About this Event

Ecstatic Dance Oxford – Self-Expression Through Music & Movement

Ecstatic Dance Oxford is a welcoming space for authentic self-expression through music and movement. This conscious dance experience invites you to move freely, release tension, and reconnect with yourself and community.

At Ecstatic Dance Oxford, there are no steps to follow and no expectations to perform. Instead, you are guided by an uplifting sound journey that flows through tribal, electronic, melodic, and ambient music—creating space for both powerful expression and quiet moments of stillness.

If you're looking for ecstatic dance in Oxfordshire, conscious movement, or a sober dance experience, this event offers a safe and supportive environment where movement becomes a tool for connection, healing, and joy.


Freedom to Dance – No Steps, No Talking

Ecstatic Dance is about freedom of movement and deep presence.

On the dance floor, we follow a few simple agreements:

  • No talking on the dance floor
  • No phones or photography
  • No alcohol or substances
  • Move however your body feels called

You can dance alone, with others, or simply observe. There is no choreography—just music, movement, and the freedom to express yourself without judgement.


A Safe & Inclusive Space

Ecstatic Dance Oxford welcomes people of all backgrounds, identities, and levels of dance experience. Whether this is your first conscious dance event or you are a regular dancer, you are invited to move at your own pace in a supportive community space.

Ecstatic Dance is part of a growing global movement of sober dance events, offering a powerful and accessible way to reconnect with the body, express emotion, and experience music in a deeper way.


Consent & Respect

Consent is an important part of creating a safe dance space.

Please be mindful of others and respect personal boundaries. Non-verbal connection is welcome, but all interaction should be mutual and respectful.

By honouring consent, we co-create a dance floor where everyone can feel free, safe, and supported.


A Musical Journey with Traxsky

Each Ecstatic Dance Oxford journey is guided by Traxsky, who curates a dynamic musical experience designed to support emotional release, creativity, and connection through rhythm and movement.

Expect a carefully crafted sound journey moving through a range of genres—from deep tribal rhythms and electronic beats to melodic and ambient soundscapes.


Special Guest Offerings

Some Ecstatic Dance Oxford events include optional guest-facilitated offerings to deepen the experience, such as:

  • Cacao ceremonies
  • Crystal bowl sound healing
  • Embodiment practices

These offerings are optional and available through separate ticket options, with all proceeds going directly to the guest facilitators.


Cacao Considerations

At select events, a small ceremonial serving of cacao may be offered.

Cacao is generally safe for most people but may not be suitable if you:

  • Have heart conditions or high blood pressure
  • Take antidepressants such as MAOIs or SSRIs
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Are sensitive to caffeine or stimulants

By purchasing a cacao ceremony ticket, you accept responsibility for your own health and wellbeing and acknowledge potential effects of cacao. If you have any concerns, please consult a healthcare professional before attending.


Join the Ecstatic Dance Oxford Community

Whether you come to dance, release stress, connect with others, or simply explore conscious movement, Ecstatic Dance Oxford offers a unique space to move freely and celebrate being alive.
