Welcome to 2025! It's a new year and the sun is at its zenith. It's time to move our bodies to the vibrations of summer vitality and energy! Dancing in community we bring in the year ahead and dance in our intentions. We also dance to let go of what no longer serves.

ABOUT US:
The Canberra Ecstatic Dance Collective monthly dance offering is a safe and supportive space to express, release, and experience joy through movement.
Each dance has a different theme and a different facilitator, BUT every dance will be a safe space to explore movement within a dynamic dance community.
The ecstatic dance movement has three foundational principles:
1) Dance barefoot if possible to connect more fully with the ground.
2) Dance without words to promote a meditative state, as there is no verbal instruction from facilitators during the experience.
3) Dance as you are, meaning without the use of drugs, alcohol, phones, cameras, and with no expectations or judgment.
**Please note, although we are using a church hall, this is a non-religious, non-denominational event.
