Ecstatic Dance is a type of dance where you let go of rules and dance to your own unique spirit. Often people find healing and release and tend to feel blissful or "ecstatic" at the end, getting a natural high. The music is varied but often contains more shamanic, tribal or medicinal music with a wave that starts and ends with slow gentle music.
