After spending 6 months in Bali experiencing the many different kinds of Ecstatic Dances, DJ Chica aka Elene Marsden wanted to bring something fresh and new to her community. Connect with her Facebook Group and Ecstatic Dance Bali Inspired Page
Elene believes that dancing is a tonic for people emerging from endless lockdowns and isolation and a great way to start building connections with others again.
What is Exactly is Ecstatic Dance?
For generations ancestral tribes have danced to the rhythmic sounds of drums. Those primal beats are deeply held inside us. If you’ve told yourself you can’t dance, this is your chance to get rid of those limiting beliefs.
Everyone can move. At an Ecstatic Dance session there are no set moves, you let the music move you. You might even feel like lying down, no need to follow the crowd, self expression is key.
What to expect
You’ll be welcomed into the space with slow music which will increase in tempo, reaching ecstatic peaks followed by relaxing music and a group meditation session. You make decide to dance with a partner, but always check with nonverbal cues if this is OK, some people like to use the session to dance solo.
Do you need any experience?
Absolutely none required
The dance floor is open to all, no matter what your age or physical condition. We do suggest you consult with your doctor if you make be at risk from vigorous exercise.
