Ever since the first dance, the focus is on delivering the best experience, every dance again.<\/p>\n
Under the inspired guidance of the couple Lale – with roots in Dance\/Theatre & Neo shamanism and Marcoleon – Chinese Medicine & Neo shamanism, the dancefloor becomes a sacred space.
\nWith the best DJ\u2019s, a solid team of Space holders and a beautiful mix of dancers, we strive for a truly safe space.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ specialty_columns=”2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|40px|80px|” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” text_font_size=”15px” text_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”1px|||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
\u201cEcstatic\u201d is not only a trancelike state of delight, it also means breaking free from stasis. In this sense, and as we see it, dance is medicine. In Utrecht, we provide the space where we can deepen our experience. Moments of catharsis, insights, and prayer are common parts of the evening.<\/p>\n

So, what do we actually do?
Every Friday we move freely within a Dance journey of 2,5 hours. Move however we wish, No steps required; no talking allowed. Simply Dance.<\/p>\n
The evening starts with loving guidance of our ceremony leader – a short introduction of our guidelines and a physical warming up of about 30 minutes.
The DJ seamlessly takes over for the 2-hour Dance.
The evening is closed with a special momentum by our Ceremony leader.<\/p>\n

Tea and water are provided, and we end the evening with fruits.<\/p>\n
