Many of us know that some electronic music has the power to lift us into states of pure ecstasy... awakening parts of ourselves we may have forgotten. When we combine this type of EDM with movement, we can reconnect with our natural sense of wonder, freedom, and ecstatic expression.

For us, dance has always been more than just movement... it is meditation, transcendence, a way to tap into something far greater than our individual selves. Across cultures and generations, through time & space, people have danced to heal, to connect, and to remember who they truly are.

MY ECSTATIC ODYSSEY... is an invitation to move, release, and open up... to let go of city stress, to dance in lightness and joy, and to share the experience with a beautiful community.

Our journey will be guided by a powerful, uplifting, and heart-expanding DEEP & EUPHORIC HOUSE set... weaving together modern, mystical electronica and transformative sounds to awaken your creativity and deepen your connection with your dance and your heart.

🌿 To support this journey, we’ll also share ceremonial-grade cacao in a guided Cacao Ceremony with Seth... a grounding practice that opens the heart, nurtures the body, and aligns our energy centres with positivity before we dance.
Come as you are. Dance barefoot. Leave recharged, uplifted, and inspired.

🌟 No prior experience of ecstatic dance is necessary. All are welcome.

WHY CACAO?
At Ecstatic Dance London we LOVE chocolate, RAW chocolate-CACAO! We will provide complimentary Raw Vegan Cacao to superfood charge your dance with us!
Cacao is the ultimate heart opener, it will give you energy, revitalise your BodyMind inviting you to express, release & unleash your creativity during the dance!
Our Raw Vegan Cacao is prepared lovingly by Diana (who makes the best, velvety-tasting cacao in town for sure!). She uses ethically sourced, highest quality ingredients from Guatemala. (Free from Gluten/ Dairy / Nut / Refined Sugar) Super Yummy! :)
Join us to explore Cacao + Ecstatic Dance as a potent synthesis for Transformation!

ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES
📌Ecstatic Dance guidelines: No booze, No Shoes, No phones, No Chit Chat, Move However You Wish, Respect yourself and others.
📌Zero-tolerance drug and alcohol space! This is one of the very few spaces where Londoners can go out dancing in London in a safe and clean sober space. Please respect this, and please don't come drunk or high as you will be refused entry or asked to leave. No refunds!***
📌Dancers enter at their own risk. Ecstatic Dance London accepts no responsibility for spontaneous joy, open-heartedness or sore cheeks from too much smiling (we also accept no liability or responsibility for any injury, loss or damage).

PRACTICE SPECIFICS: Warm-up: stretch, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave. The Practice: freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music, the community and our own inner space direct our steps, our movements, our expression, our journey. Relaxation: Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation.

No late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers.
