Ecstatic Dance with Chai and Cake
About this Event
Wales’ thriving ecstatic dance community is here! ✨Founder & resident Dj Jazzy Be will take us on a journey, exploring dance as medicine—an invitation to release, surrender, and come home to the body.Join us to move to soul-invigorating, booty-shaking, heart-softening music and everything in between. A space to release whatever is present in our lives and to be free, embodied, and unapologetically ourselves through the medicine of dance.✨ What is Ecstatic Dance?Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement practice that guides dancers through an embodied journey of inner discovery, joy, and freedom. This is a self-led, expansive space with no rules, just a few simple guidelines:🌀 We dance barefoot, grounding into the earth
🌀 We dance without words, letting the body speak
🌀 We dance without substances-no alcohol or drugs. We dance on the high of our own pure energy
🌀 We dance without technology, staying fully present🎵 Our DJ will guide us through a beautifully crafted, worldly, and eclectic set—weaving waves of genres and energies to get the body moving and the soul smiling. The journey gently lands in softness and stillness, closing with slow integration and a final circle.🎧Dj Jazzy BeFounder and resident DJ Jazzy Be returns to the decks with a playful, emotive, and heart-nourishing musical journey. Weaving together bass-driven rhythms, soulful melodies, and hypnotic grooves, she guides dancers through an expansive experience of movement, connection, and joy.As the creator and space-holder for Ecstatic Dance Wales, Jazzy Be has held space at festivals including Buddhafield, Unearthed, Nozstock, Spirit of Gower, and Love Trails, as well as with some of the UK's most established and celebrated Ecstatic Dance communities.Expect a set that is bassy, soulful, hypnotic, and deeply connected to the heart and the land. Rooted in her hiraeth—the Welsh sense of belonging, longing, and connection to place—her musical offering invites dancers into both silliness and sacredness, creating space to move, feel, and come home to themselves.✨ New to Ecstatic Dance or dancing sober?
If this is your first time and you’re feeling nervous, please know the Ecstatic Dance Wales team creates a friendly, welcoming, and inclusive space. We are all on this journey together, and the dance portal is co-created by everyone’s uniqueness. There is something truly special about strangers coming together to move freely with compassion and without judgment.🎧 We dance using wireless silent disco headphones, creating a deeply immersive, high-quality sound journey while keeping the space calm and accessible. The adjustable volume allows each dancer to find their own comfort level, making the experience especially welcoming for those who are sensitive to sound, including many neurodivergent participants.🌕Flow of the Evening7:00pm – Arrival & Welcome
