NEW YEAR’S DAY ECSTATIC DANCE
DANCE YOUR WAY INTO 2027!
Start your year in motion! Join us for a special New Year’s Day Ecstatic Dance in Derby - a chance to come together, reconnect with yourself and others, shake off the old year and welcome the possibilities of the year ahead.
Through music and movement, we will create space to let go, feel alive, play, explore and set our intentions for the year ahead. No resolutions required, just an open heart, a curious spirit and a willingness to move!
✨ What is Ecstatic Dance?
It’s a freeform, barefoot, sober dance journey where you’re invited to move exactly as you feel - no steps, no performance, no judgement, no pressure to be anything other than yourself.
In Ecstatic Dance, we explore movement as a form of healing.
You might feel joyful and expansive
You might move through frustration, sadness, resistance, or release
You might find yourself flowing, shaking, stretching, or resting
You might move through many different emotions during the same dance.
Everything is welcome. There is no right or wrong way to dance.
✨ What to Expect
6.45 - 7 pm Arrive, get your headphones, settle into the space.
7 - 7.30 pm Welcome and guided somatic practice to lead you into the dance.
7.30 - 8.45 pm Ecstatic Dance Journey with wireless headphones for a fully immersive journey. The music builds like a wave - rising, intensifying, softening - supporting you to move through layers of energy and emotion.
8.45 - 9.15 pm - Relaxing and closing circle (no pressure to say or do anything in the closing circle)
✨ Venue and Practicalities
ADDRESS: Darley Abbey Village Hall, Abbey Yard, Darley Abbey, Derby DE22 1DS
PARKING: There is free car parking at the hall and in the village and there are a number of regular bus services.
Whether you’re a regular dancer or completely new to Ecstatic Dance, you’re warmly welcome. Come as you are, move as you feel, and let’s begin 2027 together!
