Ecstatic Dance is a gathering where we dance at 100%, in an environment free of alcohol, drugs, and smoke, revealing our infinite energy through movement.

Ecstatic Dance is an international free dance movement that invites us to dance and celebrate. On the dance floor, the proposal is not to talk, not to use the phone, and to surrender to the music, barefoot, to the rhythm of a sonic journey that takes us to many places within our body and being.

Inspired by the work of Gabrielle Roth (dancer and choreographer from the 70s), Ecstatic Dance is an active meditation, a shamanic journey of movement, healing, celebration, and communion.

Regardless of the state you find yourself in during this experience, we include FEELING, whether it's fatigue, anger, sadness, joy, pleasure, love, or whatever else may arise. The important thing is to bring these emotions to consciousness, welcome them, and release them from our physical body so that the flow of energy does not stagnate.
