About ecstatic dance

Ecstatic dance is a space to move however your body wants to move. There are no steps to learn, no alcohol, no phones on the floor and usually no talking. A DJ shapes a wave of music from slow, through a peak, back to stillness, and the dance often closes with a circle.

Awakening Camp lists ecstatic dances in hundreds of cities. Use this hub to meet dancers, follow DJs, swap playlists and find the next dance wherever you travel.

I want to share a personal story. I was 4-5 years vanliving now and felt pretty disconnected to everything. Now I joined ecstatic dances and eco communities. I really like how ecstatic dance opens my body energies. I met some interesting people in ecocommunities and I resonate with some of them there and it's very exciting. Outside of that environment I basically don't resonate with anyone at all. I either now think creating my own retreat place is the right way to go or just continue enjoying the events for now or changing continent. But there is no way I will ever go back to "normal life"

Questions people ask

What should I wear to ecstatic dance?

Comfortable clothes you can sweat in. Most dances are barefoot, so leave your shoes at the door. Bring water.

Do I need to know how to dance?

No. There is no right way to move. Many people start by walking, swaying or lying on the floor and let the music do the rest.
