Born in the UK with Irish heritage, she has a strong passion for travel which has shaped her career as a DJ; spending a year in China, 2 years in Ibiza, and becoming deeply connected to and respected within the Goa music scene for many years. At the age of 16, she moved to London, where she delved into underground music that ignited her desire to be a part of it.  \n  \nBanxi quickly achieved success in 2003 with high-profile DJ residencies across the UK and an invitation to join the prestigious superlabel, Nukleuz which had her touring the globe. Her craft and her distinctive sound have evolved since her early clubbing days, from a harder, faster sound to a more melodic, layered and atmospheric journey through minimal, melodic & techno. She loves taking the crowd on an adventure, injecting energy into her sets and forging a strong connection with the dance floor.  \n  \nSince relocating from Ibiza in 2020, Banxi has been a regular on the Brighton music scene, performing at notable events and gigs and supporting artists like Timo Maas, John Digweed, Pete Tong and Arthur Baker. Her performances are known for taking audiences on musical journeys, reflecting her diverse musical influences and experiences.\n\n \n\n \n\n![](https://r2.dandelion.events/2026/08/30/08/18/22/b083e794-f5c7-48c4-971d-403d42e240c0/IMG_4776.JPG)\n\n \n\n**ABOUT THE SESSION:**\n\nEcstatic Dance is based in the natural understanding that our bodies know how they need and want to move in order to heal, strengthen, release and be nourished. Our ancestors practised rhythmic dancing to drums and chanting for centuries. Ecstatic Dance is based in this ancient practice of tuning in to the free movement desired by your body to shake and awaken your being into higher states of awareness, to release stress and trauma and to reconnect with your inner truth, beauty and enjoyment of life.\n\n \n\nMost sessions include:\n\n**Opening Circle (Guidelines & Announcements)**\n\n**Guided Warm Up**\n\n**Unguided DJ set**\n\n**Relaxation / Live Sound Bath**\n\n**Closing circle (Thank You's & Upcoming Dance Info)**\n\n \n\nYou are not required to participate throughout and you are able to sit or lie down to rest at any point.\n\n \n\n![](https://r2.dandelion.events/2026/08/30/08/40/45/6c52f438-3f0d-406d-a2cc-debbd91b6396/Horizontal.00_04_25_38.Still023.JPG)\n\n**PRACTICAL INFO:**\n\n \n\n**Address**\n\nBrighthelm Centre, North Road\n\n \n\n**Parking**\n\nThere is small free car park at the back of the building. You MUST enter your registration number at reception otherwise you will receive a £100 fine. \n\n \n\n**Refunds/Exchanges**\n\nTickets are not refundable unless the organisers cancel the event. You may sell your ticket on.\n\nIf online sales sell out there is usually a limited number of tickets available on the door.\n\n \n\n**What to Bring/Wear**\n\nWear comfy clothes that you can move to and layers to keep warm/cool. We dance barefoot or in gripped socks.\n\nBring some water or a refreshing drink.\n\n \n\n![](https://r2.dandelion.events/2026/08/30/08/40/08/aa6ee790-bb47-448d-bfc8-5feade57ba14/Horizontal.00_11_41_33.Still049.JPG)\n\n \n\n**Community:** The Ecstatic Dance community welcomes people of all ages/genders/religions/ethnicities. This is a cross-generational community, so often you will see dancers between the ages of 18-80 enjoying the space together. Most dances allow children to attend, but we recommend checking with your local facilitator before bringing a child! We are a non-denominational community, where we come together for the joy of moving and dancing together. This means that some people come simply for the exercise, some come for the social connection, and some come to use the dance as a form of therapy, emotional catharsis, spiritual practice, or prayer. Whatever your reason for wanting to move, you are welcome at Ecstatic Dance.\n\n \n\n**Space** : Ecstatic Dance is a Freeform Conscious Dance. As soon as you enter the space, you are invited to let go of judgements and expectations, and allow yourself to feel you emotions, sensations, body, mind, and spirit. Because this is a safe space for movement and expression, we do request that you follow the three main guidelines: no shoes (and wear comfy clothes!), no booze (or any other drugs), no talking (body language only!). All freedom of expression is welcomed, and there is no ‘right and wrong’ here. Trust in the journey and move through everything that arises.\n\n \n\n**Music:** At most dances, the soundscape is provided by professional DJ’s who mix the music and facilitate the journey. Most sets will include a variety of musical genres, sonic wave of all tempos, a full spectrum of emotions. At some dances you will find the vibe to be more organic and tribal, and at others more electronic, futuristic, or urban. No set is ever the same!\n\n**Consent:** Many Dancers come to dance by themselves in the group. Some dancers also enjoy dancing with others, with or without physical contact. \n\n \n\n**The Practice**\n\nIt is always a good idea to begin by dancing with yourself. Feel into how you are doing in this moment, and in your life in general. Set an intention for yourself & for the world at large at the beginning of the dance.\n\nIf you would like to dance with someone else, please make sure they are able to give their consent to dance with you before touching them or entering their field. If you are not sure, or their eyes are closed, it is a No. Please respect any No, and try not to take it personally.\n\nHow to say “No” nonverbally? Turn Away, Move Away, Hand(s) at Your Heart (prayer gesture)\n\nHow to say “Yes” nonverbally? Turn Toward, Move Closer, Extend a Hand (open palm)\n\n![](https://r2.dandelion.events/2026/08/30/08/38/25/12480b80-aaeb-455a-bc6d-15fa913f66c9/Vertical.00_37_30_39.Still078.JPG)\n\n**Thank you for taking the time to read this information - see you on the D Floor!!!**",
