What we’re about
Tokyo Conscious Dance (Ecstatic Dance) Meet up!
Welcome conscious dance lovers!
Join our group to if you like conscious practices and would like to be updated with upcoming events, workshops and retreats.
We hold monthly conscious dance events on weekends and sometimes on weekdays. If you are a regular mindfulness practitioner, yogini, dancer, mediator, into overall well-being, you are at the right place!
Our events are based on ecstatic dance, a world wide conscious dance community to liberate the mind and body and to connect with like-minded people by expressing your most authentic self.
We also host retreats overseas all based on conscious practices to remove all layers that no longer serves you and to tap into your fullest potential.
Ecstatic Dance is a free-form dance movement(no steps to follow!) led by carefully crafted music with the intention of creating a healing journey to release the old patterns/ego and rediscover your hidden potentials and possibilities. The music follows a wave form, starting slow, moving to a peak, and coming back into stillness. No dance experience needed - all gender, age, body shape, background, nationality are welcome!
This isn't just a dance practice - it's a community where like-minded come together in unity and go on a journey to become the best version of themselves through various programs to release, connect, and feel joy from within!
We generally start the dance with an opening circle, moving on to guided warm up to ease the mind, drop into the body, with conscious connection which involves eye gazing to strengthen the social connection amongst the community members.
Moving on to the actual ecstatic dance set with a DJ who will take you all on a liberation journey. After the dance, we move on to sound healing to bring our awareness inwards and to integrate what we've release and have welcomed within us. Finally we deepen the community bond further by Kirtan (singing mantras) together with instruments and wrapping up with a share circle where we share what is alive within us in that present moment.
It is held in a safe, judgement free space where we can freely express ourselves.
The most important thing to remember during the dance is not to dance better than others or feel the need to be good at dancing but to listen to your body and follow your heart. You are free to rest if you need to, you will not be judged for anything you do as long as you respect others space.
