We love music. We love to inspire, to connect, to heal and transform!**\n\nEcstatic Dance is a dance/movement practice to explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move, play, connect, sweat, stretch, sound, unwind, renew, release, improvise, transform. Be true to yourself, while respecting your body, in this space that we co-create together. Move your body, unleash the wild dancing self without caring what people think, claim your freedom, open your heart & touch the infinite!\n\nOur Ecstatic Dance classes create a safe and respectful environment that embraces 'all ways'. We offer a movement practice that supports your free expression of emotions and inner space through movement and music. Our intention for these Ecstatic Dance classes is self-exploration, connection, fun, healing, expanding human potential and community building through freestyle ecstatic dance.\n\nEnter an open space...and with your bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move, play, connect, sweat, stretch, sound, unwind, renew, release, improvise, transform. Be true to yourself, while respecting your body, in this space that we co-create together.\n\n**PRACTICE SPECIFICS:** _Warm-up:_ stretch, move/dance and reflect on the intention for the dance to a gentle sound wave. _The Practice:_ freestyle dancing to a large sound wave featuring Live DJ set. Some guidance & facilitation will be provided. And then we will let the music, the community and our own inner space direct our steps, our movements, our expression, our journey. _Relaxation:_ Ecstatic Dance usually ends with a deep relaxation.\n\n#### **ECSTATIC DANCE GUIDELINES:**\n\nNo late comers please. This is a shared journey from the beginning to the end and we aim to create a safe container for all dancers.\n\n1. No talking during the dance (if you wish to talk, you are welcome to chat before/after dance outside the main dance space). When we dance without the chitchat, something alchemical can happen on the dancefloor. A unified field of Being emerges and we feel both wild and free, contained within ourselves And connected to something much, much greater than our individual selves. \n2. Drug-Free, Smoke-Free, Alcohol-Free environment \n3. No photos or videos, Mobile phones muted and out of sight \n4. Care/Awareness for the co-created space and each other \n5. Move your body however you wish \n6. No spectating. Stay connected to your own body, sensations, emotions, and feelings. Ecstatic Dance is about you and your relationship to the Dance. Dancers feel uncomfortable when being spectated at. Come prepared to Dance yourself free from inhibitions! \n7. You can dance alone, or with as many partners as (you) like to join. (If you’d rather not dance with someone, thank them for the offer by placing your hands in prayer position at your heart – Namaste. Thank you, no thank you.) \n8. This is not a pick up place. Please respect all dancers (especially women) and do not ask for anyone's contact details. If you wish to stay in touch with someone, give them your email instead of asking for their contact details. No means no. \n\n> _\"Our bodies instinctively know what feels good or bad, right or wrong. However, often our heads get in the way. Ecstatic Dance is about finding our way through to what feels good. How can we use dance to consciously transform towards finding joy, without denying our anger or sadness? Ask yourself: what’s my body feeling in this moment? Does it feel good moving this way, or that? Does it feel nourishing to dance with another, or dance solo? Where do I most feel connected with Self? Let your body lead the way.\" ~ Abigail Harris_\n\n#### **DJ & FACILITATOR:**\n\n_◈ Sessions are facilitated and DJed by Seth Newman - the pioneer of Ecstatic Dance in the UK since 2009!_ [**ecstaticdancelondon.com**](https://ecstaticdancelondon.com/) **&** [**urubu.com**](https://urubu.com) **&** [**@esctaticdance\\_london**](https://instagram.com/ecstaticdance_london)\n\n**💗Seth Newman:** As the founder of the Ecstatic Dance London, he integrates the roots of **Humanistic therapies, Bioenergetics & Body Psychotherapy, Transpersonal Psychology, 5 Rhythms and Tantra.** Seth has a life-long passion for active meditations and other movement, and embodiment practices. **His** **in-depth studies, trainings and personal experiences of many therapeutic modalities** infuse his approach in creating and facilitating life-transforming workshops, retreats and trainings.
