No alcohol, no drugs, just rhythm, breath, and community.

This is one of London’s most loved sober Friday night dance experiences, where you can shake off the week’s stress and celebrate life through movement.

About Cacao Dance Tribe
Founded in 2017, Cacao Dance Tribe was one of the world’s first Cacao Ceremony + Ecstatic Dance events, originally held in Camden. After a pause during the pandemic, we’re thrilled to have revived the tribe in Tufnell Park since 2023, co-created by the Ecstatic Dance London community, pioneers of the UK’s sober dance movement since 2009.
No dance experience needed - everyone is welcome.

Music Vibe: Afro House | World Beats | Brazilian | Organic Rhythms

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.
