ECSTATIC DANCE PARTY🌴☀

On Saturday 1 October, we open the doors once more to a night of ecstatic free form dancing, deep inner discovery journeys, grounding, live drumming, community fun and festivities!

You can look forward to dancing bare feet on brand new floor mats, a professional sound system, visuals, amazing artists and an open and welcoming atmosphere! During the event, you are guided by experienced facilitators, DJs and musicians into a feeling of flow, ecstasy and bodily integration.

Clara Vandeweerdt will join as dance facilitator this time. She has a background in improvised theater and contact improvisation. As always, she will make us relax and play around like nobody's watching. 

DJ Byron Dane is joining for the first time. He has multiple years of experience in ecstatic dance and always adapts to shifting moods and expressions intuitively. You can look forward to powerful organic grooves, intricate melodies and everything from downtempo dreams to disco madness, tribal and techno. Will be amazing!

Ylva and Jonas from Sweden will put us in a state of love, joy, bliss and community as they guide us through a Kirtan which is a form of a singing circle with heartfelt mantras aimed at reaching a higher sense of consciousness.

Several dance angels and team members will be there as well to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We are looking very much forward to seeing you!

OUR PRINCIPLES AND BELIEFS 🌻🌿
One of the core elements of ecstatic dance is to co-create a socially comfortable and open space. A space where we can explore ourselves and our surroundings through sound and movement. Although its called 'ecstatic' it is just as much about grounding. As it’s a shared experience, we have an approach of acceptance, tolerance, and love for music and dance. Always, however, in a way where we respect and pay attention to each other's boundaries. Throughout the dance, we communicate with our eyes and bodies without words - and without the need for alcohol or other forms of intoxication. Furthermore, ecstatic dance does not require any inherent or acquired skills - while we welcome and embrace all ethnicities and beliefs. So, come as you are!

WHAT TO BRING? 🍓🥗
- A water bottle
- A towel (optional)
- Comfortable clothing for dancing
- Potluck. You are most welcome to bring some food, snacks, fruits, etc. for all of us to share at the beginning and the end (or if you get hungry in the middle). We call it 'potluck' as no one knows what we'll get. We will serve some fruits and nuts as well to keep you going!

ABOUT NEDA 💚💛
NEDA's core team members are educated 'Ecstatic Dance Facilitators' combined with multiple years of experience in yoga, meditation and music theory and practice. We promote and celebrate multiculturalism and diversity. This influences our community of dancers as well as our choice of music which typically is a combination of world, electronic, organic, folktronica and live drumming. We also seek to integrate various movement disciplines in our facilitation practices, such as yoga, martial arts and contact improvisation. Ecstatic dancing is a fun and healthy way of learning how to listen to our bodies, our senses and our longings.
