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. (More info about what is Ecstatic Dance – please scroll further down).

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. If you are more than 30 min late from the start of the session, unfortunately you won’t be able to join the session, please respect this and arrive on time. Thank you

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!

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive” – Joseph Campbell
