Feedback
・It was such a fun and liberating experience. Will be coming back!
・I usually get nervous going to new events and meeting new people, but it felt nice not having to force myself and still feel accepted.
・The space was so welcoming and everyone enjoying their own dance - it inspired me to live more intuitively and authentically.
・Seeing others fully immersed in their own dance made me feel like I could let go too. I felt safe to expressing myself without being too heady.
・It was nice to meet people with the same vibe.
・Felt a bit shy dancing but seeing everyone else dance so freely helped to let go of my limiting beliefs. I also received many inspirations while dancing!
・ I entered a flow-state, my mind in complete stillness and just being in the moment. Eventually I experienced pleasure and bliss.
・I was elated to discover a conscious gathering/dance in Japan where I
could connect with others free from ego and to feel warmth of human
connection.
・Ecstatic dance helped me connect deeply with myself.
・I’m currently traveling in Japan and just arrived in Tokyo, so it was great to feel a sense of community and connection with people here.
・I usually dance to perform for others, but it was nice that I could just dance for myself. It was an amazing experience.
