Once a month we gather in central nipaluna/Hobart ~ Through movement and dance we find freedom and community.
On the dance floor we welcome our whole self. Through conscious movement we release the masks of our everyday selves to come into deeper connection with ourselves, others and our shared humanity (and have a damn good time!)
Ecstatic dance is a community space and we ask all the good humans who dance here to respect each other and honour the journey we share and co-create together.

What happens at Integrate Ecstatic Dance:
This is a 2 hour dance beginning with a group opening meditation and warm up to drop-in collectively as a group, and to set your intention for the dance.
We move into a 90 minute free-form dance; an open-ended experience encouraging you to come as you are and find what you need in music and movement. Music will be provided by a selection of local DJs rotating each month. We will provide some light facilitation to set the intention of the space and ease you into the dance - From there, your journey is up to you.
After our dance, we rest and close together as a group to ground and integrate the experience.

Dance guide lines (super important, please read!)
Dance with freedom - Release judgement.
Dance with presence - Leave your phones and cameras behind.
Dance with clarity - This is a sober, drug and alcohol free event.
We ask that you refrain from talking on the dancefloor and be respectful of each other's space. As you enter the space there will be a friendly human to welcome you in and show you the (more detailed) guidelines for this event. We aim to create a safe, respectful and fun space for all participants.

About your facilitators:
Cal Baker is a DJ, producer and promoter currently working in many areas of the local music industry. He has 3 years experience owning and operating an events company, working with a variety of local venues and hosting multiple touring artists from across the world. The bulk of his work takes place in the electronic music scene, both in nightclubs and at festivals; and he takes pride in creating and curating open, inclusive spaces for people to dance and freely express themselves. In his time doing this, he has recognised that these spaces, and the party culture that surrounds them isn’t suitable for everyone, and that our community is lacking in spaces for people to engage with music and express themselves in a more wholesome environment.
Lauren Burke is a 250hr yoga teacher, coach/psychotherapist, women's circle facilitator, and has a background in outdoor adventure guiding. She loves creating spaces for people to come into deeper connection with themselves, whether that’s in a 1:1 session, in a circle, out in nature, or on the yoga mat and knows how important self-connection time is for building healthier relationships with each other and the world we live in. Her favourite things in the whole world are dancing with friends, and camping by herself in the mountains.
