Drops: Conscious Dance

A new monthly conscious dance event launching in Bristol in January 2026! Release | Recharge | Recalibrate

Welcome to Drops!

Explore your inner worldscape through free-form movment to a carefully curated live DJ musical journey by Raquel (AKA DJ Amada).

We gather in an inclusive dance space with people of all backgrounds and dancing experience aged 18+ to move freely to our unique natural rhythm.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

• Warm-up in the first 30 minutes
• Dance to a live DJ set designed to take you on a journey
• Join a Closing Circle to share your experience (optional)

WHAT IS CONSCIOUS DANCE?

Concsious Dance is practice which allows us to drop into spontaneous movement with no steps learn. This is a contained space to express what’s alive in you.

This is non-verbal space where we dance sober (no alcohol or substances) barefoot (to be fully conscious in the here and now) and to music intended to awaken deep emotions and sensations.

The journey works like a wave starting with slow flowing music to warm up the body and find presence, which then builds up in intensity to a peak before bringing us down gently into integration and relaxation. Sometimes the journey may have more than one peak, each varying in quality and intensity depending on the music.

GUIDELINES:

• No booze: This event is strictly a drugs and alcohol free space
• No shoes: We dance barefoot or with gripped socks/dance shoes
• No chit-chat: We value presence and body language
• No tech: We value the opportunity to disconnect from technology altogether
• Stay dressed: Tops and bottoms stay on for all genders
• Consent & Bounderies: We are mindful and respectful of the personal space of other dancers and take full responsibility for communicating our boundaries and expressing our consent whenever the invitation to dance with another or a group arises.

WHAT TO BRING:

• A reusable water bottle
• Comfortable clothes to move in
• Warm clothing/blanket for relaxation
• Curiosity and an open mind

About your host:

Raquel has been working in conscious dance spaces since launching into the world of Ecstatic Dance in 2022 and before that, discovering 5 Rhythms in 2013 which planted the seed to embark on a personal journey of self-discovery through the power of movement and music as medicine.

She's gained a lot of experience guest Djing across the country at most of the major Ecstatic Dance events including EDUK, ED Brighton, ED Bristol and co-founding Ecstatic Dance Somerset in 2025.

She's also played at various events/festivals at the Leela Centre (FKA Osho Leela) as well as Ministry of Sound London and festivals such as Noisily, Buddhafield, Into the Wild and Elevate to name a few.

Her life mission is to help your healing & well-being journey by inviting your authentic rhythm and presence onto the dance floor.

The Medicine:

You can expect to dance to music from around the world and contemporary electronic beats from a wide range of genres such as: House (Organic, Melodic, Progressive, Tropical, Funky, Jazzy, Afro-Latin, Electro, and more), Folktronica, Techno (Minimal, Percussive etc), Psy-trance, Electronica (Experimental, 90’s, Broken-beats), Drum & Bass, Classical/Neo-Classical and much more!
