Ecstatic Dance Cambridge

Service Description

Ecstatic Dance A free-form dance practice facilitating deep embodied connection and emotional expression to an eclectic mix of musical styles. This is a held, intentional space, so there will be certain guidelines to follow - see below. There will be invitations to engage in various ways, but the choice of how you move is always yours. Listen to your inner knowing and do what feels right for you. Our aim is to offer a space that helps us step into freedom. The music will follow a wave, building in intensity, then falling again, gently flowing into the next phase of the event. Sound Journey This guided meditation will relax our bodies as we drift through ambient soundscapes, giving space to let the experience of the dance sink in. You will be invited to lie down, close your eyes and drop into yourself. After gentle guidance back into the space, we will rise out of the meditation into the final phase of the event. DJ Sets From here on, we will step into a more casual atmosphere with relaxed guidelines for the rest of the event. Socialise, dance or chill out, as you enjoy the blends of house and techno through our top-notch sound system. The music will be an artistic journey through organic tribal rhythms and deep electronic grooves, ethereal atmospheres and world cultures. Feel free to eat or drink at this time. We will open another room with seating and a range of refreshments provided - teas, biscuits, etc. Donations to cover costs are welcome! Ecstatic Dance Guidelines Be here: no outside shoes. Be free: dance how you want / no judgement. Be present: no phones and no unauthorised filming or photography. Be embodied: no talking during the dance journey. Be clear: no alcohol or drugs.
