Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement journey and moving meditation that’s sweeping the world! Guided by live DJ Reya Caroub, we flow through an epic soundscape of all genres: fast and slow, classical to psytrance, drum and bass to dub - no style is off-limits! The music moves in waves; starting gently, building to vibrant peaks, and ending in stillness.
There are no steps, no judgment, no need to perform - just pure, free expression. We generally dance barefoot, without talking, in a sober, mindful space where respect and presence create a safe container. Ecstatic Dance is transformative, playful, and deeply liberating.

To keep the space safe and enjoyable for everyone, we follow these simple guidelines:
Speech: No chatting on the dance floor - sounding is welcome but please be considerate of others.
Footwear: We like to dance barefoot to ground, but if you need to wear shoes, please bring clean soft indoor shoes and be mindful of people's toes!
Boundaries /consent: Respect others' personal space & check for consent before dancing with someone. If you're not sure whether it's a 'yes', treat it like a 'no'. There is no need to dress to impress! This is not a space where you need to look good … this is a movement meditation.
Substances: No alcohol, drugs or other substances - this is a sober practice
Screen free: No phones or cameras during the dance - drop out of your head and into your body and give yourself the gift of switching off! The team may take short videos/pictures for promotional reasons - if you do not want to be in a video/photo, please let us know before or after the dance.
Feel free: dance how you want; as much or as little movement as is right for you - this is a non-judgemental space. Feel free to close your eyes, bring a blindfold, dance to the wall... you do you!

Comfy clothes you can move freely in - layers are useful as you might get really hot dancing then cool down when still.
Earplugs if you're sensitive to loud music.
A journal and pen if you like to write.
Your beautiful self, a water bottle (refills available) and curiosity!
