**ECSTATIC DANCE ZÜRICH · Sound Healing** **Theme: “TRIBAL HEARTBEAT”** One rhythm, one tribe Simple, powerful, and perfectly matches African rhythms. Feel the rhythm. Return to the roots. Move as one. Tribal Heartbeat is a powerful ecstatic dance journey inspired by African rhythms, primal movement, and the deep intelligence of the body. This is not just a dance — it’s a remembering. Through grounding beats, tribal grooves, and pulsating drums, we reconnect with something ancient within us. The part that knows how to move without thinking. The part that feels, expresses, and belongs. We begin together in a circle, awakening the body through rhythm, breath, and simple group connection. From there, the music will guide us into a full ecstatic journey — from grounding and activation into wild expression, and finally into a deep, collective landing. Expect: • strong, earthy beats • tribal and African-inspired rhythms • playful group connection • freedom of expression • a safe, alcohol-free space No choreography. No expectations. Just your body, the rhythm, and the tribe. Come as you are. Leave grounded, energized, and deeply connected. **🎟️ Tickets at the door: Late Bird price plus an additional 10 CHF (Cash or TWINT)** ✨ FIRST TIME FREE — limited tickets available.
