What we’re about
HeArtbeat is an intimate Ecstatic Dance community in West London, created by Jessi & Edan as a warm, heart-centred space for free movement, emotional expression, and genuine human connection. In a city that can often feel cold and disconnected, we gather to move, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves and each other.
Our sessions blend conscious movement, somatic exploration, ceremonial cacao, art and creative integration practices. We welcome people of all backgrounds—whether you’re completely new to Ecstatic Dance or a regular mover—into a supportive environment where everyone is free to be exactly as they are.
At HeArtbeat, we move without judgment, speak through our bodies, and honour each person’s unique rhythm. We dance without shoes, without phones, and without intoxicants so we can be fully present in the experience. We embrace consent, curiosity, and authentic expression, creating a shared journey that is gentle, profound, and often transformative.
Our small group size (up to 12 dancers) allows for deeper connection, safety, and a more personal experience. Through music, movement, cacao, creative expression, and community circles, we explore what lies beneath the surface—our emotions, intuition, and inner landscapes.
HeArtbeat is more than a dance. It’s a space to let go, to feel, to reconnect, and to remember the simple joy of being human.

Ecstatic Dance Guidelines
Ecstatic Dance is a space for freedom, expression, and authentic connection.
To help everyone feel safe and open, we follow :
No shoes
No phones — be fully present
No talking on the dance floor — let movement be your language
No intoxicants — we dance naturally
Consent is key — always ask (non-verbally) before joining someone’s dance
Bring curiosity, presence, and your open heart. This is your space to move, release, and reconnect.
With love,
