  "description": "# **NEW YEAR'S DAY ECSTATIC DANCE **\n\n### **Dance your way into 2027!**\n\nStart your year in motion! Join us for a special New Year's Day Ecstatic Dance in Derby - a chance to come together, reconnect with yourself and others, shake off anything from 2026 and welcome the possibilities of the year ahead.\n\n**Through music and movement, we will create space to let go, feel alive, play, explore and set our intentions for the year ahead. No resolutions required - just an open heart, a curious spirit and a willingness to move in any way you like! No judgement. No choreography. Just a safe, welcoming space to move exactly as you feel.**\n\n**✨ What is Ecstatic Dance?**\n\nIt’s a freeform, barefoot, sober dance journey where you’re invited to move exactly as you feel  — no steps, no performance, no judgement, no pressure to be anything other than yourself.\n\nIn Ecstatic Dance, we explore movement as a form of healing.\n\n- You might feel joyful and expansive\n- You might move through frustration, sadness, resistance, or release\n- You might find yourself flowing, shaking, stretching, or resting\n- You might move through many different emotions during the same dance.\n\nEverything is welcome. There is no right or wrong way to dance.\n\n#### **✨ What to Expect**\n\n- A grounding opening meditation\n- A journey through various styles of music danced as a wave of energies for example: slow and spacious, flowing, building into tribal rhythms, electronic and ecstatic peaks, then settling back down into deep calm.\n- We dance with wireless headphones for a fully immersive journey.\n- A safe, drug and alcohol free, barefoot space\n- Move, play, shake, stretch, rest, express, release, connect, transform\n\n#### **✨ Schedule **\n\n**6.45 - 7 pm** Arrive, get your headphones, settle into the space.\n\n**7 - 7.30 pm** Welcome and opening meditation.\n\n**7.30 - 8.45 pm** Ecstatic Dance Journey - the music builds like a wave — rising, intensifying, softening — supporting you to move through layers of energy and emotion.\n\n**8.45 - 9.15 pm** - Relaxing and closing circle (no pressure to say or do anything in the closing circle)\n\n#### **✨ Guidelines **\n\nThe following guidelines help ensure we keep the space safe and supportive for all:\n\n- **No talking on the dance floor** - helps us stay present in our dance.\n- **Barefoot dancing -** this is encouraged to ground. Socks can be worn.\n- **Sober space** – no alcohol or drugs.\n- **Mobile phones on silent and away** - this is screen free time! No photos or filming is permitted during the dance.\n- **You do you** – All movement welcome - big, small, wild, still, eyes open or closed.  All should respect themselves and others’ expressions through dance without judgment.\n\n#### **✨ Venue and Practicalities **\n\n**ADDRESS: Darley Abbey Village Hall, Abbey Yard, Darley Abbey, Derby DE22 1DS**\n\n**PARKING:** There is free car parking at the hall and in the village and there are a number of regular bus services. \n\n**WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU:**\n\n- Comfortable layered clothing (it can get chilly when we relax at the end)\n- Water bottle\n- Glasses + headphones + dancing are sometimes not the best of friends!  If you wear contact lenses, they might be more comfortable for you\n- Curiosity, openness, and your beautiful self\n\n#### **✨How to stay connected with the Ecstatic Dance Derby community ✨**\n\nThis is the **launch of Ecstatic Dance Derby** , a new sister community to **Ecstatic Dance Matlock** , which started in January 2026.\n\nThe Derby community has its own WhatsApp group for updates, on-the-day information, post-dance playlists and connection:\n\n- If you’d like to join the Ecstatic Dance Derby WhatsApp community group click here: [**Join via WhatsApp**](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CQuIXW4BlNW20AZtl4ii59)\n\n**You can also follow the social pages, where updates about both communities will be shared:**\n\n- Follow on Instagram [@ecstaticdancematlock ](https://www.instagram.com/ecstaticdancematlock/)\n- Follow on Facebook [@ecstaticdancematlock](https://www.facebook.com/Ecstaticdancematlock/)\n\nWe can't wait to welcome you!",
