"Enter an open space... and with bare feet explore the exhilarating feeling of moving your body freely. You are invited to move, play, connect, sweat, stretch, sound, unwind, renew, release, contact dance, improvise, transform. Be true to yourself, while respecting others in the sacred space we create together."
URUBU started Ecstatic Dance in the UK, way back in 2009 with their amazing live musicians. And since then have offered Londoners safe, alcohol and drug-free spaces to dance, move and feel free in.
