STRESS LIBERATION - Release tension your body's been holding
• JOY ACTIVATION - Remember what pure aliveness feels like

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: I've never danced before. Will I look stupid?
A: Within 10 minutes you'll realize everyone's in their own world. There's literally no way to do this "wrong." Most first-timers say this becomes their favorite practice.
Q: Do I need to bring a partner?
A: No! 90% of people come solo. This is about YOUR journey. You'll dance in community but not with partners (unless you choose to).
Q: Is this spiritual or religious?
A: MOKOA is secular and honors ancient practices. You don't need any spiritual beliefs—just openness to movement and connection.
Q: What if I have an injury or limited mobility?
A: All bodies welcome! Move within your comfortable range. You can even participate seated if needed. Listen to your body—it knows.
Q: Will there be partner dancing or touching?
A: This is primarily a solo journey. Any physical contact requires explicit consent from both people. Most people dance in their own space.
Q: What's the age range?
A: Events are 18+. Typical range is 25-55, with the sweet spot around 28-45. But we've had beautiful 65-year-olds who dance circles around everyone!
Q: Can I leave early if needed?
A: While we encourage staying for the full journey, life happens. You can leave quietly if necessary.
Q: Is this like a club or rave?
A: Not at all. No alcohol, no pick-up culture, no performance pressure. This is a conscious, intentional practice. Think meditation meets movement in a sacred container.
Q: What if I don't like kakao/chocolate?
A: Kakao is always optional. We offer alternatives or you can skip it and join for the dance.
