Overview

DJ-led ecstatic dance • Movement meditation • Closing circle. All ages, all bodies.


You’re invited to an inclusive, pressure-free dance space where you get to move your body and be fully yourself — without alcohol and without judgment. 💛

Whether you’re brand new to ecstatic dance or a longtime mover — you belong here. 🌟



🎶 YOUR DJ & MUSICAL JOURNEY

Your night is guided by Kálu, a 10-year ecstatic dance veteran— known for playful, diverse, heart-opening and body-moving musical journeys that move through grounding, release, joy, sweat, softness, and collective energy. 💃🌀

No choreography.
No right way to dance.
Just your body, your rhythm, your breath.
