About Us
What Is
Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic Dance is a conscious, alcohol-free dance experience where you’re invited to move however your body wants. There are no steps to learn, no talking on the dance floor, and no expectations—just music, movement, and presence.
For over 15 years, Ecstatic Dance London has offered a space for exploring dance as meditation, expression, and emotional release. Whether you’re new to conscious clubbing or a seasoned mover, you’re welcome exactly as you are.
“Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.” – Rumi

Out of all the ecstatic dance places in London, this one is the best by far. They really go the extra mile to make it an immersive, spiritual, crazy, otherworldly experience. A lot of effort is put into making it a safe and friendly environment.
This is the one I recommend to all of my friends

I LOVE this ecstatic dance and the community! In fact, I love them so much that I recently contemplated whether the reason I keep coming back to London is so that I can join the dances. Aside from the amazing dances, there is also a great, welcoming community. Would highly recommend!
