What is Ecstatic Dance?

Ecstatic dance has deep roots in ancient and indigenous traditions, where dance was used as a form of spiritual practice, healing, and communal connection.

This is a substance-free, judgement-free, intuitive dance environment for people to move freely, express themselves, and experience dance as a form of meditation, connection, and celebration. DJ Omar Aena will take us on an immersive journey with his soulful beats from mystical music traditions from across the globe.
