WHY CACAO?
At Ecstatic Dance London, we adore raw ceremonial cacao. It’s a natural heart-opener and gentle energiser that supports emotional flow, creativity, and embodied presence on the dancefloor.
Your complimentary raw vegan cacao is lovingly prepared using ethically sourced, high-quality cacao from Guatemala.
Free from gluten, dairy, nuts, and refined sugar, velvety, nourishing, and deeply delicious.
Cacao + Ecstatic Dance is a potent combination for transformation, connection, and joyful expression.

ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES
• No alcohol, no drugs
• No shoes

• Respect yourself, others, and the shared space
This is a zero-tolerance sober space. Please arrive clear-headed; anyone arriving intoxicated will be refused entry or asked to leave. No refunds.
Dancers participate at their own risk. Ecstatic Dance London accepts no responsibility for spontaneous joy, open hearts, or sore cheeks from excessive smiling (or for injury, loss, or damage).

THE PRACTICE
Arrival & Warm-up: Gentle stretching, movement, and intention-setting to ease into the body.
The Journey: A full ecstatic dance soundwave guided by a live DJ set, with light facilitation to support flow and presence.
Integration: The dance typically closes with a deep relaxation to land the experience.

Late arrivals disrupt the shared container. Entry closes 30 minutes after the start, please arrive on time so we can journey together from beginning to end.

✨ The Journey
We begin by arriving in the body, with an optional Kundalini Meditation (5:50–7:00pm) for those who want to drop in early.
From there, the Ecstatic Dance journey unfolds:
A guided movement warm-up → our heart-opening cacao ceremony & connection ritual → a slow build into a euphoric, high-energy dance peak → softening into spacious, grounded integration → closing together with a gentle landing and fruit social.

The music moves across afro, rhythm-infused, latin-rich soundscapes, designed to take you out of your head and into your body: with live percussion woven in to ignite rhythm and release.
